Barton Creek Cave Tour with David’s Adventure Tours
Barton Creek Cave is a must-see thing to do in San Ignacio! This remote mountain cave is one of the largest river caves in Belize and is full of unique, intricate formations. The openness of the cave varies from huge cathedral ceilings to narrowly canoeing between draping formations. There is also evidence that Barton Creek Cave was used for Mayan ceremonial purposes. Artifacts include pottery shards and human remains that date back to about 1,800 years ago.

Testing the Waterborne Skateboards Surf Adapter
Who says you can't surf in the desert? We had the opportunity to test the Waterborne Skateboards Surf Adapter out here in the desert. We've seen pictures and videos of this thing on Instagram and we had to try it out. It caught my eye when I saw the animation video of how it worked, then I saw the videos and images of people carving hard with the Surf Adapter.

Florida’s Iconic Kona Skate Park

Pacific Tribe Skateboards
On my travels across the country I was able to meet with Mark, the owner and founder of Pacific Tribe Skateboards. Mark is a handyman - someone who can figure out how to fix things and acquires new skills easily. He is a Youtube learner and passionate about his children. Those things led him to making a few longboards in the garage with his son. The craftsmanship and quality had begun to be recognized by the people who saw the boards. Soon people started to ask where they could purchase some of his boards.
