Rob-CanCarve

Full house last night at Longboard Haven, thrilled to have Michael Lambert and Matthew Morison of the Canadian Olympic Alpine team in the house before heading to Sochi 2014

Hi I am not sure that anyone will remember me from here, a couple shoulder injuries and other mishaps has kept me away for the slopes for the last couple of years, I am back and looking forward to winter. A lot has changed, the biggest thing being I now own a longboard skate shop in downtown Toronto, called Longboard Haven. It is Toronto's newest skate shop offering the best quality longboards and skate gear for riders of all ages and abilities. Our philosphy is simple, "if we don't ride it, we don't stock it", we are focused on providing the best equipment, customer service and expertise. Longboard Haven is thrilled to partner with Apex Sport and Kessler Canada, becoming the first ever showroom dedicated to leading-edge snowboard race technology. We are holding an event at the shop on Tuesday, December 17th, 2013 to celebrate this step in bringing together people who love a perfect carved turn and to wish members of the Canadian Olympic Alpine team good luck before heading to Sochi. Here is a link to the event and please like us on FB, Twitter and Instagram!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/205030819680072/ Looking forward to catching up with everyone. All the best, Rob

Shaggy and Ken Great to see that you are both alive and well!! Hope to carve a few turns with you both in the future!! All the best, Rob

Speedzilla - great graphics on the topsheet!! Bruce - absolute beauty in contruction!! Shred - thanks for the vision!! Now I need one!!! Rob

Steve: My suggestion is treat yourself and get a set of BTS's from Fin. It is the best upgrade you can put to a Raichle/Deeluxe boot. Just my 2 cents Canadian Rob

I do not know who fed you that nonsense!!!!! I have a 184 PR that Bruce built for me almost 7 years ago - it see's 10-15 days per season and it rides today as well as it did the first day being place in my hand. The camber is still alive and well. To say that the quality still continues - I was luck to pick up a slightly used 177 All Mountain a couple seasons ago and it has performed as well as my first Pure Race. Just my 2 cents Canadian Rob

I went to Louis with my son on Sunday and I would honestly give my "left nut" for another day of riding like that. Perfect is not a good enough word - hero winter snow, blue sky and sunshine - the hills never even got marked up I am hoping that mother nature continues to cooperate and I can get up this week. All the best, Rob

Ralph: Thanks for the morning smile, brother!!!!! Hopefully paths will cross in the future! All the best, Rob

I am absolutely thrilled with mine, riding a blue/red combo. I could never get my Suzuka's feeling right - could not ride in walk mode and could not find the right angle in locked. Put in the BTS's last season - have loved them! Just my 2 cents Canadian Rob

POW: Saw them also - look like a great option for people with skinny ankles/calfs - like me. Has anyone out there tried them??? All the best, Rob

I race slalom, ride skateboard parks, cruise longboards and run downhill in the summer months - all of it helps your snowboarding technique! Choose what you like and have fun - you will not be disappointed. All the best, Rob

Gabe: My plans exactly - the weather looks much better for Saturday - colder and sunny. See you there. All the best, Rob

I cannot do Saturday - but plan to be there Sunday Rob

Guys & Gals: Just checked the weather and both weekend days are the same - cold, sunny - small chance of flurries. My plans are to be there early Sunday AM. Welcome all those who want to join. All the best, Rob

Scott: Excellent work - your should enable a printable version. It would become the bible of carving. All the best, Rob
