A TASTE OF INDIVIDUALITY, FROM HENRIK HARLAUT

Passion is a characteristically raw emotion where there is a need to be brave enough to both acknowledge it and embrace it.

In one minute flat, Oakley’s Henrik Harlaut explains his unique style. I’m giving this guy points for standing by what he likes and what feels right, and for not letting public opinion change how he navigates the world of professional skiing. I think we could all use a little bit of Henrik wisdom sometimes. Check out the vid!
