I had today the plessure to meet some of the most creative guys in the surfboard area for me. Talked a little with Carl Ekstrom and Richard Kenvin when they showed up at the place where I work right now. Listend to some really nice stories and had some really interesting insights to innovative designs and thoughts about Surfboards.
I can watch this a hundred times. I love the scenery in the north and somehow the cold and the fact that not so many people in the water somehow during good conditions. It also has something special to me to paddle out and get a cold breeze when a wave rolls over you and you slip in your "warm" clothes after a surf.
Im really looking up to this man. I never have thought that a company like Patagonia with the philosophy of Yvon Chouinard could exist at this time. We and all the company's should use some of his philosophizes to start the revolution from the bottom.
I have read his book, "Let my people go surfing" and it just wont get out of my head. I really recommend you to read the book.
