2011 On Location Tour

Well it's that time again when pwe take the Skool on the road and travel the US from coast to coast! This year also for the first time, we have kept the Skool open for 3 weeks of Kids Camp! Nicola & Logan Haun have been teaching a great bunch of local kids from Orlando, who are getting ready for Florida State Championships being held in 10 days from now at Marbury!

Mat Page & I have departed Orlando North and just spent 2 great days at Cory Pickos's Ski Skool, you are most likely asking yourself why are they at Cory's!

Well, apart from Cory and I going back a long way in sport having competed at many tournaments together, I had planned some time in to meet up with Thibaut Dailand to shoot some 69 Slam Underwear & Swimwear pictures and video for the website and Surf Expo coming up in September, unfortunately Thibaut found out that he was no longer qualified for the World Championships coming up in Russia because of some new scores coming in and he needed to fly back to France to qualify this past weekend, of course he forgot to call or email and tell me he would no longer be there!!!

Nit to worry, Cory and Rose are great people and very welcoming to all and we hung out and had a great time catching up on ski school and tournament stories from Years past!!!
Many years past!!!

Cory & Rose Pickos hanging out at The Red Bar in Destin near Pensacola FL





We also had a fantastic night and Dinner at Louis Louis Bar & Restaurant also owned by Ole & Kyle who training at Cory's with their 4 children. Ole is originally from Belgium and opened The Red Bar 16 years ago and now it's known as one of the best watering wholes in Destin! We went on Saturday for a late lunch to The Red Bar following a great night at Louis Louis, I can tell you it took most of the morning to feel right after drinking the famous Corita's named after Cory Pickos. This guy has big friends in great places in , if you have not been to Destin to and skied at Cory's or eaten at Louis Louis and drank at The Red Bar, then you should definitely put this destination on your list!!!

Cory even has his own Vodka, I have to say it looks and tastes at lot like Some other Vodka on the market!!!
