During Fashion Week I got Noah, Alex and Liam to spend an afternoon with J. Lindeberg getting an exclusive look at their new Fall 2012 line. The stills ran on GQ and now take a look at the boys postering and posing from behind the scenes. shot by aaron
Racing Mar Mostro
Puma again set us up to be able to race in the Pro/Am race while in the Itijai stopover in Brazil. Let us forget that Mar Mostro is a 6 Million Dollar race boat that they let a bunch of kids drive, forget that we are in Brazil for this amazing opportunity, racing with these sailors is the equivalent of scrimmaging with the New York Giants. If you don’t follow the Puma Sailing blog I really suggest you do, it’s amazing what these guys go through in this race and I would put them up against any pro athlete in the world in terms of being hard men.
The first time I heard it I thought it was a whip cracking somewhere. Loud, intense rustling accelerates in volume and pace and then “CRACK!”. Rolling fabric pulled tight by the wind and 70 feet of carbon fiber pitches up and accelerates, sailors work adroitly, noiselessly as we continue ever faster, ever faster.
It was true for Abu Dhabi and true again in Brazil, the team of talent that Puma put together was just incredible and I feel humbled and honored to have been included. I learned a lot about myself, world and work this week and it is largely thanks to you all. So here I am Monday afternoon, feeling a little tired, but fully inspired.
Puma sent us out on a Pirate Ship to chase their boat Mar Mostro for the in port race yesterday. Justin was a bit sea sick, the sandwiches disappeared in minutes and I ate 2 pounds of grapes. The race? We got 3rd.
make your saturday night count, and honor your teammates
John Jannuzzi is an editor at Lucky Magazine, an adroit story-teller and likes his dogs a lot more than most people.
Another day chasing Mar Mostro, hopefully today the rest of the teams are as well.
