OK my friends… first, I just want to say something, All that I did or still do in my life, wasn’t thinking ever that could inspire some ones, that never was my intention, I do the things that I do first (and this is most people that know me opinion ) cuz I am Crazy, 2: Cuz windsurfing is more than my life for me (even when I am not that talented has Jason P. or R. Naish ) But with all respect, there is something that I do have about windsurfing “BOLS”.. -Sorry- but I can’t handle when I hear some body saying “Ohh yeaa… windsurfing is my hobby, it looks so nice!!!” Dude, if you don’t FEEELLL the windsurf has an extension of your body, If you don’t put names to your boards, If you don’t talk to your board when you are sailing at a rocket speed… Then I guess, yes… it most be just your hobby. But not your life. So, now that everybody knows that is not my intention being FUNNY or looks cool or “Radical”… Here is then, “THE SUBWAY STORY”.

So…,it tokes me some time but finally I convince my girlfriend to help me in my “Crazy” adventure,… and we went to the subway station here in Nostrand ave. Brooklyn (foto)

But not without pushing and kicking some asses and saying “SORRY!!!” more than 3000 times. We toke the Q train to Brighton beach (next to Coney Island) and for my surprise people was curious but really nice, in especial this little old man from Ukraine named Mike (I bet his real name was hard to pronouns) (foto)

But we also get agree that this is a blessed country, where freedom, dreams and opportunities can be really close to you.

But by a hard lesson I realize that 10 miles/h wind is not good at all for a 6.5 sail (that’s the problem with this country,that just for fallow an old costume, still is using a very inexactly way to measure) !LET GETS METRICSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

So, I also realize that if you want to ride on the subway with yours gears, is not a problem, MTA guys react really calm and not even curious (subway on NYC?????, I bet the saw already everything) But you are going to need at least some one else to help you, cuz by yourself is going to be impossible. So Pepper also help caring the sail (the girlfriend) (foto)
