Dave Cornthwaite
Amongst other things he has paddleboarded the length of the Mississippi, skateboarded across Australia, swum 1001 miles, written three books, stayed awake for 72 hours in a row without turning crazy, and for years has tried in vain to get Nutella to sponsor his adventures. But will he give up? Never!
There comes a time when you’re floating down a river for many days when somebody will eventually ask, ‘Guys, what day is it?’ It’s a beautiful moment, that confirmation of escape. And that’s why we love Weekend Threads. They see life through our eyes. They know that the only difference between a Sunday and a Monday is because a man once decided that people should work on a Monday. The only way to move away from that is to make a decision to do so. We did. It’s Always the Weekend.
Every time Dave turned around in the water he saw three messages on his raft. Blue (for whom he is a climate, waterways and oceans Ambassador), Paddle With Purpose (self explanatory) and It’s Always the Weekend. Three messages. One life.
Emily Bell spent many of her days with a flower in her hair, drybags as pillows and Weekend Threads sunnies on. She seemed comfortable with her lot.
They do T-Shirts too. Look good, don’t they?
