Neil Pryde will be visiting Coconut Grove's Adventure Sports Miami store on Friday, July 13. This is exciting for windsurfers and kitesurfings because Neil is the guy who started it all! This is a rare opportunity to meet him at a book signing where he will share his life experiences. He'll be launching the three largest brands in the empire that he has built.
The first 25 people to show up will receive a free autographed copy of Neil's book, "Will to Wind."
Stop by to meet Neil and enjoy live music, drinks and Marcelo's famous Ceviche Food Truck will be parked outside. The event is from 5:30 to 9:00 pm. At the Adventure Sports Miami store, 2750 SW 26 Avenue.
A large number of people, even inside the sport, would have no idea that the company is name after a real man. Many think Neil Pryde is just a brand name. He leads the number one windsurfing and kitesurfing brand in the world, employing more than 3000 people globally and with sales in excess of $100 million. The company has been around for 40 years and been in the forefront of the industry. More World Champions have been launched by Neil Pryde than by any other brand.
Paula Ambrosio-Marinkovic, owner of Adventure Sports Miami is also involved in a project called Waterlust. It's a series of short films about our relationship with the water. You an see what she and her friends have done so far, here: http://www.waterlust.org.
"I recently shot my first film, titled 'Azul,' a segment on women and their connection with the water sports. All of our footage is being shot on Go Pro's and Azul is being featured on the Go Pro website as film of the day. You can see that here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0w-_9MT-ZQ
"Our goal is to explore what water means to us, through the eyes of adventurers, athletes and scientists. We are not certain exactly where the journey will take us but this where we'll start," says Paula.
