Interesting interview with Neil Pryde... the man (not the brand).

I wish the interviewer would have been a bit more tuned in... eg. asked him about their ambitions when it comes to environmental sustainability especially in light of releasing new products every year.

What are you going to do with a motor torpedo boat, go jet ski hunting?

the cool thing about neil is that he rides the wind like the rest of us and
actually drives his company/employees to achieve excellence hands on.

hats off to him and for his patience with bruno.

who is that interviewer? He needs a mute button.

Shut up and let the man answer your questions!

In fairness, I think it is quite difficult to keep a fluent conversation when English is not your first language.
The questions are quite longwinded because you have to mentally translate first.

Considering how long he has been in Hong Kong its amazing that he still has a NZ/Aussie style accent.

Had a smirk when he had to admit that quite a lot of changes are simply cosmetic

NP was very patient with bruno....

i reckon bruno had just got off the water and had the adrenaline pumping in his veins still....... probably made it hard to stay focussed.

like leech i just wanted him to stop and let the man speak.
