Board meeting for the Butterfly Sweden event in Hookipa with Tatiana

My friend Kym McNicolas writes and makes videos for Forbes business magazine. This is her latest about the growth of the sport of snowkite among executives in Silicone Valley
“I produce an Emmy-nominated series called, Personal Best, which features executives such as Appleton, who live extraordinary and rewarding lives outside the boardroom. We’ve featured executives who ski across the ice at 70-plus miles per hour in a sport called, ‘Ice Kiting,’ race Miatas at 100-plus miles per hour on the twists and turns of Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California, who attempt to tame Mother Nature’s wrath kiteboarding and snowkiting, and ones who brave the highest peaks through mountain flying. The goal of the series is to showcase the spirit of some of the most successful people in America who live a well-balanced life.”
Nice to be back home but 5°F (-15°C) in Stockholm..sooo cold! I just got a email from Tatiana Howard with this picture of us waiting in the line-up surfing at Hookipa on Maui’s North shore my last day. Bikini weather feels far away here in Sweden!
Skateboarding down Old Maui High with Tatiana Howard
Thanks everyone on Maui for a amazing time, I will be back soon!!!
I am really sad to hear that Sarah Burke has passed away. She was a great inspiration to all female athletes
“Sarah was truly a legendary athlete, role model and an inspiration. She was everything so many of us aspire to be.
Female athletes everywhere owe a debt of gratitude to Sarah’s passionate trailblazing efforts over the last 15 years. As the first competitive female freeskier, she successfully lobbied the Winter X Games to include women in freeskiing events on equal standing. It is because of Sarah’s efforts that female winter athletes are some of the only athletes in the world to receive equal prize purses to that of men.”
