Images that don´t need words...

A few months ago Rui send me a school backpack... I didn´t pay much attention to the bag, since I always use my car to go to the beach. Then a few days ago I was without a car and asked my friend to give me a ride, but I still had to catch a few public transports. I used the back to pack my wetsuit, a pair of fins and a beach towel... It was perfect! And then when the surf was over I storage the wetsuit in a special bag that contains water! The other stuff was dry! Excellent stuff!

The inner cuff has soft rolled edges/piping and neoprene backing for comfort. The strap has strong flexi-webbing to allow for "breathing" while paddling.The coil is a molded Polyurethane which has high tensile tolerance and high memory snapback. It comes with a flat plug to maintain a flat surface on the board. One of the best out there!

Fernando Noronha

Fernando de Noronha Island is very special to Brazilian People and it´s also part of Unesco. It´s a fantastic place and Jose Otavio is very lucky to be able to enjoy good surfing. Another fantastic photo! One of a kind!

Renan Recap

Renan Faccini´s journey in Euroland has ended... It all began in South America, where he was preparing his assualt on the eurobond money train. Making a flight from Brasil to Spain, the real trip started in the famous Respect Van with the company of Oliver Rinder, Juan Fleitas and the chaperon Rui Ferreira. Rui as the oldest was in charge of getting the young guns out of trouble... They first stayed in Oporto where they were wellcomed by the good folks of te North of Portugal and experienced the francesinhas. After a few days in Sintra they were unlucky with the waves but managed to scrap a few good ones. After cruising in Lisbon they went to Aveiro and meanwhile Rui Ferreira revealed the new Respect Renan Faccini Pro Model! Already back in Spain after the event in Doninos, Renan was target in Vert Magazine with pride and joy! Sucess lies ahead for this young rider! Maybe he will be in Europe again next year!

Benjamin Nenert finished First in the Brittany Championship Tag Team. At last week Brittany Championship open he won all heats, but in Final round finished 4th. Benjamin still has a lot of years to improve and he we are sure that he will.

Doug Smith has been busy surfing a lot... Lucky guy because I´ve been busy doing legal stuff... It seems Doug is hitting the competition and here @ Respect we wish him the best of luck! «Im in Melbourne at the moment relaxing after a big day of competition. Today and Yesterday the Victoria Pro was held at Rye Ocean beach. I bombed in the semi-finals and placed 5th overall. Pretty happy with this result as it gave me a good vibe for the Knights beach Pro next weekend. Before I left I was lucky enough to score a session with only Pence and I out. » All photos by Mark Isaac

Bodyboard photgraphy is like a cooking recepie, you must have all the ingredients... In Jose Otavio´s photo theres the scenary (Noronha Island), the light and the moment... Combined it makes a perfect photo, a memory of an image... Doug´s photo you need a beatiful wave, the correct position of both the rider and the photographer and BANG another beautiful shot!

But sometimes the cosmic essences come together and join talent... Rafael Conde Ripoll is the artist painter and Renan (Respect Rider) is the canvas. Together they combine colour, beauty and motion... Priceless!

For weeks we´ve been talking about Jose Otavio surfing big waves, but the Respect Team has another big charger Shane Meehan! At day he drops irish bombs, destroying giants, while at night he is a CHEF preparing delicous food... This looks like a Steven Seagal movie... I wonder when he is going to invite me to be his official "taster" for a day...

Quick words with Julian

What is (sneak peak in to the future)

PARADOX CELL is a beaded cell core structure designed to allow for an even flow of energy created by the reduced density of each cell molecule. The highly advanced technology of the PARADOXCELL structure also provides a greater memory percentage to that of other comparable cores on the market. PARADOXCELL is produced through expanded foam, fused together through a combination of high temperatures and pressure to create the required density during fusion forming to maximise the performance of the foam under immense pressure, while creating the perfect amount of recoil required to retain and control the speed generated by the cores inter-connected cell structure. Step into the future of core component design and experience PARADOXCELL in the 2011 season range.

It´s never enough

There should be a BIG WAVE BODYBOARD contest, only 3 meter or higher waves were valid. Jose Otavio would be one of the top contenders. After he droped those bombs there´s nothing but Respect...

Doug Smith

Doug Smith is a young Australian Rider, from the freesurf division. He doesn´t get much attention from the media, but a couple more waves like this in the right angle and soon you´ll see a lot more of doug.
