I enjoyed watching Jullian Wilson's new movie "Scratching the Surface". It's beautifully shot in full HD with sick helicopter footage from Jaws and slow-motion water footage from barreling Indonesian waves. If your looking for killer surf porn this movie's got all the goods. Jullian pulls an amazing amount of airs and seems to land every single one. There is a little glimpse of his early childhood and some interviews with family and friends. Not too sure if we get to know the real Jullian but it does leave you wanting more. He looks great in various sunglass and close up lifestyle shots and you do wish he would talk more to the camera but I have a feeling we will see lots more of him in the future. As his star rises on the A.S.P world tour, people will take notice. Jullian's surfing style is pushing the progression of the sport and his first attempt at movie production is no exception. Keep up the good work.

Restless Josie - Cold Water Classic 2010

I had the best day snowboarding!!!I went hiking for turns at Mt. Washington with my friend Martin and my dog Silva. It was so bright and sunny and the snow was perfect. I love starting the season with a little hiking to get the legs in shape for a hopefully epic season.

20 Seconds of Joy

Maybe one day?

I was trying to choose a photo that best summed up my trip to N.Y. I think this photo of the lobby of Hotel Gansevoort does the job. My hotel was in the meatpacking district and everything there was art, food, fashion and popular culture. I loved walking around at night. The city has an energy that's contagious. I can't imagine anyone cooks at home because the restaurants choices are endless and affordable. You're surrounded by a beautiful mixture of language and race and it all seems to fit perfectly. Calling N.Y a cosmopolitan city would be redundant. N.Y has refined everything fabulous from the world and incorporated the best parts into it's city. It's easy to understand why New Yorkers feel like they live in the epicenter of the world.

I'm going to N.Y tomorrow and I can't wait. So excited to experience the city that's inspired countless poets, singers, writers, and filmmakers. Definitely the North American center for the arts and possibly the world. Many photos will follow. J
