PARTY TIME
That night Airton had this little sparkle in his eyes as this was his celebration dinner. He realized the BCWT rules are interesting and you must play the game, so celebrated and partied like there was no tomorrow! As the dinner transcended into the open air of Los Roques nightlife, with music blasting and crazy karaoke, this is where Gollito & Airton stepped up their game. Gollito put the microphone to his mouth and started screeching some horrendously out of tune lyrics from Bob Marley. He didn’t care, as he knew the person who had the most fun wins! He pressures DeAction Man to sing one of his songs, he hesitantly takes the microphone, sputters out “Action! Action!! & More Action!! The brain smiles & life sings, happy rings & we dance!!!” Gollito grabs the mic back, and sinks into the couch and he continues through the night singing at ease. Diony dabbles into the mix but he has to focus on maintaining the flow of the competition. The night is starting to get energized, and the crew are enjoying themselves, but they are a little tired from the expression session. This is where Airton pulls his famous “Dormir” move, he says he going to sleep; deAction Man & Diony follow his lead, not knowing Airton returns to the disco along with Gollito and enjoys a full night of partying, having a lot of fun racking up the points.
CHILD’S PLAY
Come the last day and Diony wasn’t finished yet and knew he needed more points. Diony had been training all the kids from the village to windsurf and today was graduation. It seemed like the whole community had congregated around this huge pond that bordered the village, the airport and green fields. It’s perfect for learning to windsurf for the kids. This is the place for an Organic Tourism Project in partnership with the local businesses and people to create healthy minds and a safe and prosperous community. This is what makes Los Roques so unique, vibrant locals and good vibes emanating through the sand.
DeAction Man was also trying to rack up points; he was busy painting the BCWT plaques for the closing party. The BCWT seed was planted, DeAction Man’s tool is his colourful art and spoken words to stimulate positive change. The BCWT logo signifies humanity and harmony within the community and rows of the BCWT trophies adorned with DeAction Man’s distinctive mahi mahi (fish) logo were ready to go. It’s time to determine the BCWT World Championship Los Roques winners with votes from all the media and BCWT pro riders. This is the time for the last bit of smack talk to persuade people to vote for you!
AWARD TIME
It’s 9:30 pm and the votes are in and the whole island is waiting for the BCWT riders at the island’s square. They arrive to a huge crowd surrounding the podium. Much respect to Diony, he pulled off the BCWT World Championships in Los Roques and the related Organic Tourism Project by motivating the whole island to embrace this concept. This was his last act, and with the mic he took control of the show, whipping the crowd into a frenzy with his words and throwing away prizes.
The coveted Beach Culture plaque awaited all the competitors. DeAction Man’s belief is giving is living and his biggest move for the event was giving. He gave away his personal strapless board to local Eniel for kitesurfing and a sail to Oscar for windsurfing. As a visiting traveller, this was one of the most beautiful islands he ever visited because of the warmth & culture of the people and the conditions for windsurfing, surfing, SUP’ing and kiteboarding.
