PWA Guincho + SUP little sesh + Maui race saries + fake boobs

The second PWA wave event just ended in Guincho (Portugal). The first two days were windy and they could finish the single elimination of men and women, respectevely won by spaniards Victor Fernandez (on Kauli Seadi) and Daida Moreno (on Karin Jagge). Then the wind disappeared and there was no chance to run the double elimination, so that was it.

This is the single elimination ladder out of the PWA site.

And here you find some videos. On the same page, you'll find the videos of the Cabo Verde event too... quite a difference in the conditions!

But Guincho is a great place. I went there for windsurfing vacations three times and I was never disappointed with the wind (often so strong to require a 3.5) and the waves. Now that I live in Maui though, I don't think I would still like it that much... cold water, side-on wind and kind of messy waves... I'm so spoiled!

Back to the contest. I'm flabbergasted that PWA hasn't found yet a sponsor that would finance the live webcast of the events. All ASP surf contests are webcasted. I understand that the money involved in the surfing industry is probably 10 times bigger than the windsurfing one, but it just seems to me that a live webcast of a wave windsurfing event would be seen by enough people to justify the investment!

Whatever. If they won't have it for the next November Aloha Classic, I'm ready to do a quasi-live coverage. Meaning, shoot and comment live all the heats, then go back home and put them on the web. But I need sponsors for that (otherwise I'd rather be judging...).
So, windsurf companies, magazines, clothing companies, any companies go ahead and email me if interested in supporting this initiative.

What else we got... another magic little video. It's the SUP surfing sesh in which I tested Dolf's SOS 11.11.
I love my little water proof camera. And you guys should love it too. Especially the ones that have never been to Maui. Check out the colors of the water, the mountain and the sky... turn on the heater in your cold room if you live in the southern hemisphere and imagine to be surfing in Maui...

Ah, those disks in the movie Strange Days... you guys at GoPro must invent something like that soon!

Anything else? Oh, check this short video of Hot Sails Maui french team rider Bruno Andre. Effortless taka in light wind. I got to learn some new moves. That looks like something not too crazy/dangerous to try...

Allright, off to Kanaha to give Sharon a windsurf lesson... bloody exciting!!!!

.................................

Well, since I went to Kanaha, but it was way too windy and gusty to teach (and learn) any windsurfing, we just sat and watched the Maui race series.
Here's a nice shot of a start.




More photos of the races and of the b(e)low subject here.

Fakeness rules in these spiritually poor times. I bet this girl was already real hot before she did her boob job. Now, she's fake hot.


Do you guys know any other animal that do things like these?
The human race... we are really something!

Some people I don't get, why would somebody do that to herself,

Like you say:

"jesus... I don't understand, don't agree with it, discourage it"

Still I prolly wouldn't kick het out of bed for farting.
How confusion it is to be male...

True Robin.
Even though I doubt she would fart in bed (that would prolly be too real for her...), I would defenitely not kick her out...
Also because I love girls who fart!
With them I can play one of my favorite games: the fart tennis.
Here's how it works. Anybody can fart at any time. That would be the start of a game. Then the opponent has 30 seconds to reply and so on. The score is just like in tennis.
Now, there is one person that I never beat at fart tennis. She's the absolute world champion, since she has the gift of farting on demand at any time she wants. I'm surprised she didn't go to the David Letterman show yet...
Who is she? Let's see if she leaves a comment...

OK... look closely ...
I spot a fart tampon she's wearing, that's why her boobs are all blown up....

that would stop her being a fartist

cammar said...

A fartist!!!
That's what Michelle is!
Ops... I blew it...

Cheers Rambo

Amusing comments on the extra photos. I hope you ordered your souvenir "contradictions" mug &
t-shirt :-)

I just bought a GoPro - super little gizmo - but looking at your video im wondering where you have it placed (on your leg ?) and one thing im wondering, a disadvantage is that you need to keep it more or less horizontal - or can you fix that when editing ?
How about a new post on GoPro and how you mount it (just so that me and others dont have too reinvent the wheel :-)

Fart tennis that a good one - saved my morning.

BTW if you are a swimmer - then looking at her gives new meaning to breaststrokes..........

cammar said...

Fartist, you will...
Next one you do for me on demand, I'll give you a buck!

Lano, you mean you liked the photos of Phil McGain a lot?

Rambo, they told me that they replied to all your emails. And I sent you emails too on May 26th and June 3rd. If you didn't receive them, you may have some email problems...
Anyway, try again at support@goprocamera.com.
And, if you don't mind, would you email me how you did to use the whole screen in your blog?

Sharon, it will be:"I was born, I lived, I contraddicted myself".
Which is the (not as good sounding) translation of:"nacqui, vissi, mi contraddissi".
Which is what Francesco di Giacomo says of himself.
Who's him? The guy that sings in this little clip. It's 6 minutes long and it will go straight to your heart...

Il Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is by far my all time favorite italian band. I've seen so many concerts of them and I always waited for the very end to go thank them in the backstage that I ended up becoming friend with guitarist Rodolfo Maltese. Well, I think he liked the girl I was with actually...

Survived the acoustic version? Here, let's see if you guys can handle 9 minutes of live performance... I bet you won't! Sharon almost puked on this one once on the way to Hana...

GRANDE, GRANDISSIMO BANCO!!!
And Christina Aguilera sells millions of cds...

Surfingsen, great idea! Let's see if I manage to do that within the next month or so...
The camera was on the back ankle, shooting backwards. It was vertical, but Windows Movie maker can flip your clips (look in the special effects).

Rambo said...

GP, email sent to you re 3 column blog

Cheers Rambo

Mitch said...

I think she looks pretty hot regardless.
If you look at her left hand, I think she's flipping you the bird though.
Perhaps she knew you were perving on her. We appreciate that :))
