Grom Goes Big<br />

Grom Gormley is a nomad kiteboarder who makes his living scraping by and getting as much time<br />

on the water as possible. Grom is always pushing himself to learn new moves and as a result he<br />

makes very frequent appearances in the Yard Sale section of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Kiteboarder</strong>. We figured it’s time<br />

for Grom to get a photo published that doesn’t involve an epic crash. One can only imagine what<br />

the kids on the rock are thinking as they watch this bearded hippie flying 30 feet above them. We<br />

are not sure how the landing went, but no one will deny that Grom is pushing the limits on this<br />

perfect summer day in the Gorge. Photo Dallas McMahon<br />

Psychedelic Glow Stick Rail Jam<br />

When Matt Sexton came to Corpus Christi and stayed at the TKB compound, he, Zach Kleppe, and Dallas McMahon<br />

came up with this crazy idea of building a really colorful rail and then pouring a bunch of glow stick juice on it for a<br />

night shoot. <strong>The</strong> boys disappeared for most of the night trying to pull of this psychedelic glow stick rail jam. After fourwheeling<br />

into a remote area and setting up the strobes, the crew broke open a pile of glow sticks and poured the liquid<br />

all over the place. I’m still trying to imagine what the Texas fisherman thought they saw on the water that night.<br />
