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

Photos

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!

RIP

Next Stop for Nicholas Chiara

Nicholas Chiara has one single goal in 2011... To qualify for 2012 IBA Wolrd Men´s Tour and duel with the best in the GSS events! Altough he is from Argentina he has family roots in Spain and has been practicing in the awsome waves of El Fronton. He hopes to be in Isla Reunion to clinch a good result.

Respect Action

The Respect Team Riders are always busy, surfing has much as they can, like there´s no tomorrow. Guys like Renan, Benjamin, Guilherme and Jose are riding has hell his on their back!!!

Still Motion

Photography has become a common place in every bodyboarder, because anyone can have a digital camera and start shooting in their local beach... 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!

Big Rider

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...
