The sound of silence. I t hought of t he Simon & Gar f unkel's famous song while I was f lipping t hr ough t he pages of t his new issue. Ther e ar e ver y few moment s of silence in spor t , of t en pauses may be noisy, t oo. Somet imes, t hough, we make our ow n silence, almost like a k ind of self-isolat ion. Whet her you dr ive a single-seat er or you ar e on t he edge of a wave or balanced on a r ope, you get inside a par allel dimension. But silence is also t he sound of f ut ur e: I'm t alk ing about elect r ic vehicles in mot or spor t : it r aises cont r ast among insider s and ent husiast s, but sur ely we can not pr et end t hat t hey don't exist . "Full elect r ic" pr opulsion might join new challenges, like r ally and Mot oGp (w it h a k ind of E-Mot oGP). The sound of f ut ur e seems silent and "gr een". And t he sound of emot ion? Well, t his is anot her symphony t hat is st ill t o be w r it t en. Moving w it h t he sound of silence is far f r om easy for any composer...
Ther e's somet hing r omant ic when you t hink of sur f, somet hing t hat , in popular imaginat ion, is associat ed w it h Califor nian beaches, night s spent ar ound a bonf ir e... That 's all ver y well, for sur e. But f ir st of all, sur f ing is a discipline it helps t o develop a vir t ue: pat ience. Pat ience not only t o wait for t he r ight season or per fect condit ions t o r ide t he waves, but also for physical t r aining. Basically it t akes consist ency and dedicat ion for t his k ind of spor t . Ther e's also a r elat ionship w it h t he sur f boar d: each one is dif fer ent , each one is made t o mar r y a sur fer 's st yle. In Aust r alia, somebody says "sur f boar ds ar e like ice cr eams: t her e's always r oom for t hem", but most ly, t o each his ow n favour it e t ast e. And as is t he goal for any passion, also sur f k nows no seasons. Sun or clouds, hot or cold, it doesn't mat t er. Adr enaline has a special t ast e and whenever t he r ight occasion pr esent s it self, it 's wor t h t o be r eady t o t ast e it on t he cr est of a wave.
