Splitboarding Highlights

My buddy Greg Joyner, whom I know from PCMR, and his lovely wife run the Salt Lake Surf Co. retail shop in Sugarhouse. For a few years they’ve been specializing in aquatic recreation and have been a premier dealer for kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, servicing our landlocked state and mostly little rivers with premium and specialty products. Last winter, after dealing a lot with Forrest Shearer, who is super tapped into the local SUP scene, decided that if they’re a surf company, they might as well break into surfing the white wave too.

Now, Salt Lake City has no shortage of snowboard retailers, so Greg opted to take a unique approach to the sport, and only stock splitboarding products and supporting brands. They’re currently carrying Voile, Jones, Spark R&D, Karakorum, BCA, Dakine, and Pieps in the realm of white wave shredding. Greg threw an Avy awareness night on Thursday 11/3/11, and the above video is a quick edit I put together for the party featuring some of my favorite shots from 2010/2011 season, and all except for the opening GoPro shot were shot off piste. Mad props to Andy, Tony, Tanner, and Benny for coming away with some super cool shots last season. Oh yeah, I have a couple mixed in there too. Enjoy.
