John Doe is an expression used as a name in legal proceedings to designate an unknown or unidentified man or boy. Here in Respect blog we want to show regular unknown riders that use Respect Bodyboards, like Afonso. Afonso is a 40 year old rider from Costa de Caparica, Portugal. He surfs almost every day and he loves his Respect Boards.

The combined EFC™ Core with DuPont Surlyn® Slick + Mesh Flex System and 3 Variable Stringer System™ creates a board that allows Jose Otavio surf ITACOATIARA like no other!! Just watch the videoclip, compare what the other dudes do with JO...
Francisco Aguilar has recovered from his injury and is surfing the winter swell, preparing his next trip do Bali... On his bag he will carry the EFC Core Respect Boards... The EFC Core is famous for it´s versatability, because it can be used in the cold water of Galicia and the warm waters of Bali!
It has been suggested that enjoyment is a key construct for understanding and explaining the motivation and experiences of sport and exercise participants. One possible way of addressing these limitations is to conceptualize and define enjoyment as flow. To support this enjoyment-equals-flow contention, enjoyment/flow is compared with other related constructs: affect, attitude, pleasure, and intrinsic motivation. Implications of the suggested definition of enjoyment as flow for past and present enjoyment research in sport and exercise psychology are discussed. Renan enjoying life!
It´s freezing cold in Europe (nothern hemisphere)... And the guys in the southern hemisphere are in the summer time! I don´t know were is Eric Gamez but we hope he is somewhere catching waves in warm water...
Respect Rider Shane Meehan is an artist, creating beautiful stripes in the waves and redecorating the sea with his board. In land he continues his creative artistic sense by making delicious food... Man I wonder when me and the rest of the guys are going to be invited to dinner!
The EFC core, present in Respect Boards, is the first core material specifically developed and constructed as a core for bodyboards. The result is a durable, lightweight, one-piece core with superior memory, flex, recoil and projection properties. It makes the board adjustable to different water temperatures. That´s why Shane Mehoon surfs with the Respect in the cold waters of Ireland. EFC core was specially made for Bodyboard! Check it out!
Variable Flex Stringer System is consisted by one tubular central stringer and two flat sided stringers. The objective of the central stringer is to maintain the boards rigidity at the same time the side stringers gives the boar the flexibility to fly high... Like Renan´s doing in the photo. Rui Ferreira and his team are always trying to find the best shapes, materials and solutions to create the best boards!
IBA El Fronton event is on fire! Altough Ryan Hardy lost his chance to be world champion, the title contention is still on!!! The forecast is predicting a huge swell (10 ft) so the show is on. For your pleasure only we show you some photos of our own Julian Gonzalez riding big waves @ El Fronton! Look at the first wave, it´s huge!
