Let My People Go Surfing

Patagonia: Let My People Go Surfing - Paperback Book by Yvon Chouinard

This books gets the highly-coveted Bucky recommendation.

It’s part memoir, part history of Patagonia.com, and part corporate manifesto.

My favorite parts include the history of some of Patagonia’s products such as Synchilla fleece and Capilene base layers (my favorite).

It’s definitely a worthwhile read regardless of one’s politics. Though, liberals will love this book more than conservatives.

Flanking each shed was a row of diesel generators and industrial air-conditioners.
