Facing adversity became a reality for Tyler Turner long before 2020 rolled around. Ty lost both his feet in a skydiving accident 3 years ago. Since then he’s become a pro at living “a new normal.” His injuries altered the course of his life dramatically, taking away many of his choices, while simultaneously opening up incredible opportunities. This year alone Ty competed in the ISA World Para Surf championship; he joined the NextGen Canadian Para Snowboard team and is trying to qualify for the next Olympics (whenever they may be…); he bought a live-aboard sailboat with his girlfriend, Kayleen, and started a YouTube channel about it; and with the support of High Fives Foundation and Project Uprising he became the first bilateral amputee to fly a wingsuit. If you ask Ty, he’ll tell you that he spends a lot of time on the couch in pain and that he isn’t trying to inspire anyone. He’s just doing what he’s always done: trying to enjoy life, pushing boundaries, and seeing what’s possible. What unites skiers and snowboarders, including guys like Ty, is a spirit of perseverance and adaptability. These sports are a constant practice of balancing risk and joy within shifting conditions, and ultimately picking the best route. Some days we ride huge lines of deep powder, other times the mountains tell us to stay home and to wait for a better day. All the while the goal is never adjusted: feel alive and have fun with the people you love! We are stoked to support Ty's journey.

It is a fine line between fast and failure when sailing our Mumm 36. If you did not run into a few issues every once in in a while then you were not pushing hard enough. Over the years of sailing this great boat we head a couple of wipe outs going into Chinese Gybes almost took the head of the skipper in several planned gybe and lost a few sailors over the side without ever seeing a crew member go over board. This fast forward set of sailing fails reminds us to have fun while sailing while remembering that safety must come first. Luckily for the crew on Going to Red this set of fast forward sailing fails was all we could find over many seasons of racing, even better that the race wins out numbers the number of fails. Thanks for stopping by and watching bottom up boats fast forward fails from the Mumm 36 years.
