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.

Vielleicht geht’s dir wie mir damals: Segelschein bestanden – und im Kopf schon die erste Charteryacht auf dem offenen Meer. Ich dachte wirklich, ich kann „jetzt sofort los“. Heute bin ich froh, dass ich es anders gemacht habe: erst Mitsegeln, Routine aufbauen, Verantwortung Schritt für Schritt steigern. Inzwischen bin ich seit Jahren Skipper, chartere eigene Yachten – und habe mich mit dem Thema „Vom Scheininhaber zum Skipper“ sehr intensiv beschäftigt. Und nein: Ich will dir das nicht schlechtreden. Im Gegenteil. Ich möchte dir typische Problematiken zeigen, die viele unterschätzen – und vor allem Wege, wie du wirklich sicher vom Schein zum Skipper wirst. 👉 Alle Infos zu meinem Stufen-Konzept & Trainings findest du hier (Termine, Preise & Details): https://sporedo.de/dl/vom-schein-zum-skipper-praxisnahe-skipper-ausbildung-mit-sporedo/ 📅 Auf der Seite kannst du außerdem direkt einen persönlichen Gesprächstermin mit mir vereinbaren, wenn du kurz klären willst, was für dich der beste nächste Schritt ist. Schreib mir gern in die Kommentare: Wo stehst du gerade – Schein frisch, erste Charter geplant oder schon erste Skipper-Erfahrung? #segeln #skipper #vomScheinZumSkipper #yachtcharter #segelpraxis #sicherheit #sporedo
