While at the Mambo I saw one of the funniest tricks ever. A guy boosted, removed his board and placed it between his legs so that he was straddling it, he then put one hand on the bar and the other in the air, waving it around as if he was riding a bronco. He almost stuck the landing.
My guess is that it would be called a "rodeo" could it be the new General?
Anyone know who the rider was, and what it's called?

I imagine the consequences for future family would be drastic if it went wrong, lot of risk for a trick, but absolutely hilarious to watch.

So if you do a Rodeo but instead of doing the spin your hand in the air bit, pull a General salute instead, are you doing a Field Marshall or a Knight?

If you held up your board like a shield and made swordlike movements with your other hand would that be a Spartan, or just gay enough to be an Alexander the Great? The possibilities are endless.

I saw a couple of kites get trashed in the waves, maybe some lines got damaged there were a few contacts but not as many as you would think. Plenty of kites went down in the surf, but they escaped unscathed most of the time. The scene was dominated by Slingshot and Cabrinha kites this year, those two brand outnumbered all the other brands by at least 5/6:1
It looks hell busy from the beach, but when you are on the water and have been out there for more than 15 mins you realise there is some method to the madness, and you work out a place to kite.
Biggest hassle was a few kiters who had no idea what to do when approaching another kiter head on, it was the same few all weekend, nothing unusual really.
There were some of maniac poleboarders, a couple of them mowed me down while I was demonstrating how to not SUP. I later found out that it was a conspiracy hatched on the beach, they were both actually aiming for me and I thought it was an accident.
I know of at least 2 SUP boards that got bent/creased, I guess they are just do big that they can't withstand hitting the sand hard?

If I can kite around out there and not get in the way then anyone can! :-)

Yes, the rodeo General has been done and experimented with... It doesn't draw as much of a crowd....

Little brothers are currently experimenting with the Air Guitar....




Only people getting totalled at Mambo... Oh and I know Dustin split his Rev2 in half when he dropped it in the waves...
