My buddy Francky has got into water photography and he's in the water every day. He's got a website where he publishes his best shots of the day. Best pic, best sequence, best crash. And you can see the boys charging like crazy...
Check out Nico's one hand front loop sequence, for example.
I got to tell ya: it's a great motivational factor to push yourself a bit over your limits.
The waves have been the small and messy windswell kind last couple of days, nonetheless I found myself trying to pull out some radicality out of stuff that wasn't radical at all. Pretty sure I didn't achieve the goal, but trying was a hell lot of fun!
Here I am.
Now send the kids to sleep, because I'm gonna say something that I'm not quite sure how it would be rated.
Watching myself riding a wave in a sequence like that is like watching myself in the mirror having sex.
"Oh my god, look at that body. I look like a porn star..." translates into "Oh my god, look at that turn. I look like a pro sailor...".
Right.
Unfortunately, every wave (or shag) has to come to an end. And that's when the difference is a bit depressing...
Damn, I thought I threw tons of spray! Where the hell is it?
Who cares... Just like me and a porn star have the same fun while having an orgasm, me and Polakow have the same fun doing a top turn.
Or not?
Well fortunately, at least in windsurfing I have hopes to improve! Specially if Francky is going to keep being in the water and motivate me.
Brah, sooner or later I'm going to spray all over you... I promise!
PS. Wave forecast looks unreal. Full-on winter kind of waves.
PPS. Alex found again that article about how humans fucked up the world on this awesome website (great home page article too).

Francky's getting sprayed by the best of them these days, so you might have to come up with another trick to make it to the 'pic of the day'!
As an aside, I don't think male porn stars are chosen for their great bodies.....
Well, my self appreciation is for the whole of my body, all appendixes included.
You're right about the 'pic of the day'. I wish there was a 'kook move of the day' category...
'Brah, sooner or later I'm going to spray all over you... I promise!' WTF? Are you talking about surfing or sexing!
Dude!!!!!!!!!!
As an added comment to those already received, I didn't think porn stars had orgasms - or maybe you know something I don't?
Interesting analagy surf and sex - an Italian's mind is never far from shagging.

Lano, I'm surprised you missed the subtleness of the double entendre!
Anne, I was talking about male porn stars.
No one's mind is never far from sex. Italians just talk (and act) more...
