2016 – ARICA CHILEAN CHALLENGE

ANOTHER BIG FINAL

As I arrive in Arica, Chile on June 2016, I feel confident and I want to enjoy every heat on the wave of El Flopo.
This wave is solid and regular, I really love riding on it.
After my victory at Arica in 2014 and my second place in 2015 after a memorable finale against Jared Houston, ZAF, I want to confirm a good position.
My quarter-final against Jeff Hubbard and my semi-final beating the Brazilian Eder Luciano lead me to the final.

Another South African on the top

I have the big pleasure to ride in final agains another talented South Africain rider, Ian Campbell.
And it seems like ZAF riders are hungry…
Ian wins after a very interesting final, I surf my best and so he does.
I am admirative and respectful for his combativity and this victory.
When the bells rings the end of the heat, we both congratulate each other with a sincere joy.
Pictures do not lie…

When I fly back to Europe, the 2016 APB World Tour program leads us to Portugal :
Sintra, Viana, Nazaré before the last step in Gran Canaria at El Fronton.
All hopes are allowed for scoring high and trying to keep on the upper steps of the 2016 World Tour ranking.

INCREDIBLE TUBES & GOOD VIBES

After twelve years long without any Bodyboarding Professional contest, Teahuppo welcomes us with the Sparkgreen Teahupoo Tahiti Challenge  in April-May 2016.

This majestic wave demands a big organization. All is ruled by the APB Team that takes care of any detail  for security, aquatic footages and live webcast.

I feel a big motivation  in front of  these good waves to ride. I want to pay tribute to my friends around there. Mauruuru !

2016 BRAZIL- Itacoatiara Pro

A mate on the podium

After my good entering in the comp, with my 2015 title in mind I want to go as far as possible in the board.  I am surprised and disappointed as I fail in semi-final. Anyway, the competition is as usual a success for the organizers and all peopole sitting down the Itacoatiara Elephant Mountain. I am glad to see Alex Uranga winning the event. He is a strong rider and he is a SNIPER team rider with me. So that I an proud to see his SNIPER board on the podium.

 Just once won’t hurt…

To be at the top level is really an extraordinary situation but you have to be humble enough to accept what happens. At the same time, you need to be strong enough to go ahead and project yourself into new victories.

MOTIVATION – Today is The Day

KEEP YOUR GOAL & TRAIN HARD
During my last trip in Australia in 2016, I spent long moments alone and I decided to train in any conditions.
Tyge Landa is an excellent film editor and he filmed my training in full nature with a brand new camera with a slow motion system…
Just don’t only ride waves but push your body to the limits. Bodyboarding is much more than riding, its a lifestyle, an art and a motivation to wake up every morning with the will to go further, harder and stronger.

2016-Teahupoo Tahiti Challenge APB Tour

TEAHUPOO BACK ON THE WORLD TOUR

After twelve years long without any Bodyboarding Professional contest, Teahuppo welcomed us with the Sparkgreen Teahupoo Tahiti Challenge  in April-May 2016.
This majestic wave demands a big organization. All is ruled by the APB Team that takes care of any detail ( security, action film, live webcast).
I feel a big motivation  in front these good waves to ride.

I keep so good memories in mind, even my failure  against  Jeff Hubbard – the winner of the contest.
It gives me more to learn with such an incredible rider : to be more offensive, to tempt aerial manoeuvres although you are the leader of the heat, even when you have the priority. I know that I will progress again and again. That is one of my motos : You can’t stop progress…

A tribute on my skin

Although I get only Top 13 on the comp,  I capilise on my pleasant journey in Tahiti. This island is a magical place where the ocean is a sovereign and the waves just amazing.
The island is a natural treasure and I feel attracted by all the French Polynesia islands.
I am lucky to stay at Mana’s home, with his wife and daughters, in an authentic Tahitian lifestyle.
Never forget :  Tahitian people are friendly,  nice, hospitable and I can’t wait to be back there for a new Teahuppo or for a trio, why not ?

I leave with some grey pearls in my pocket to offer to my beloved wife Malennhy and with a tatoo on my leg, another tribute to Tahitian islanders and waves.

Amaury Acadedmy – PUERTO RICO – March 2016

The courses take place in Puerto Rico, during four days, from the 16th to the 29th of March 2016.

I am luchy as I travel overthere with my wife Malennhy, who is a photographer, and our son Oliver who is 3 year-old.

My friend Jony Perez,  who is the local SNIPER boards distributor, organizes a complete course of bodyboard and more.
Warm up, stretching, you, nutrition advice, mental preparation, competition focus…
During 10 hours a day, we work all together. It is very intense, sportive and rewarding for the participants as for me.
Some funny moments in waterfalls are ideal to feel what « relax » means. Malennhy is inspiring us, as she is a yoga adept.
