Excellent interview; insightful questions that made the normally taciturn Chouinard talk.

I just saw your interview with Yvon, congratulations. I am like the grand daughter of one good friend of Yvon, his name is Sergio "el Halcón" from the canary islands. I am trying to connect them both as I would love to see the good old stories reunited. They met in Lanzarote when they were surfing big waves. I dont know if you have contact with him, but it would be so lovely to reconect them. I would deeply appreciate. I know he must be súper busy and almost impossible to reach, but that "almost" is my hope. Thanks for reading my message, take care!

Thanks Yvon for the interview but I just pray you look to God for direction. I love the quality and awesome products you guys make and even more I love our planet! Man, I love to hike, fish and just be outdoors always have and always will nothing beats it. I hate how much wasn't we put out and how much trash and crap is in our oceans and the fact is it won't get any better sure we can definitely do our part and that's great but getting rid of gas cars and stoping the pipe line won't help ANYTHING! it will just get worse with battery cars and all the tech stuff now everything has a battery and what do batteries have in them? Acid! Millions and Billions of batteries leaking acid in our land fills and in our oceans boy that sounds so much better! lol We can't fix the planet until we get back to God in our country we never want to give God the credit it's always me me me I did it. We are so selfish. Well I pray for you Yvon that you follow the call of the one that loves you. Jesus. You want to see your company do even better far beyond anything you could have every imagined? Trust in God. Not in Biden or government. They will fail you guaranteed. And if you don't care if you really just what to "live simply" trust in the God that created this world. Thank you may God bless you Sir.
