I came back from Hawaii four weeks ago, and I still didn't surf at the home spot in Rome. The wave forecast this summer in Italy are so bad, the ocean it's completly flat and there aren't any good news for the next week. I' m doing some other sports, just to be ready for the next big swell!
Keep calm and relax is the Italian rule of the summer 2013

Last weekend at Jimmy Lewis Rome Test Center I did the First Stand Up Battle of The Friends.
The organization of the contest was supported from Gabriele and Silvia that provide JL Sup boards, and from all friends that had partecipated at the sup battle.
At 10 am I had the briefing contest where they showed the format of the race.
There were two teams, Red and Blue, with 30 Sup riders that were ready to paddling in a crazy battle.
I was in the Red team with three girls Silvia The Shark Lady, Betty The Long Distance's Paddler and with some other guys.
The format was a relay race, the track was simple with only two turns, and the distance was just perfect for everybody.
The vibes that I could feel were so good, I was so proud of my friends that organized this event, and I had a lot of fun!
I did the first race versus Fabio, (my personal masseur) where I arrived behind him just for a second. At the second race I was paddling straight to drop Fabio, when I crashed his sup board and he fall off..ah ah ah...after that he tried to bring the tail of my sup board but he was swiimming too slow and he couldn't finish his tricky job ah ha ah!!!
I was stood up on the Sup with a big smile and I watched him that was swimming back to get his sup and paddle. I'm sure he drunk some salty water!! Of course I waited him just to be friendly and we paddling back to the beach. It was a great race.....thanks again Fabio!!
The Red team won the First Battle of The Friends 2013!!
I'm waiting for some good pictures from you guys to upload on my blog and to remeber this beautiful Sup battle!
- Stay tuned for the 2nd Battle of the friends -
