THE FAREWELL ISSUE

SCRAP BOOK

We have no idea if this is a goodbye, but the truth is that the precarious state of the world economy - as well as the weak leaders of the bodyboarding industry in Europe and Portugal - is giving us a hard time.

However, with the very little we had in hand, we seek to do something that represented the real feeling of bodyboarding. Is there a better way than a bodyboarder upside-down in a super heavy wave?

In the end consider this issue not just as a goodbye, but rather as a… see you later! Hopefully we’ll be together pretty soon sharing some waves and barrels.

Não sabemos bem se esta será a edição de despedida, mas a verdade é que o estado precário da economia mundial – bem como os fracos de espírito que lideram a indústria do desporto na Europa e em Portugal – está a dar cabo de nós. Quase condenados ao abandono nos últimos anos, assim é muito difícil prever se o futuro será auspicioso.

Porém, com o pouco que tínhamos à mão, procurámos algo que representasse, que mos trasse bem o bodyboard. Haverá melhor forma que um bodyboarder de cabeça para baixo numa onda super pesada?

----Brad Jackson, The Zone, Australia Tim Jones Photo -----

Encarem esta edição não como uma despedida, mas antes como um até já! É que, mais não seja, em breve voltaremos a estar juntos e a partilhar as maravilhas do oceano.

[TXT] António Fonseca

The young Pitaça is one of the most fantastic free-surfers ever seen in the Portuguese coast.

Here, droppin' in the Shakira bowls; he moves toward the G spot and gives us the motto for what follows – an edition full of waves and action. Without a doubt, this is a great start.

O jovem Pitaça é um dos mais fantásticos free-surfers que alguma vez se viu pela costa portuguesa. Na Shakira, ele avança em direção ao ponto G e dá o mote para o que se segue – uma edição repleta de ondas e ação. Sem dúvida, um ótimo início.

For several weeks the last winter was generous to the Portuguese bodyboarders situated in the country’s North side. As you can notice here, Paulo Valente, one of the standouts around the Espinho waters, is a damn good fine example.

O último inverno foi generoso para os bodyboarders portugueses situados a Norte.

Que o diga Paulo Valente, um dos atletas de destaque pelas águas de Espinho, que em casa não se coíbe de voar assim.

What captures the attention on this Shark Island photo are the colours presented… and also the fact that Thomas Bayley is going left on a internationally recognized peak for its scary rights. More global fever is accessible a few pages ahead. Go for it!

O que chama a atenção nesta foto – registada em Shark Island – são as cores que apresenta... e ainda o facto de Thomas Bayley estar a ir para a esquerda num pico internacionalmente reconhecido pelas suas assustadoras direitas.

A febre global está acessível umas páginas mais à frente. Siga!

This is a wonderful photographic composition of ‘Bodecas’ in Sta. Maria, Azores. Sometimes it seems too simple to get a shot like this one. It isn’t! Find more postcards like this one right after the 6Pack.

Maravilhosa composição de António Saraiva, o Bodecas, em Sta. Maria, Açores. Por vezes até parece simples conseguir uma chapa assim. Não é! Encontra mais postais do género, i.e., exclusivamente nacionais, já a seguir ao 6Pack.

Ricardo Amaral Photo

05

Emptiness as a human condition is a sense of generalized boredom, social alienation and apathy. On waves we never get tired from visuals like this one! Somewhere in the Nazaré district.

O vazio, como condição humana, é uma sensação generalizada de tédio, alienação social e apatia.

Nas ondas um visual destes nunca farta! Algures pelas águas da Nazaré.

Bruno Aleixo Photo

Dk is a form of expression, an alternative itself, a statement of difference given the strong contingent of prone riders. This incredible blasting backside attack from Matt Lackey shows there’s no room for doubts – Dk is not dead!

Dk é uma forma de expressão, constitui mais uma alternativa em si, uma espécie de declaração de diferença perante a forte preferência dos praticantes sobre o prone. Este backside arrasador de Matt Lackey não deixa margens para dúvidas – o Dk não está morto!

The editorial crew dived into the photographic files for a few hours, only to realize that this tiny little country has an amazing bunch of fierce bodyboarders and t h r e e o r f o u r (o k , f i v e o r s i x) stupidly incredible waves.

No wonder in the past years Portugal is being labeled as one of the best surf d e s t i n a t i o n s w o r l d w i d e . Tr u e?

Fa ls e? We sim p l y d o n’t c a r e.

+,:-9<;, +(: 65+(: 4(0: ;,476 °°°°-(;6 -965;A07 Este fato foi desenvolvido para permitir que os bodyboarders possam aproveitar as boas condiçþes no inverno, quando entram os maiores sets e os spots estão desertos. Para tal, este fato vai proporcionar um måximo de calor e de estanqueidade, graças ao neoprene de 4 mm no tronco e costas, aos vedantes nos punhos e tornozelos e ao facto de ser cosido/colado. Se aliarmos a isso o neoprene Ultrastretch, o corte que liberta a rotação dos braços e conjuga zonas de na ågua durante mais tempo e apanhar mais ondas!

E para que possa regressar mais rapidamente Ă ĂĄgua, o forro ĂŠ 100% poliĂŠster reciclado, para uma secagem mais rĂĄpida.
