(Big White this year taken with my fisheye)

So, the Burton Series 13 site finally went live and I’ve been spending a little too much time on the site, which is tempting me to spend a little… okay a LOT… of money on a snowboard.

I’ve been thinking about buying a new snowboard this year… but I want something designed specifically for powder. The last half of last season I spent pretty much trying to avoid groomers, and spent most of my time hunting for powder stashes in the trees. I want something that can handle the heavy “Wet” coast powder, and make some great slashes in thickly treed areas and backcountry. I’ve decided that the Burton Fish is the board I’m looking for. (More on new 08/09 boards soon in a future blog post)

Anyway. So go check out Series 13. It is freaking awesome. Your own custom board. Expensive of course, but still awesome.

If you make your own design… be sure to post it up in the comments so I can see it!!!

In other news… I had lunch today with Allan and Ben at Shabusen. For those of you who don’t know, it’s an excellent Japanese restaurant where you can get cheap All-You-Can-Eat, a la carte, as well as Korean BBQ. I honestly have never seen anyone eat so much food in my life. The two boys ordered 3 Chicken teriyaki, 1 vegetable teriyaki, 2 beef teriyaki, 8 dynamite rolls, 1 cone of something, 6 spicy salmon rolls, 6 salmon sushi, a huge plate of spicy tuna sashimi, 8 gyoza, fried rice, 4 spinach gomae, and another pork dish. That’s a lot of food for two people. I had an order of chicken teriyaki… that’s it. Anyway, they demolished it, and didn’t leave anything on their plates.

That amount of all-you-can-eat sushi = CRAZY!
