Let My People go Surfing
Sunday, April 6th, 2008If you haven’t read Yvon Chouinard’s “Let My People go Surfing”, perhaps after watching the speech below (about 60 minutes long), it might leave you wanting more. It is one of my favorites reads, click through on the link from my book list if you’re interested, and enjoy the words from this wise man.

Friday, May 25th, 2007May 29thHome sweet home, a place that is pretty foreign to me right now. Rip.TV did an excellent job of peeking in to my home with their show called Home Invasion, check it out!!Caryn has been with me for the last couple weeks, so home is on the road right now, and now we’re in Halifax, and are heading for New Brunswick. My buddy Alex Lavigne just flew home this morning, we’ve partnered up to produce a follow up DVD to Manifesto, so we’ve been filming like crazy the last couple weeks. Filming will continue in Europe in July when we meet up with Thomas Ohler, and incredible rider from Austria who will have a segment in the film.I post video blogs every once in a while on Norco’s Website, have a look sometime!Just wanted to recommend a book I just finished reading, it’s called “Let my People go Surfing”, by Yvon Chouinard. Chouinard is the founder of the company Patagonia, and his philosophies about business and life are so important in todays world. Well, gotta hit the road!!!Ryan
