"So, instead of logging a few more hours practicing a run he already
knew he could land, White and nine of his friends, including U.S.
snowboarding coach Bud Keene, rented sea kayaks at Horseshoe Bay in
West Vancouver. Instead of worrying over his run, White and his
friends spent the evening before the biggest contest of his life not
talking and not thinking about snowboarding."
