A New Season. ๐ John Moore (aka Juan Mas)
A changing season brings a new rhythm. After a recent trip to Vancouver Island with the Outerknown crew, co-founder & creative director, John Moore (John Moore (aka Juan Mas)), reflects on getting outside and embracing the seasonal shift.
โItโs that time of year again. If youโre anything like me, youโre feeling over-scheduled in every way, and all I really want to do is get outside, from the ocean to higher elevations. Breathe the freshest air and let natureโs cold plunge get the blood flowing.
Getting up to Vancouver Island with the Outerknown gang last month had been on my bucket list for a long time, and it did not disappoint. Our local friends are living the lives I daydream about when designing, and we got to experience a little of it with them over a few action-packed days. Early morning surfs, long days outside, exploring empty islands, and a 10pm channel crossing back to the dock with the northern glow of daylight still barely hanging on.
And I love the layers this time of year. Whatever the day or conditions demand, thereโs something about getting dressed for it that I love. I definitely needed this little sojourn, and the fresh perspective that comes with a change of season. My favorite time of year at Outerknown.โ
