Iese cineva la surfing?

Cei de la “fuck you very much” ne invita la o iesire pe mare cu tot cu placa de surf.

Pentru a face invitatia mai apetisanta ne-au pus si o poza sugestiva, doar doar lasam scuzele acasa si ne aruncam in valuri.

Noi consideram in mod oficial ca asta e o invitatie ce nu poate fi refuzata de nici un om cu tziglele asezate frumos pe casa!!

WaveJet – surfing high tech

Placile de surf primesc un sistem de autopropulsie nou nout! Are autonomie de 30min si e capabil sa “impinga” placa de 2-3 ori mai repede decat ar face-o un surfer cu manile. Zicala “cu manutele astea doua” devine veche :)

WaveJet is a patented Personal Water Propulsion (PWP) engine designed for use in a range of personal watercraft, including surfboards, SUPs, kayaks, kiteboards, rescue boards and light boats. Powered by an integrated twin-lithium ion battery pack, WaveJet is capable of 20 pounds of thrust, has a continuous run-time of over 30 minutes, and recharges in a standard wall socket. 2 to 3 times faster than paddling a surfboard, WaveJet is safe, quiet and light, and can even be used in shallow water where paddles and oars are ineffective and outboards can?t be used at all.

Red Bull – Project Air

Descopar cu placere alte si alte proiecte semnate Red Bull …! Sunt convins ca abia de zgarii suprafata apei dar ma bucur ca un copil de cate ori dau peste cate unul.

In cazul de fata – Red Bull Proect Air.

“Borrowing training concepts first proto-typed by snowboarder Shaun White during “Project X”, the best of the best, including two-time and reigning Men’s World Champion Mick Fanning, Women’s World Champion Sofia Mulanovich, Junior World Champions Julian Wilson and Sally Fitzgibbons, along with international stars Jordy Smith and Michel Bourez will be expanding, honing and refining their aerial repertoires with the assistance of professional coaches, pro skateboarders and the use of gymnastic facilities.”

The bigest wave riden by Mark Matthew

The 26 year old from Maroubra in Sydney waited about six hours in order to get this incredible 15 second ride. ?It had been really slow all day and I hadn?t had any good ones,? said Mark.

Then this mountain came roaring out from the horizon I got goose bumps all over as soon as I saw it. I looked up at Hippo (Ryan Hipwood) who was on the jet ski and he didn?t even smile he just said ?this thing is huge.?
?There was so much water sucking off the reef. I just kept my eyes right in front of me and hoped the corner of the barrel wasn?t about to lip me in the head.?

Trying to describe the sensation, Mark said: ?Big barrels like that feel like they are alive. They suck all the air inside. That?s what surfers mean when they say they felt the wave take a breath.?  ?You feel like you?re surrounded by the whole ocean. The air has nowhere left to go and just gets spat out into the channel, taking you with it. This is the feeling that keeps coming back over and over and over again.?

?This one can be topped,? said Mark. ?It?s the thrill of the chase that keeps me going.?

Recomandare documentar, Riding Giants

Este vorba de un film documentar despre surf. Cand a aparut pentru prima data, cum s-a transformat intr-un mod de viata, care au fost primele “figuri” care i-au dat notorietate. In bucata de mai jos il vedeti pe Laird Hamilton, unul din pionierii de “big wave surfing” modern. Absolut incredibil! Va recomand din tot sufletul sa il vedeti cap coada. Enjoy.
