Conditions couldn’t have been better for our SailFast apparel photo shoot this week. It’s been such a rainy June, we couldn’t believe it when the clouds cleared out and 15 knots of breeze filled in from the East. I don’t know who was more upset that they weren’t out sailing- the models, the company president, or us. We all kept sneaking jealous glances at the boats pushing through the chop of a strong Easterly on Long Island Sound.
That’s the thing about SailFast- it’s more than just an apparel company, and we felt the spirit as we set up these shots. SailFast is about on-the-water fun, families, summer, sailing, boating, surfing, kiteboarding, or whatever aquatic fun you can dream up. Right up our alley. For me, it’s about that moment when you’re going so fast in a Laser, you’re basically drinking salt water, or it’s even about bouncing around in the dinghy, waterskiing, cliff jumping, or snorkeling in the Caribbean. For all of us waterbugs out there, it’s anything that involves water, sun, and a little bit of extra adrenaline.
It’s also about giving back- SailFast has a 10% For a Cure policy and has been recognized for the resulting contributions to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. We wear SailFast wristbands to support the cause- if you don’t have one, get one! They’re made of spinnaker material and all proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.
