We still had some heats to run for JugoMajstr, so the comp was set for Thursday. But it looked kind of doable also a day before, so we went for a little “mind off, wax on” getaway.

First day we got pretty big, mushy waves and it was all about power and speed… a little sketchy at times, but after a week of webcast from 5-8ft at Sunset, Hawaii, it felt so good to get some heavy rides (and wipeouts of course, hehe).

Second day we ran the contest in the morning and got a super fun glassy session after… I managed to check second option for the POV shots from water (first time I got a bit unlucky, remember) and got the best wave count in a single session ever, no joke! Click for more pics…

So tired, yet so pumped to get back on the Untouched project… stay tuned!

A sizeable amount of snow pilled in the mountains already and of course you can not count on building big powder kickers anytime soon, but everybody is getting into winter vibes with riding pipes and random jibs.

This cool tree jib was so much fun. I love progressive tricks brought into natural environment, it just shows true skills. And some green moss on the side of the trees really makes the icing on the shots for me, hehe.

Everybody was really motivated although it rained pretty bad. I can not wait for the real winter!

Autumn colors are taking over and it is a perfect time to catch the last warm days and enjoy the outdoors.

I kinda missed out on (non snow related) mountaineering for the past three years, so I got really hyped when ideas about climbing some peaks started flying. My friends and I hiked the whole weekend, a bit for fun and a bit for spot searching. Got to know where to go when all is trapped in whites, hehe.

According to the media we are looking into one hell of a winter, starting with this weekends snowfall… would be about time, so bring it!

I just returned from Basque country with Untouched crew, where we spent two weeks surfing with Ujusansa and it was good times as always. It was battery recharging to the fullest, like reading books on the sunny terrace and stuff like that, haha.

Yet, it is really nice to be back home for a change. Don’t get me wrong, it is a gift, when you get to travel, but after a year mostly on the road, I need to spent some time with homies in Kranstrdam and focus all of my energy on one sole project… the Untouched project.

More pictures from our stay in Spain on Untouched blog… check it out and call for a beer or a miniramp session!

This year I have been traveling a lot, mostly thanks to snowboard/ski related matters. We have been doomed in the past two winters and had to chase snow like we usually chase waves here on the “inland”. Search is always on, hehe.

Untouched project‘s main skier, Bine Žalohar, had a misfortunate injury in the start of our second filming season, so we were at a crossroad… should we make a snowboarding only video or push over our budget, put in some own and get stuff done in summer. Four heads looked at each other and smiled… it was on, we are going to Chile!

I always had a great wish to go to South America, but it is funny to drop there in summer and basically hit the middle of winter… Sanka moment on the airport, haha.

Discovering a big and totally new country, trying to get good powder shots and gain some travel experience was super stressful and amazing at the same time. We visited three ski regions, surfed, partied, hottubed, BBQed with locals… and drove and hiked more than ever in my life. Yet, we can say with out a doubt that we got lots of what we wanted and more… Chile is a nice place to be.

Thanks to the rest of the crew for putting such an effort in… Bine was sick pretty much the whole trip, but really came through with the sheer determination to get his share in the video (also cooked and drove most of the time), Maček was the proper balkan PR/manager like always and became some sort of an director/screenwriter in the mix of things and Katja got everything documented for the project (and resort tickets, hehe).

We posted regular updates on the Untouched blog, so check there for more pics and story… teasers will be dropping in November and the video premieres around Christmas, so check back…

It was rad as ever, cool crew, cool kids and banging surf conditions for a generally pretty average break. And with no lack of good skateparks nearby even downdays are rideable…

It was hot as hell all the time, no wetsuits for weeks, but who would complain over that one, hehe…

Also check more of Katja’s Surf-a-grams to stay in tune with the happening in Spain…

I will be posting the new series of Ujuclips tomorrow before the Untouched crew hits the road to Chile! It is going to be a blast for sure!

Zarautz has been pretty generous to us for the first month in the Ujusansa surf kemp, which is not common for summer months.

I will be posting the first Ujuclip for this season soon and meanwhile you can follow what goes on in our camp through the “Surf-a-gram” posted every few days…

KDC does not really need a yearly reminder about that, as we skate as much as we can anyways, hehe.

We also found some cool hills these days and Šmid, who is all about speed, finally got some footy. Kids wear gloves and helmets… falling takes toll every single time. Longboarding is fun as hell thou!

Special thanks goes to Chouka who gave us a gem, it is a perfect one… thanks buddy!

I have been working on all sorts of projects these days, some for the money, some for the soul… but finally took some time for just pure pleasure, hehe.

Last call before rainy days, we went for the hills after a pretty long time. Luka got himself a new bomber, the board feels like snowboarding on asphalt and brought the longboarding vibes back to the KDC crew. The search for the perfect country road continues…

Stunt riding… don’t have a clue, right? Me neither, until I met Tadej Dolenc and he invited me to check one of his shows.

It is full on dude sport, roaring bikes and burned out tires, what was missing was a bikini car wash, haha.

Today we went for a shoot in an old factory, kinda suits the vibe, and turned out pretty awesome!

Clip in the making…
