Hello Nimbus fans and supporters. This is Chris here reporting in from my endless
summer of Hunting Yeti’s...
// 08.14.2008
It’s hard to Hunt Yeti during the summer months, as the mythical beast migrates from the snow covered mountains, following the snow melt down river and out to the sea. Once there, the Yeti can sometimes be spotted swimming and barbequing on the beach. Therefore the Nimbus Crew set out to the beaches of Cabo, Mexico in search of the Yeti and traded in their skis for surfboards.
