Wakeboard over the weekend…

So after the beatiful Yacht it was time for a beautiful day on the water… even if a bit windy early morning it became beautiful after!

It was the occasion to test my Ronix One too and I can say that I am really happy of my board! Will need to master it but should give me a lot of flying time soon!

Enjoy few pics,

I don’t understand… Le Figaro Madame pictures

Dubai Madame Fig

Le Figaro Madame has done a fashion shooting in Dubai called “Golden Arabie” (Golden Arabia) and I don’t know what to think.

It seems that they took normal people and ask them to pause with some accessories and other clothes, all goldish. What I don’t understand is that the picture are of a poor quality and scenery (Maybe one or two are ok) but it is so cliche!

Gold and Dubai? Can we not go over it now? There is much more to talk about and isn’t it Karl Lagarfeld who said:
Bling is dead! (As per BKRW).

I don’t know I feel this is quite lousy so make your own opinion there!

Wakeboard fairy tales…

Most of my weekend I spend my time wakeboarding…

As I have a lot of imagination (I like to think) I always come up with funny (I think) nick names and other story so here are some…

Robbish and Verish

Let me first introduce you to Verish and Robbish…

If you don’t understand it’s Vera ‘Very S**t” and Rob “Rubbish” nicknames! Why? Because those two are so nicely competing on whose in the family will be the first one to land Tantrum or backflip that I had to put a bit of oil on the water for the fire to grow!

But don’t take me wrong those two are awesome in the water! Soon they gonna be the Bonnie and Clyde of the channel! Big shout out for them!

Look at the below from Verish! :

Youhou

Then every week we have the faceplant winner and asmuch as this week it was Robbish himself last week was the Crazy flying man Mr Steve “The wine Taster Faceplanter”!!!

Faceplant winner

Then you have this crazy thing that happen 2 weeks ago! We were on our way to fill the tank of Rudi’s baby when we fall on this babe at the petrol station! Isn’t it crazy? A hot babe filling petrol in the middle of the desert?

Well Rudi was quick on this one and offer her to marry him and she said yes! Crazy isn’t it? Well congratulations!

Dolli pump

And to finish but unfortunately this is not a fairy tell but a true story… this is me wakesurfing… but when I wakeboard it’s not better

logo

Just got the news on my email:

“For the first time ever, and starting right after the Holy Month of Ramadan, Emirates Jiu-Jitsu will be introducing Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) classes.

Early next month, 56 Brazilian Black Belts will be arriving in Abu Dhabi to join the current group of instructors. Some of them will have MMA experience as they have fought in their native Brazil and will look to introduce the sport to Abu Dhabi.

You will have to be, at least, a Blue Belt in order to participate in MMA training.

More information will be available soon. Stay tuned!!

Regards,
Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Team

Well I won’t be blue belt before a while however I can’t imagine the level! 56 Brazilian Black belt? Brasil is invading Abu Dhabi!

T shirt in the emirates…

Ok in the Emirates the tee shirt that my friend from the Vinypushers love cannot be worn! In case you end up in the middle of the night after clubbing (and a few drink in the nose it seems) arguing about it you can finish in jail (See the group about it here)!

However a Tee Shirt with Tony Montana aka Scarface is on the first page of a magazine (that you can pick in the street) with quite a nice person on it isn’t it?

Tee

So having a tee shirt with an actor representing a drug dealer is better than wearing a tee against cancer with a half naked woman? You tell me… ;)
