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?

I’ve always valued building relationships throughout my career. The majority of companies, small businesses and sometimes even sole-traders you’ll see supporting my expeditions may never have crossed your radar, but each and every one of them has taken the time to offer support and friendship, ultimately making success much more likely down the line.
This Summer’s expedition is a bit different from my usual journey because I have a team on board, literally. No motors allowed on this one, but I have an amazing crew ready to make the fundraising, social media and adventurous aspects of this project a winner, all from the vantage point of one canoe and a bunch of Stand Up Paddleboards. NONE of them have paddled a great distance before, this Summer they’re going 1000 miles.
I do what I can to look after my team and that means making them smile. When I found this brand I had a smile on my face, their message is super simple and fits perfectly with my idea of life.
So, I’d like to announce Weekend Threads as the latest sponsor for Swim1000. Thanks to them my team will be reminded that It’s Always the Weekend every single day of the week. What’s more, if you buy a tee from them and enter swim1000 into the coupon bar, Weekend Threads will donate $5 to CoppaFeel! to help us reach our £100k target.
Support them at your will!
