Will you be our Valentine, Mason Ho? Photo: WSL
Valentine’s Day is a mixed bag. If you’re cuddly in love, then yuck it up, lovebirds! Snuggle into that dinner date tonight. Or…if you’re hosting an anti-Valentine’s Day voodoo festival, well, that’s your prerogative. Here at The ‘Nersh, we thought it’d be fun to dedicate some love haikus to some of our favorite surfers, snowboarders, climbers, and badass outdoor athletes. Feel free to submit your own haiku in the comments. Remember. It’s 5-7-5. Get it.

Elena, the champ
Mountain spirit, ocean heart
because radical.
