Well, we did it again. We initiated two more people into wakeboarding, only this time, while we are down here in Brasil!

Gabriel took to wakeboarding like a, well, a fish to water!

And his smile says it all.

Hope everyone had a great Newtonmas and has a great 2008.

Feliz Ano Novo

Gotta respect a man who will break it down to the Banana Hammock for a sesh! Spread the stoke!

I guess that's the style down there...if that's how revealing the guys suit themselves for the water I could only imagine what the girls wear.

right on with the wakeboard stoke...

I took a guy out from Poland and got him out on the lake. He was sporting the Banana Hammock too. The next day when we were going to TSR I told him he has to wear full shorts.

But on the same point he went back to Poland and told everyone about wakeboarding and can't wait to come back and try it again. This time I will have a pair of boardshort as a present for him.

haha, that's funny Mike.

I'll pay you $20 bucks if you wear a speedo to TSR...it would have to be a crowded day though.

Well, it's obvious by the above posts that not many of you travel outside the U.S. You will find that our preference for board shorts (and yes, my preference on men as well) is definitely in the minority.

Remember people, an open mind is a terrible thing to waste.

And yes, the women here wear quite a bit less than us hypocritical puritanic Americans

(in other words, American men want to see the women in the barely-bikinis, just not their own sisters or daughters!)

Here, this is for you men out there...typical Brasilian bikini fashion

Any wakeboarder is a good thing...

Tchau

Louise, that is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
