We go hard on minimal, nautical vibes and embrace the waves Intro: South Chesterman vantage point… (after too much summer work I think) A first look at fall… We'll set the scene with Iori "Calx" -- a techno track that fits in with float house life, I discovered this week.

I'm talking about a little PudFluff live in studio, bringing his unique cadence to Tuff City Radio. I remember the first time I met this dude... he rolled up from his float house in a boat and appeared with a board under his arm. Turns out he's a theatre buff, and I didn't even know that.

Take a tripped out audio excursion up the mountain to the 2016 World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler, B.C. with us.
