Johnny might not need any introduction to anyone that has been interested in windsports for a while, but they might need a hand picking him out of a crowd as he masks himself and lurks in the shadows.

A chap we'd been hoping to pin down for a while - we were lucky enough to do so in Slingshot's offices in Hood River.

warning: you’re about to listen to two journalists talk about the news. But the news sucks! you say — so why should we care? Well, this $250 million deal might have just made it worse.
