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.

Giorno 55 - direzione Malaga (ci arriveremo?) Oggi partiamo con una domanda: Chi di voi ha insultato Eolo, Nettuno e tutta la combriccola? Perché vento, mare e piogge ci stanno mettendo alla prova. Noi proseguiamo verso SO perché il tempo stringe e il 29 dobbiamo esser a Cadice. Ma diciamo che se non avessimo scadenze a breve termine mai e poi mai faremmo miglia su miglia con vento e corrente a sfavore. A che scopo? Dato che qui uno scopo ce l’abbiamo, le stiamo provando tutte. Oggi per esempio è stato un tormento. Il mare non ha mollato un secondo e anche adesso che navighiamo di notte, veniamo sballottati un po’ da tutte le parti. Hanno perfino dato un nome alla perturbazione che arriva da ovest in questo periodo: il ciclone atlantico . No dico, proprio adesso? 😂 Ironia a parte, proseguiamo verso Malaga. Puntiamo lì, ma nelle prossime ore valutiamo se fare sosta tecnica ad Almeria (100 miglia più vicina). Oggi nelle storie c’è stato un avvincente duello che ha visto il caffè e il gas protagonisti. In serata ha dato un cenno di vita, forse la centrifuga delle onde ha mosso un’ostruzione o chi lo sa. Domani funzionerà? Lo scopriremo insieme 😄 A domani!
