Yvon Chouinard
Yvon Chouinard (born November 9, 1938) is a rock climber, environmentalist and outdoor industry businessman. His company, Patagonia, is known for its environmental focus.
Chouinard is also a surfer, kayaker, falconer and fly fisherman, particularly fond of ''tenkara'' fly-fishing.〔(''Fly Rod and Reel'' magazine, "Simple Gifts", by Yvon Chouinard, Oct/Nov '09 )〕 He is a writer, first on climbing issues and ethics, and more lately on mixing environmentalism and sound business practice in the concept of a slow company.
==Early life==
Chouinard's father was a French-Canadian handyman, mechanic, plumber. In 1947, he and his family moved from Maine to Southern California. His early climbing partners included Royal Robbins and Tom Frost.〔(Yvon Chouinard, | Outside Online )〕 A Sierra Club member, in his youth he founded the Southern California Falconry Club, and it was his investigations of falcon aeries that led him to rock climbing.〔 To save money, and make adaptations for the way he was climbing, he decided to make his own climbing tools, teaching himself blacksmithing, and eventually started a business.〔(Publishers note )〕
In 1971, Chouinard met and married his wife, Malinda Pennoyer, who was an art and home economics student at California State University, Fresno. They have a son (Fletcher) and a daughter (Claire).
