If you ever get chance to meet James Spithill, you should. He's certainly one of a kind. He'll talk you into believing you can do pretty much anything you set your sights on - and then he'll give you the co-ordinates to get it done. It's that sort of no-nonsense, never give-up approach anchored with a total respect for the ocean and the people involved that inspires us here at Bluesmiths. We spent some valuable time with Jimmy in the summer over the course of the Molokai to Oahu paddleboard world championships (which he also completed in very respectable time). More to come on that soon. In the meantime, here is Jimmy talking America's Cup and his crew's legendary victory in 2013. It's a must watch. He's also wearing a BLUESMITHS tee (which also inspires us).
