Why we love working with Finisterre
From the first moment Charlie introduced us to the guys at Finisterre I could tell we were going to have some fun. We parked up outside the Wheel Kitty workshops in St Agnes, walked past a glorious, blue mk2 defender pick up (one of my dream wagons) and stepped through the door. First off an amazing Spaniel/Lab cross called Buddy comes running up to me! I absolutely love dogs, so I was happy already. Then from around the corner jumps out a very excitable looking chap who proceeded to give Charlie a massive man hug, then swung a hi five my way. This was Ernie! Then a slightly quieter chap appears but the welcome was no less epic. It was the founder and owner Tom Kay. I then went on to meet everyone else that was in there at the time, with high fives from Tom and Gregor and I was lucky enough to get a kiss on the cheek from the lovely Debbs! You can see where I am going with this….these guys are really lovely and I’d only known them five minutes.
Charlie, Lily and myself spent the week down in Kernow with the team creating there first set of product videos. Charlie has known about Finisterre for a while and has done a bit of testing of their products out on shoots, but Lily and I had no idea how brilliant the product was until we got to try it. The first thing that amazed us was there waterproofs. Ernie took us outside with there Anabatic Mkii jacket with a glass of water in the other hand. He literally dumped the water on the jacket and it simply ran off. No wet patches like every other waterproof I have had, the water just fell off. Check out the video below if you don’t believe me….
These guys are seriously passionate about making a seriously good product. I could go into lots of details about all the items I have bought or tried, but I would much rather you check our there awesome new website and buy some for yourself. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
Finisterre don’t only spend time making products, they work within the community. We were lucky enough to head down to Lusty Glaze beach to film the Yoga Rocks event that Debbs had organized. It was so nice to see a community come together and exercise like that, check out the video below and you will see what I mean.
I honestly could go on for hours about these chaps. I haven’t even got started on how they saved a rare breed of sheep.
Anyway, to the guys at Finisterre, if you read this, thanks for keeping us Warm, Dry and Stoked on making videos for nice people. We cannot wait to see what the future brings for this lovely relationship we have forged from opposite ends of the south coast. Big Hugs!
