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.

The Dolphin’s Domain Dolphins are known to frequent the Croatian coast, particularly in the Adriatic Sea. These intelligent and playful creatures are often spotted near popular sailing destinations such as the islands of Hvar, Korcula, and Mljet. Their presence is a testament to the rich marine biodiversity that thrives in these waters. Sailing with Dolphins Sailing with dolphins is an experience that combines relaxation with excitement.

Tips for Dolphin Watching Stay Quiet: Dolphins are sensitive to noise, so keep conversations low and avoid loud music. Maintain Distance: Respect their space by keeping a safe distance. Never chase or attempt to touch them. Be Patient: Dolphins may not appear immediately. Patience is key to enjoying this natural encounter.
