More cool vids to watch this week:
- By now you must all have watched this already but in case you havent, you need to watch Matt Lackey getting shacked prone-stance with a gopro cam on his board: http://www.nomad.com.au/2011/08/29/lackey-prone-seriously/
- Also watch Kim Feast’s IN BETWEEN podcast intro: http://vimeo.com/28161295 – Kim is surely the dker who charges the most right now, taking on heavy reefs and holding his rail like a master.

The SINTRA PRO final day saw Uri Valadao win the mens event, Eunate Aguirre the girls event and Dave Winchester the DK event. With the lack of good waves the show was far from being as good as Puerto a couple weeks before but it’s the way it is and it’s hard to have perfect waves at every locations, specially in europe. Nevermind, the tour is great, the organization, the live webcast, the comments and everything is seriously as good as it gets and we can once again thanks the IBA and all the people involved ! Seriously amazing !
PS: Appart from Manny who has the right (yes we think he does coz he’s rad) to wear a San Diego cap, all other commentators should wear one of the sponsors hat and one of the sponsors tshirt or the contest tshirt we reckon. That’s the only non-professionnal move we’ve seen during the contest… Seriously, with bodyboarding struggling to find sponsors and investors, wearing a skateboard company cap or anything else non-related to bodyboarding and/or the event sends a really bad message to everyone watching and is probably pissing off sponsors and maybe aspiring sponsors… (our 2 cents…) We’re telling the kids everyday to support the industry and those who support us so… please do so, specially if you’re commenting in the IBA booth or appearing anywhere on TV.
