Have a great 2014! RIP Andy Irons

  The first post of 2014...Today I want to share with some of you who might be reading this, one of the best videos I watched in my entire life. RIP Andy Irons.

  This year, get your resolutions done! Define clear objectives for 2014 and don't forget, major changes in life are not accomplished in one day, one month, not even one year. Give yourself time to change, pick just one of your 2014 goals at a time and become fully committed to it. Don't rush!

  This year I took a serious analysis to who I want to be by the year's end, and I'm going to start simple. I am going to learn how to meditate in January.

  Live your life to the fullest! Live with passion!

Billabong Pro Tahiti 2012 Highlights

   At 10 days from starting one of the best ASP World Tour Events, the Billabong Pro Tahiti, it's time to watch last year's Highlights. Last year's event was won by the 2-times World Champion Mick Fanning followed by the current World Champion Joel Parkinson.

   Teahupoo is probably the most dangerous wave on the planet due to its huge size and power. The danger is further increased by the coral that is at the button of the sea. Teahupoo is THE tube-riding event of the Dream Tour, with HUGE and CRAZY Barrels.

   Without further ado, let me show you the Billabong Pro Tahiti 2012 Highlights:

  The event in Tahiti is the perfect example of a Dream Tour Event with beautiful and mind-blowing landscapes:

Jordy Smith, one of the best surfers in the World!

  Hi, today I want to show you one of my favorite surfers, the South-African Jordy Smith. I believe Jordy is one of the most skilled surfers in the ASP World Championship and you will plainly see why when I show you some of his videos.

   Jordy Smith has been competing in the "Dream Tour" since 2008, having won the WQS (World Qualifying Series) at 2007 (at the age of 19). He started slowly at the ASP World Tour, finishing at 28th in the ranking by the end of the year, but then start to recover and had almost won the ASP World Tour Title at 2010, finishing in 2nd place behind the Legend Kelly Slater.

  Jordy is known for a balanced surfing, with his HUGE and CRAZY airs, as well as his high Power surfing skills. 

  Let me first show you a YouTube video of Jordy Smith where he pulls a massive Rodeo Flip air:

  Since Jordy Smith first started to surf in the Elite Tour, he won two times the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, South Africa (2010 and 2011) and the Billabong Rio Pro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2013).

  At 25 years old, I believe Jordy Smith has a World Title to win ;) Let me show you the proof next. This is a Surf Movie by Jordy Smith, named "Bending Colors":

  Here are some photos of Jordy Smith:
