Jamie O'Brien
Confesso que já estava a estranhar. A nação boogie tardou em reagir à entrada do Jamie O'Brien directamente no quadro principal do Pipeline Masters. A mim, até me parece saudável a ideia de um surfista local de Pipe querer entrar numa prova de Bodyboard. Por outro lado, não é ideia que me agrade por completo. E os bodyboarders locais havaianos, não mereciam? E o clássico Kainoa McGee que aparentemente perdeu o lugar para o Quilhas Saltitante? E isto não passará uma imagem submissa do Bodyboard perante o Surf? Pensem assim: Acham que o Mitch Rawlins podia entrar no Pipe Masters do WCT?

“It’s not like I’ve been out there practising. Last year I paddled out at Pipe and got a few sick ones. And the year before I got a sick right. I was like, ‘Well fuck; I’m getting sick ones on the boog, why not? I don’t see why I can’t make a few heats. Next year I think I will make the final.”
Such confidence from any other person would be nauseating. But as Stewart says “Jamie rides Pipe, in my opinion, as well as anyone ever has.” Recently, Jamie was on the receiving end of a tutorial from the master, in the line-up, engaging with Stewart in “technical dialogue about how to take drops on a bodyboard.”
He also says however, that his confidence in part stems from the ineptitude of many past competitors in the contest. “They don’t get that barrelled. Some are really good, they get really barrelled. But some that I have seen in the comp - I’ve been kinda shaking my head for the past five years.”
If Jamie does succeed, it won’t be to a tickertape parade down the Kam Highway. In 2005, that same man, Kainoa McGee, bettered Dane Reynolds, Rob Machado and Dustin Barca on his way to a semi-final birth in the four-star Pipeline WQS. Jamie’s success will do little more than even the ledger. So does he have a chance?
Professional bodyboarder and a veteran of numerous Pipeline contests Jose Marquina believes so. “At the end of the day a pit is a pit, and you get ten pointers out pipe for getting barrelled. If it’s 6 to 8 foot he’s as good a chance as anybody.” Jamie’s only move is an el rollo. And he concedes his strategy consists simply of picking the right waves, "dragging dick and getting deep". Though when it comes to pickin’ ‘em, Jamie is the John West of pipe.
Player agrees. “He knows Pipe better than most. He will pick the best waves he can. It’s gonna be pretty exciting.”

Ora ai está!
Viana do Castelo, Praia Grande, Peniche e Nazaré. As ondas dos Supertubos em Setembro e as primas nazarenas em Novembro - para os mais esquecidos, o mês do SPECIAL EDITION - podem, ao contrário da Praia Grande em Agosto, ser um belo cartão de visita para os melhores Bodyboarders do Mundo. Vai ser bom de ver.

Ok, esta tenho de ver...
Para o caso de o inglês do caro leitor não ser suficiente, ou para a muito provável possibilidade de pensar que "c**** estou a ler mal isto, preciso de voltar às aulas de inglês", a verdade é que não estão a ler mal não senhor: Jamie O'Brien, de quem já disse que anda de quilhas como se andasse de esponja, vai participar no arranque do Mundial IBA, em Pipe.
Sim, esse Jamie O'Brien. Pois. Não, não estou maluco nem é 1 de Abril. Em todos os casos, é melhor lerem isto.
E sim, já percebi de onde é que este rapaz tirou as ideias parvas dos Rodeo flip. A mim nunca me enganou, é um ARS mas em pé!
O homem é um bodyboarder, só que decidiu andar com quilhas. Mais uma vez, fica provado: um surfista é um surfista com "S" grande. Vá deitado, em pé ou de cú!
Um grande bem haja para o senhor O'Brien
In one of the most extraordinary twists in modern Pro surfing, Pipeline local Jamie O’Brien has been granted a start in the seeded rounds of the Turbo Bodyboards Pipeline Pro.
This is the first event on the International Bodyboarding Association Men’s World Tour for 2009 and carries a Grand Slam status as well as double points towards the championship.
International General Manager of the IBA Terry McKenna says that O’Brien started his surfing career on a bodyboard as a kid before making the transition to fibreglass.
“Apparently Jamie was into it when he was younger and still feels keen enough about it to have a start in the event. Word on the street is that he can still hold his rail in and ride deep in the barrel at Pipe, so it will be amazing to watch ” said McKenna.
“Jamie is one of the most innovative surfers in the world and an astounding waterman so I would not put it past him to blow some minds at his home break.”
“I can only imagine that this will be one of the most highly anticipated heats of the year and watched by everyone in the surfing community. It’s a bold move and a first for the IBA ” said McKenna.
Jamie O’Brien had a different sort of sandpit to play in as a child. His backyard was Pipeline and no one knows this break better than him. This is supported by the fact that he was the youngest surfer to ever win the Pipeline Masters ASP event and recently won the backdoor shootout.
O’Brien will be seeded into the rounds 33-80 in a field of 144.
The waiting period begins on Feb 17th and continues till Feb 27th with the best three days being used for competition

Os amigos
É nestes momentos, quando as ondas são raras e os dias a seco se mulitplicam, que se vê quem são os amigos. E eu conheço um sapo que está mortinho por ir nadar. Podia ser egoista e ficar calado. Mas ele telefona. Já falta pouco. Acho.
Abraço
Abraço
Socorro
Três semanas sem surfar é muito tempo. Aida para mais, quando tenho uma prancha nova em casa e muito stress para descarregar. Eu PRECISO de ir à água! Porra, mas quando é que isto acalma?
Na volta, o melhor é dedicar-me ao skate
