Sports

<p>"Surfing is a passion that's tightly entangled through my families' DNA. For myself, the sport of surfing wasn't what particularly drew me in, but it was the time spent en route to the shore, rallying through the jungles of Tamarindo, Costa Rica, by dirt bike that gave me the drive and new energy." </p>
<p>- @forrestminchinton</p>

<p>Forrest Minchinton was taught the trade of shaping, glassing, and coloring surfboards by his father and hall of fame shaper, Mike Minchinton. In turn, who had been shown the most traditional way of board shaping by surf legend Robert August (some might know this name from the iconic surf film, "The Endless Summer").</p>

<p>Forrest had the opportunity to be an apprentice and shop hand to his father and August to make an extra buck to keep his dirt bike running.</p>

<p>"It quickly became for me to put bikes before surfing. When I was younger, cleaning up the shop and helping my dad shape was a labor of love, something I endlessly cared for, but in reality, the work fueled my true passion for bikes."</p>

<li>While Forrest split his time between Costa Rica and California, he had found himself more in the dunes and backcountry than the shore. Come 2019, Forrest had taken on the Baja 9000, a non-stop, south of the border offroad battle from California to Mexico and back. Adding an extra element to this endeavor, Forrest had decided to direct a feature film of his experience throughout the entire race–– expected release in 2021.</li>

<p>While hopping around the world, dirt bike touring in South Africa, and surfing in Japan, Forrest continued to make extra money with his board shaping side passion.</p>

<p>In these more recent years, shaping had shined a new light on him as it provided him the opportunity to meet new faces and bring the joy of surfing to those worldwide.</p>

<p>Forrest has found his home base in the local infused surf town of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. He's made his mark among the local scene by establishing a surf hotel and shaping space known as "House of Somos." His strong-based value system has shaped his traditional business, emphasizing the respect of surf traditions while always on the hunt for what's next–– preferably getting there on two wheels.</p>

Photography

Boise

<p>Last month, I had the chance to bid on a friend’s “moving out auction”. This, being on a film camera that had all the bells and whistles I was looking for in my next shooter; point &amp; shoot and a great big flash.</p>

<p>This is a photo series recap of my test roll on that very camera. The Olympus XA1.</p>

<p>Pros:</p>
<p>The camera is smarter than I am ... it thankfully has an auto exposing light meter that not only sets the exposure for you but prevents you from taking photos under exposed.</p>
<p>It has an attachable flash ... sounds like a gimmick to have one on what as might be a disposable camera but it fills all the shadowy nooks and crannys of a scene wonderfully.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cons:</p>
<p>For a film camera the images still seem too digital ... maybe it’s the auto leveling or auto focus but I feel as if the images might as well be taken on an iPhone with some minor adjustments done in a post-app.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My final thoughts are that this is only my first roll on this camera. Film stocks vary the final product so much even while the camera stays the same. I’m looking forward to keeping this little tool in my bag as a great plan B and light weight go-to.</p>

<p>“If you're going to Germany for four years regarding professional reasons, you can just take your own car with you, thought Nathan Rowland. And that is exactly what the american did with his black 911 Carrera. A short talk about real quality, the Elfer and its home.”</p>
<p>- words from collaborating publisher, <a href="https://crazyaboutporsche.com/en/">crazyaboutporsche</a></p>

<p>Hello, Nathan. Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and your vehicle?</p>
<p>Hello! My name is Nathan Rowland. I was born in the USA - where I am now living again. Boise, Idaho, to be exact. But in the mid-1990s I was working in Germany for quite some time. My car was also there: an all-black 911 Carrera Coupé from 1987, of course including the distinctive turbo wing.</p>

<p>You had taken your car with you to Germany, what were you doing while you were there? And why was it necessary to bring your beloved 911 with you?</p>

<p>I moved to Germany for work and was able to stay there for four years at first. Back then, I worked in the administration of the US Army. It was a wonderful experience on every level. Why take the 911? Because, of course, when one moves to Germany, one should take one’s German car. Seriously, it was a perfect opportunity to enjoy the 911. Driving the 911 through the gorgeous German countryside was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My daily commute afforded the opportunity to drive 15 miles of twisty country 2-lane roads. Through forests and fields, over hills and down valleys, I knew all the passing points. In the US Porsche community, people take vacations consisting of coming to Germany to drive Porsches! I got to do it every day!</p>

<p>How was it getting the car back home to Boise, Idaho? Any hiccups?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The shipping company was under a new contract with my employer and was totally unprepared for the task. As a result, my car sat in a customs lot in the port of Houston all summer in 2014. The shipper kept blaming customs. One day I had the bright idea to call US Customs in Houston to find out what the problem was. I did an internet search, and the right people answered on the first try. I gave them my VIN number and they looked it up. There was no problem with customs, the shipper was just overwhelmed with the number of cars they had to move. By August it was all worked out but I was pretty mad about it all summer.</p>

<p>Any final thoughts or notes you'd like to include about your car? What makes it so special to you?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Without a doubt, the 911 is best built, best-engineered car I’ve ever owned. It’s over 30 years old and still a design icon, and as mechanically sound as the day it rolled out of the factory. Newer cars may have more horsepower, but will those cars still turn heads 30 years from now? Will they still be on the road? Very, very few will. I’ve driven a handful of track days and also at full speed on the autobahn. I never felt like I was asking too much from it. It always is composed, planted even, and it’s always willing to keep going. I hope to be driving it for many years to come.</p>
