Quotes from the episode:
“They tried to give me a substantial raise, I said no – I’m going to Oregon to paint sailboards.”
“We hiked cause no one wanted to pay for a lift ticket.”
“We were on hill at 8am. We ran gates till 10am. Then we rode halfpipe.”
“In 91 we had another low snow year – in February we were skiing on Palmer…. We moved out (to the coast) March first and it started dumping, 50 inches.”
“I started surfing in 1969 and when I was 12 I made my money doing ding repair.”
“We bought a longboard form garage sale, ripped the glass off and we each shaped one side…. I shaped a pin tail and he shaped a swallow tail on his side…”
“I’m at Windells so I’m thirteen years old all year long.”
“Both of my kids have gone 40mph by 2 years old… bombing hills on a skateboard.”
“We called it fine dining with kids.”
“We actually became the first internet cafe on the coast… We had a computer in the lower dining room with a 28.8 modem”
“I’ve skated a lot of 15 minute pools…. The homeowner comes out with a machete or weed whacker – lets the dobermans out.”
“I’ve seen and done a lot in the last 56 years of my life”
“Conserve water. Drain your pool!”
