That I rememberHe was also a complete wave hog piece of sh!t to the point of being dangerous in the water. But that’s a whole nuther story…
It is a meaningless stat for plebians such as us. However when you are regularly flying in jets by yourself or rolling around the Med in 200 foot power yachts (not saying he does specifically, speaking in generalities here), you are then talking about the carbon footprint of the lifetime of people in small developing world villages. Which is why if you do that sh!t then fine, enjoy yourself, but don't talk down on everyone else. Same goes for the several thousand elites flying into Davos every year on their private jets to talk about how we all need to eat bugs and sleep in pods to save the world. Until they live what they preach they can all eat a bag of cricket dicks, and hopefully choke on them.And carbon footprint per individual is such a weird and meaningless stat. Individual effort like recycling (yay!) is so minuscule.
Oh thank god finally. We’ve all been at the edge of our seats for them to respond.Barstool has officially chimed in.
Founder Of Patagonia Clothing Has Donated The Entirety Of The Company Valued At $3B To Non-Profits Fighting Climate Change Like An Idiot
The billionaire founder of outdoor apparel brand Patagonia is giving away the company to a trust that will use its profit to fight the climate crisis.Yvon Chouinard, 83, said on Wednesday that instead...www.barstoolsports.com
Who is on the board and what are they paid to be on the board?What is the Patagonia Purpose Trust and the Holdfast Collective?
Who runs them? What do they actually do?
This is the beauty of not being a public company - they don't really need to say.Who is on the board and what are they paid to be on the board?
Patagucci's products are made almost entirely of petroleum products. It would be funny to hold a traditional clothes workshop in their Ventucky office - have them shear a herd of sheep and show them how clothes used to be made. Alternatively we could force them to pick cotton under my lash as I sip mint juleps.There was a Patagonia infomercial/movie where he and the North Face dude fly (in a private jet) down to Chile to buy a bunch of land in order to stop a hydroelectric dam project (completely fucking over the locals who want electricity).
He was also quoted in an interview saying something to the effect of, “there’s a special place in hell for me because of the fact that I fly all around the world, often on private jets, for frivolous reasons.”
He was also a complete wave hog piece of sh!t to the point of being dangerous in the water. But that’s a whole nuther story…
I went in there once because my "friend" convinced me Patagucci wetsuits were the best thing since sliced bread - less neoprene/more warmth etc. On the way in through the parking lot I was asked by an employee if I was a Patagucci athlete - apparently because I was the only guy they've seen with a neck larger than 9". Confused, I proceeded into the store and I tried on an XL R3 and found it stiff and tight in the chest but figured that was just because of the wool and it would stretch out. The fact that it was on sale should've steered me away but the warranty was excellent. It never did and felt like I was paddling in chain mail. Then the question in the parking lot connected the dots - the wetsuits are designed for pear-shaped bugmen like the Surfline CEO:I threw him out of the water in front of his own house. Minus tide on sand bottom point. Barrells everywhere. I pull into one and I'm pumping and adjusting down the line. This guy starts paddling in in front of me. In a fvcking kayak. The bottom of the waves are like kind of square. Kind of 90 degrees? He was not going to make it. And he kept coming as I was screaming at him. Full yard sale. Slightly overhead wave in about three feet or less of water. I had no idea who he was. Could have cared less. But when I paddled back out the guys in the lineup where all laughing. "You know who that is?" "Let me guess, dead man walking?" More laughter.
That was a long time ago. I can't imagine he surfs much at all anymore.
You ever see it when he would paddle out with a group of employees and they’d all sit in the lineup in a circle around him, all facing him? Super bizarre.I threw him out of the water in front of his own house. Minus tide on sand bottom point. Barrells everywhere. I pull into one and I'm pumping and adjusting down the line.

My home beach in Ventucky has been known to have "PATAGONIA KOOKS GO HOME!" stickers strategically placed. I actually had one European Patagonia employee (according to him) cut me off and then tell me, "It's OK. We will be gone tomorrow and you can have your beach back then."
I sh!t you not.
No work wear for me only personel use at the moment find wrangler ridgid best for work as far as price and durability with shorts and pants.You ever see it when he would paddle out with a group of employees and they’d all sit in the lineup in a circle around him, all facing him? Super bizarre.
Yeah, he stuffed me really bad almost to the point of being an assault. We got tangled up and told him to get the fook out.
One of his minions said to me, “don’t you know who that is?”
I told him to GTFO too.
These days it’s just employees showing up on lunch break with their hey-bro-all-good attitude and proceed to take every wave.
I type all this outfitted head to toe in Patagonia Work Wear, btw. What can I say, they make good sh!t.

What are the Malloys like? I always liked their surfing and their online personas/vibe. I apreciated the fact that Patagonia sponsored them.I threw him out of the water in front of his own house.
