Max Oudendag took a few minutes last fall to talk about being a Kindred local. 10 years ago Max was pivotal in turning our board-building hobby into a livelihood. He gave us a boost at exactly the right moment by requesting our first ever paid commissioned build! He reinforced our hunch that people would be interested in buying custom or small-batch exceptional rides that reflect the rider - and double as beautiful artwork. For more than a decade Max has been underpinning the foundation of our community. He does this by investing time, energy and heart into sports, events and small business here on Vancouver Island. If there is something cool going on around here, you can bet Max is part of it. He is an expert at bringing people together through projects and to our humbled delight he includes Kindred at every opportunity. This year has seen in-person events cancelled. We’ve all been searching for ways to uplift each other and preserve our sense of interconnection. How many sidewalk conversations about gardening did you have with your neighbours this year? Have you taken up new outdoor sports hobbies? In the face of tough times people are turning to nature and many are satisfying a craving for carefully-crafted goods that facilitate a life well-lived. Choosing outdoor recreation and shopping with small businesses is an empowering way to strengthen our communities. Max made this realization long before the pandemic hit. His actions over the past decade have had a trailblazing and lasting effect that we see very clearly. Three cheers for Max! Give this guy a high five below or an elbow bump next time you see him. If there is a “Max” in your own community, keep your eyes on what they’re up to and show them some love.

Available for delivery this November, this exquisite Ferretti Yachts 780 HT is truly a nautical work of art. The newly designed interior now offers the option of either a classic or a contemporary design following the footsteps of the yacht’s most recent predecessor in the Ferretti Yachts 500 and the Ferretti Yachts 1000. On the stern, with the large beach club, the new rear-facing large sun pads transform from the two doors on the yacht’s garage to help create a luxurious area to relax on the water’s edge. The interior still has 4 cabins, a full-beam, mid-ship owner’s suite, a forward VIP cabin, and two more guest cabins all with their own heads. For the Asian market, there will be an option to change the owner’s cabin to a large entertainment room while moving the galley to the lower deck to create a larger open bar area with the existing salon. In the standard version, the salon now features 3 options with the standard layout featuring a closed bar area from the dining area, a powered glass partition separating the bar area from the dining space, or a completely open concept for the North American market. The Ferretti Yachts 780 also has crew quarters aft with a cabin for the captain and one for the crew each with two beds and a personal bathroom. The captain’s cabin is replaced with a large storage area in the standard layout. Available through Executive Yacht 1-888-237-1647
