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.

Vi byter kätting här på Tahiti. Vår gamla kätting var 100 meter lång men hade en svag länk precis vid 45 meter. Otur att den satt ungefär mitt på kättingen. 😬 Ni som hängt med oss länge vet att vi bytte från 50m kätting till 100m i Grekland för drygt 2år sedan. Så den höll tyvärr inte längre än så. Båtjobben tickas av här på Tahiti och vi börjar bli ganska bra på att beta av den där listan. 😅 Men det finns en grundregel vi har snott från andra seglare som vi verkligen gillar: Satsa på det du använder. När vi seglar är autopiloten en av de viktigaste prylarna ombord. Därav att vi skaffade oss en extra autopilot i Panama. När vi inte seglar ligger vi för ankar och då är det ankaret och kättingen som håller hela båten på plats. Därav att vi nu köpt en ny kätting. Många vet kanske att Franska Polynesien inte direkt är billigt så nu får ni gissa. Vi köpte 100m kätting i Grekland för 9.000kr, vad tror ni 80m kätting kostade på Tahiti? ⛓️ Gissa gärna i kommentarerna 💙⛵️

Erst Süßwasser, dann neuer Impeller 💧 #segeln #boot #impeller Die Reihenfolge ist klar: erst mit Süßwasser spülen, dann den Impeller tauschen. Mehr Segelboot-Technik gibt’s bei „Hafenkino Technik“ auf YouTube.

The blonde is relaxing in her private, under-the-stars cinema. She's watching Harry Potter for possibly the thousandth time on a calm piece of sea with no traffic. #privatecinema #harrypotter
