Calm down mate, its just a bit of fun on a great weekend. It's not to be taken so seriously.

There is plenty more going on in the world that's worth getting fired up about.

I kite and I enjoy it. No affilliation to anything in the kitesurfing world. Makes life simple.

Reddog obviously doesn't know kiting... that's all 95% of "pro kiteboarders" do. (and it works ).

^^^ Leo rips - would rather watch him kite than pretty much anyone else I've seen.....

But he doesn't do himself any favours when he types anything. Put it down to a cultural difference.

A bit of mutual respect stops wars from starting.

Do people actually train for this comp and take it seriously ??? Isn't it about having fun , I was always told the best rider on the water is the one having the most fun ?? I didn't realise people went expecting to win . I sure there's a wave riding while doing spins rolls and board offs comp in Europe maybe try that ?? Would love to see how a dummy spit would go after one of those comps !! Ha ha I'm sure you'll be invited to them all with your skills !

Leo whatshisname has a tanty every year and it ain't nothin to do with culture.

Apart from the aerial ballet (which is more akin to comedy than nice to watch), I don't see his riding as being much different to your average wave kiter. Even I can get barreled at Lakey pipe.

Cue brazilnut video

Leo has a giant ego. It's nothing cultural. Delusions of grandeur!

OK maybe I'm wrong about cultural differences !

But I know how hard it is to try and communicate in another language - if I had that level of literacy ....... I'd go back to school!

Maybe the word "ego" doesn't exist in Brazil (Portuguese)? It's just the way they are??

How have you not all your teeth punched in? Lakeys is one of the easiest waves to surf in indo. Especially at 3 feet

OMG this is hilarious! Merimbula is all about having FUN! Catching up with old friends and making new ones, along with hanging out with like minded people who KNOWS how to have FUN!
Exactly what was said during presentation, they even made it obvious that one particular SUP team did not win as they were not all out having a good time on saturday night!

I have been sitting here with my popcorn for days FFN Funny...

Mambo is about having fun thats why overseas riders who compete at the Mambo ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT.

Leo Seriously Mate... PULL YA HEAD IN... Its embarrassing and I am starting to cringe.

I understand why the same guys are on the podium...

Case in Point when I was there Ben Wilson spent more time over a beer with me giving pointers than anyone...

Leo thats why he always wins HE IS NOT A DICK.

The part with the photos was good.

I presume, this day and age, this time of year, everyone is pretty busy. Why waste your precious time engaging in this nonsense?

How good is this thread. it's the best publicity for mambo????.
I've never been to mambo but the (volunteer) guys and girls put in countless hours of work to pull events like this off. Most donate money back into the local community, support local suppliers and spread the rest back to ALL the contestants. Usually it falls onto the same people that run these kind of AMATUER events unless they have a great committee. Testament to their success is their longevity. Their would be a massive pool of past contestants that would raise their glass in support of the event and the organisers.
Nothing personal Leo. I used to coach surfing years ago; here's three free tips
1. When someone bags you answer them with nothing or a smiley face and bash the **** out of the next lip you surf
2. Your skills are mad great, but the filming, editing, are letting you down in your clips. Team up with a young wannabe camera guy (not Alex) and tell your story in film. Go look at some of the latest short surfing clips for inspiration.
3. Don't bag the rare kite events or people for not putting your name on photos. If you don't like something, bite your forum tongue and approach it in a constructive adult way. Volunteer your time and ideas for making improvements, in person.
Good luck

But seriously, when will Mambo start spending some money on sponsoring this event again rather than crappy Big W adverts so we can call the Mambo, Mambo again.
