    TGR and Surfing

    I think its awesome how TGR is somewhat involved in surfing as well. Obviously you are primarily dedicated to mountain sports but do you have any plans in the works to continue involvement in surf? All the TGR production surf videos have been killer!

    Hey dude!

    No official plans to make another surf film at the moment, although we'll be covering surf a bit more this summer so you'll have that to look forward to. Anything specific you'd like to see?

    Right on! Coverage of any type is awesome,

    Everyone I know loved the ian walsh snowboarding story - crossover stories like that are always rad - it would be cool to see some of the TGR snowboard and ski guys go and try their luck on a surf trip or something.

    Production value is always at a high standard on TGR, so clips of any type featuring surfing or just waves in general would be really cool coming from you guys

    A big topic on TGR sometimes is snow and weather reports - it would also be sick to have some coverage of marine weather reports

    I'll have to brainstorm - but anything coming from TGR is always well written and visually pleasing

    Thanks for the reply!

    Hey dude - thanks for the input! We'll hopefully be focusing on a lot of these crossover athletes. Sage Cattabriga-Alosa is a ripping mtn biker, and Dylan Hood, Dana Flahr, and Jeremy Jones are all big into surfing. We'll have a bigger focus on bike this summer, but are hoping to focus our surf coverage on rad road trips for waves, some big-wave coverage, and kind of see what else our audience might like. It would be great down the line if we could incorporate some kind of multi-sport conditions software, i.e. snow forecasts, wave forecasts, and maybe trail conditions/weather, too.

    here is the surfing I have been doing lately.
