The Stranger

Eric Gamez is proud to represent Respect Bodyboards and he is in the team since the beginning, a marriege that still lasts for 8 years. Eric was born in Casablanca and spent his childhood in Morocco and learn a lot about humanity, sharing and love... Like many french people raised in french norther african colonies he has a big awarness of the tension between the Arabic and Western cultures and loves philosophy, kind of Albert Camus of bodyboard... Camus was a frenchmen born in Algeria, writer, philosopher (wrote the novel The Stranger) and humanitarian (dedicate his career helping others).

Tradition

It´s starting to be a Irish Respect Tradition... Getting ice cold freezing barrels and yummy food from Shane Meehan... Just look at the barrel and the frozen sand, it´s quite a scenario. Then Shane show us the haute cuisine he makes (elaborate preparations and presentations served in small and numerous courses that were produced by large and hierarchical staffs at the grand restaurants and hotels of Europe), not the bigmac you order in some mcdushburger...

Respect Iberian Tour

BOSSITUP PODCAST EPISODE #2.4 from Boss It Up on Vimeo.

In late 2010 Respect went on the Iberian Tour... Two of the best bodyboarders, Rui Ferreira and Breden Newton surfed waves on Asturias, Galiza and the best spots in Portugal (Peniche, Supertubos, Carcavelos and Costa de Caparica). They experimented new materials,new shapes, making the 2012 Respect Board Collection! Speaking of waves, to Rui, the best session was in Supertubos althoug Brenden missed it because he went to El Fronton on the day before. Nunito from boss it up recorded the sessions and the footage has been kept away... Finally Nunito edited the movie (he´s like a mad scientist, only works when the mood is right or banged the right girl the night before)... And here it is!!! Enjoy!
