Let me reverse a little here. It's been a year since the first day of my gig as the face of professional bodyboarding competition. It happened here on the Canary Islands for the Wild Wave Fronton Showdown. Aside from broadcasting live, I also had to intro and outro the highlight clips. Seamus (video guy), Ben (Red Bull dude) and I headed out to do our first highlight clip. We all agreed that we needed to end with a signature. We did a few things with my hands but it was a punch at the camera that we all agreed on. We went with it and that's how it all started.
Below is the first one that we did. I totally forgot about it until Caja (Canary Island cameraman) showed me the night I arrived. I must say, I'm a little embarred and grateful at the same time. Embarrassed because I looked like a total jackass. Low, if any, energy and this one thing that has solidified me in the bodyboarding world were very weak! Very weak! I'm grateful to know that I've come a long way. I appreciate all those that have supported me and the IBA World Tour. Now, compare and contrast:
Now compare to the one I did yesterday and let me know what you really think.
hahaha BBBOOOOMMM!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've come a long way, Manny. But as I told you when we bumped into each other in the Canaries, I've been invited to do a similar role in the portuguese Nationals and now I appreciate your work more than anyone. It's so f... hard. People can't understand what it's like to compress that much information in a speech, without fumbling it. I say it again. So hard. But you've come a long way and it's really a treat watching you now in highlight reels, introduction and stuff. Congrats and keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteRight on Manny. That first one was super weak haha. Now your BOOMING with authority. Good to see ya in the mix after all these years.
