Artist Nick Hutton Jay kindly put down his paintbrush for a minute to talk about his Kindred experience. Who is Nick? Nick is a painter, creative mastermind and the hand behind hundreds of beautiful mural projects all over North America. Nick co-founded Pacific Board Art - https://pacificboardart.bigcartel.com/ - a West coast arts organization that brings together artists, board sports and conservation fundraising. We really respect folks who fuse their passions with positive community action, and Nick is a great example. When it came time to build him a custom splitboard Nick linked us up with Pacific Board Art co-founder, Ian Adams of Done Creative - https://www.donecreative.ca/ - who allowed us to interpret one of his classic ULLR images in wood marquetry for Nick's board. Thanks to Ivan from Visual Inclination for capturing these interviews: https://visualinclination.com/ If you want us to build you a custom splitboard, snowboard or skis check out our website https://www.kindredsnowboards.com Follow Us: https://www.instagram.com/kindredsnow/ https://www.facebook.com/kindred.snowboards.skis
This J109 lost control of it's spinnaker while sailing in the 2025 Scottish Series. With the tack line up and the halyard a 1/4 off the A-Sail quickly turned into a Kite Surfing rig and tried to accelerate the boat down win. A simple sailing manoeuvre in big breeze can turn into a sailing fail in seconds if the whole crew is not on top of their game. The crew needs to be co-ordinated and all the lines need to run freely to ensure the spinnaker makes it be to the boat as planned While we were not watching to figure out what lead to this our guess is the skipper was not running deep enough when the started the drop. If you are running square and have the kite behind the main it helps create a wind shadow which makes it easier to control as your crew race to complete the drop. Thanks one of the travelling Bottom Up Boats crew for sending on this lively action from a gusty day from the 2025 Scottish Series.
