On The Road with Roxy!

Screen shot of time lapse from the ferry...

Last week Roxy invited me to come to Seattle and Sequim, Washington state, to visit the Merwin factory and hang out with the snow team. I flew in from California, where I have been training, surfing, skating, rock climbing and slack lining all summer. At the hotel in Seattle I met up with team riders Erin Comstock and Robyn Von Gyn, team manager Amber Stackhouse and filmer Steven. We all took the ferry out to Sequim,
the island where the Merwin factory is located. It’s a beautiful place with amazing nature and welcoming people. The factory itself, located on banana road, (a very fitting name in my opinion) blew my mind away with their progressive technology, eco-friendly approach and inspiring workers. I got to make a board, see the new graphics (looks awesome!) and learn about how Merwin is the most environMENTAL snowboard factory in the world. After the factory visit we went back to Seattle and met up with team rider and Olympic gold medalist Torah Bright for a signing at the new Roxy store in downtown. After a little shopping and signing session we went out for some delicious sushi, before I went back to California for some more training and beach time. I will post a video from the factory visit later. Meanwhile you can take a virtual tour through these photos 🙂
