Here are some images of a recent day cutting firewood north of Ketchum, Idaho. This was my oldest son Will's first time spending an entire day wood cutting.

Rescue Jet Ski at the end of a day. Jet Skis , or PWC's, are banned on this part of the California coast and on January 5th some ski drivers were ticketed. Those with the movie crew were given an exception. Doesn't make sense to me to ban these guys. The harm done by conventional propeller engines has to be far worse...

I just got back from a trip to El Granada, CA and for two of those days the big wave spot, Mavericks, was 20' plus. I had the privledge of being on the boat, Get Wet Too owned by Andrew Dorn of Coastside Adventures. When the director of the film, "Of Mavericks And Men," a film on the Jay Moriarty story currently being shot, got wind of the swell he sent up quite a production team which included over 12 stunt double surfers, over 120 Jay Moriarty guns, two boats with high-tech video cams, a waterman with video cam housing, and a helicopter for aerial footage. Rescue jet skis littered the channel which consistently stayed bumpy due to the wind conditions.
