South Africa :: Climbing

Posted by Forest, 15 April 2012

While traveling in South Africa earlier this year I had the good fortune to meet, photograph, and climb with some really awesome guys.

In the photos above you'll get to meet:

Kai Fitchen: 18 year old Kai just embarked on an amazing trip, Kape2Kenya, a youth empowerment and eco-awareness campaign using adventure and a love for Africa's wild spaces to inspire young people to act. Speaking with Kai I was incredibly impressed with not just his track record in the mountains, but the fine sensabilities and...

Rockaway :: Winter Surfing in New York City

Posted by Forest, 15 December 2011

When I think of all the tropical surf meccas I've traveled to over the past couple years it is painfully funny. Why I didn't learn to surf then I don't know. But in any case, here I am... December, clad in half inch thick neopreme, booties gloves, and a hood - learning to surf in New York City of all places. And, yet for some reason I'm loving it! I took my freedom to be in the out of doors pretty much for granted for the last 24 years.

NGO :: WAVES for Development

Posted by Forest, 04 April 2010

In the spring of 2010 I traveled to Lobitos, a small fishing village in the north of Peru which also happens to feature world class point breaks. During my two weeks in Lobitos, I teamed up with an awesome crew of volunteers at WAVEs for Development and worked on photographing their journey, as well as filming Capture a documentary about Lobitos and the WAVEs organization.

ACTION :: Kayaking back home in the mountains

Posted by Forest, 05 September 2009

Growing up around the Woodward household there were a few certainties in life: you wore cloth diapers, thought granola was a food group, and you kayaked. Ol' papa Woodward has sometimes been referred to as one of the "founding fathers" of whitewater kayaking in the Southeast (you can check out his book here), and it followed logically that at the age of four I found myself on the river in a kayak, and at the ripe old age of six was kayaking class II-III whitewater in the NC mountains.

In the shade of a palm tree,

I parked my wheelchair,
