The Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis Cooking At Home Show (Art House - Episode GH0107H, 2009)
"Giada transforms part of her home into a gallery for one night to host an art show and display the work of one of her artist friends, Darren Quinn.
Giada's party menu will be as colorful as the paintings, but also easy to eat since guests will be mingling and viewing art."
In 2003 Darren Quinn, Jaques Pauvert and Richard Greene began the design phase of one of the most extradordinary windsurfing project in the history of the sport. Jaques and Darren mused on
what it would take to enable someone in Darren's physical condition to have a true windurfing experinece. They went to Maui based board builder Richard greene who is considered amoungst the best in the world.
The meeting resulted in a series of design experiements and the begining of a life long friendship. After serveral trial models, they finally reached a design based on a catamaran with a three hulled front end that put Darren
out in the thick of the action, was stable enough to carry both sailers and fast enough to cross the Molokai channel, an eight mile stretch of rough ocean between Maui and Molokai.
To prepare for the expedition Darren learned to scuba dive using an air tank to breath incase the cat-sail should capsized
during it's journey. On the day of the crossing everyone came out to support Darren. As he and Jacques sailed they were flanked by crew on 4 jet skies
a helocopter that was filming and the 'Red Rhino' an antique submarine sag boat that carried friends and family to cheer him on.
