Part 2 of 2005: July to December

July 2005: Javi G is going for the win despite the sky diving challenge of Fredrik by building international relations and surfing the world over...I have let Javi tell the story of his most recent challenge

well… second attempt to discover surfing. This time the proper stuff… no more Canary Islands… this time we are talking about Cornwall… to be more precise…Newquay! And no… if you were wondering if it was sunny… obviously NOT!... it was raining (it would’ve not been Cornwall otherwise J). We had a great time, and I managed to ‘ride’ a few waves for the first time… pretty cool!

...proof of how international and social this tremendous challenge is… i.e… the pic of a lovely Swedish girl wearing the RND05 T-Shirt (it looks much better on her, doesn’t it!?!) while we were driving around in Sicilly in a fab cabriolet (well… fab, because it was a cabriolet… but good enough for those island roads). She was freezing cold until I shared the T-Shirt with her… isn’t it cool?!?!

The Big Man steps up to the plate...although safely outside of the ring...Seen here at the bullfight in Malagueta in Malaga.

Bullfights - definitely the second best spectator sport after windsurfing!!!

Red Dog to a bull and all that...

David S is back again, travelling all the way to Thorpe Park in the UK to pay for the thrill of riding a machine called Nemesis

Javi tells the story: ''I've been training once a week for the last five months on Static Trapeze at the London Circus Space (http://www.thecircusspace.co.uk/) which is an official Circus School in London where you can get a degree in performing arts.'' Javi_-_Ankles3_rnd.jpg (341575 bytes)

''Having Vertigo, and being as flexible as a brick is... this has been very challenging and rewarding. I recommend it to any one! It has creativity involved, the improvement is constant... and the only competitor it's your own self!''
