Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter ThreeKenzie soon ended the call to Mira and had a grin on her childish face. Wendy and Romeo also having the same grin. The group of wizards and cats turned around and started walking back to Clover where they should meet up with Gray, Natsu, and Lucy."Kenzie," A small voice said as it flew its way on top Kenzie's light brown hair. The lightning mage smiled as she patted the cat's head and asked "what's up buddy?" Leaf yawned before answering, "What if Natsu and Lucy don't become a couple? What if they start hating each other?""Don't worry my little green friend, it'll work. Since I didn't plan on it being night and all, it gives us more time to push these two into a relationship!"Romeo went out a loud sigh from his mouth, "Knowing if it's going to be night or day is kind of important…"The brown haired turned and glared at the boy, who only smirked back. Wendy sighed, knowi
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter TenLucy's POV:I stormed my way back to the cabin that Natsu had showed me/the place we were staying for the night. To be honest, I didn't really mean to get mad at Natsu; I should have known he wouldn't think things like that. I mean, have you met the guy before, he's not that much of the romance type I guess, even though this place is pretty.Soon after I got there, I opened the door and locked it. I sat by a chair that was next to the window and watched for that pink haired idiot to come walking up to the door.But that didn't happen…He did show up, just at the top of path that led to the house, and he stared at the house. I gulped as I watched him pace back and forth, thinking about something by the looks of it. I had to say, for Natsu to be thinking this hard about something, he must really care…Natsu's POV:I walked back and forth a few times, thinking about what to say to Luce once I knocked on the door. It could go many wa
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter OneIt was a normal, Friday morning. The birds sang their lovely morning songs and the sky was a blue that made you smile whenever you looked at it. All was peaceful this…"WAH! WHAT THE HECK NATSU! GET OUT OF MY BED!"Or… was peaceful until Lucy Heartfilia woke up to see her pink haired partner still sleeping next to her, a little blue cat on top his head."Wha? Oh, mornin' Luce!" Natsu said, rubbing his still heavy eyes."Hey Lucy, mind keeping it down, I'm trying to sleep here." Happy said, also rubbing his eyes with his little blue paws.Lucy groaned as she got up from her bed and stormed into the bathroom."Those idiots! Don't they know they shouldn't just barge in my house whenever they want!?" The blonde mage yelled within her head as she started to brush her teeth.(A good 30 minutes later…)When she was finished getting ready, Lucy left the bathroom and saw the two still sleeping in her be
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter NineLucy's POV:"Really Natsu? Did you really have to cover my eyes on the way here?""Yup! It's a surprise silly!"I groaned as Natsu dragged me through the forest just after lunch. He made me pack for a night and everything! And he didn't even let me walk on my own, instead he cover my eyes with both his hands, pulling me closer to him as we walked. To be honest, it felt nice, being so close to him. I mean, he gives off heat so I was pretty warm."Alright Luce," Natsu said as we stopped walking, my eyes still covered, "We're here.""Will you move your hands now?" I asked, gulping as I heard the roar of water nearby."Alright then." And he uncover my eyes. At first, I tried to block the bright sun from my eyes, but as my eyes adjusted to the light, I stared at the sight in aw."Wow…" We stood on the edge of a waterfall, the water rushing passed us. I turned around and
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter FourWith her pajamas in hand, Lucy walked into the bathroom her and Natsu had to share. Checking one last time on the dragon slayer sleeping on the couch, she smiled and closed the door.The blonde turned on the hot water and once it was ready, set herself in the tub. She stared at the ceiling, relaxing a bit from the long day she'd had. With Kenzie saying that all of them need to go on job together and then leaving… then coming back, it's a lot on ya! Then that got Lucy thinking…"Why? I mean, so what if Romeo and Wendy were on a mission together, she still had her other friends she could go with. Like Kat and Crystal, Lily and Piper, and Leaf would have Wave to hang out with; she still had options other than me and Natsu." Lucy thought to herself, she always was the smart one of the group. "Then again… this is Kenzie I'm talking about. The girl that, just the other day, thought that every holiday had an eve like Christmas." S
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter SixNatsu's POV:I stood there for a long time, thinking. Sometime, Kenzie when off to sit down somewhere, but I didn't care!"Ugh, Natsu, I'm hungry! Can we go home now?!" She whined, but I shrugged her off.Do I like her? That question rang throughout my head."NATSU!" I jumped, Kenzie pouting in front of me."W-what?!""I. Want. Food. Let's. Go." And she grabbed my hand and dragged me to our home.)()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()(First thing I did was go straight to my messy room. Stepping over the empty pizza boxes and cups, I threw myself on my bed, lying down and staring at the white ceiling."So… I'll just order some pizza then…" I heard the door close and some footsteps out in the hallway. But that didn't matter right now, what did was…Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia. The girl whose house I almost always sleep at. Be it the floor or bed, I'm there. Every mo
Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter Five"Er… Come in I guess then?""Thank you Natsu-san!" The sky dragon slayer smiled as she followed the group into the one bedded room. Natsu smiled back to the girl and returned to the bed he *cough (and Lucy) cough* slept in last night, taking a sit on the edge."Hold on, let me grab some clothes or something…" Gray re-left the room. Kenzie gave the other two wizards a wink and they went to talk to Lucy. With a smirk, the lightning wizard walked over to her older brother and took a sit next to him."Oi bro!" She greeted, smiling her adorable smile. "Did you and Lucy have fun last night?"The fire dragon slayer blushed and frowned at the girl, crossing his arms. "We went right to bed after you guys left…""Oh really? Well did ya sleep well last night then?" The brown haired girl watched her bro's face turn almost as red as his own fire, sweating a little. Gotcha, she smirk
NaLu Christmas Week - GiftsChristmas Eve - Natsu's and Happy's HouseHappy watched his dragon slayer partner walk to each side of the room in a rush, his scarf blowing in the small breeze he creates when walking so fast."Natsu… Are you okay?" The cat's high pitched voice asked as he tiled his head to the side. Natsu paused and looked at the blue exceed, eyes wide and sweat dripping down his face."Okay? Heh, did you just ask me if I was okay?!" The dragon slayer's voice boomed, making the cat shiver and lean back. Natsu threw his hands to the back of his head, sighing and trying to cool off after seeing Happy's reaction. "Sorry buddy… Just a little short on time to get something.""Short on time? What does that mean?""Well… You know how it's Christmas Eve and tomorrow is Christmas, right?" The cat nodded, letting the pink haired wizard continue. "That's the thing… I want t
Camp Fairy Tail - Chapter 1Chapter One:This is Going to be a Long Summer…"Bye Lucy!""No, wait! I changed my-" A blonde haired woman started, waving her only free arm back and forth before she was cut off by the very car that brought her here, "…mind…" She sighed as she turned around, seeing a group of girls around her age come walking up, some boys just staring in the distance.The smallest of the group of girls smiled and she was the first to say something. "Hi there! Are you the new counselor?"The blonde nodded, "Yeah… This is Camp Fairy Tail… right?" Some the other girls giggled."Hehe, I already like you! I'm Levy by the way…" And Levy started introducing all the girls, each giving the blonde a smile and a small wave. "So what's your name?"She smiled, "I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia. And it's nice to meet you all!"Lisanna smiled as she pointed over

How do you fall for someone's voice?{What's meant to be will always find a way}Lucy paced her house, distress written on her features. Oh why did she have to lose her phone? Right when she gets a cute guy's number she just had to lose it! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid-"Ah..Lu-chan?" Levy's hesitant voice called her. Lucy turned her head away from the wall she was previously banging it against, rubbing her temple gingerly."Yeah Levy-chan?" She moaned, feeling the swell. Great, just fantastic-"Are you sure you lost your phone?" Levy's voice rang in the room again and Lucy furrowed her eyebrows. Levy was staring into her pocketbook, confusing Lucy more."What kind of question is that? Of course I lost my phon-"Her voice died out when she heard the vibrations ec
A MiraxFreed fanfic pt. 1 "Mira! Three more over here!" "Coming right up guys!"As Mira left the bar to serve the Raijinshuu team, Lucy leaned her head in the center of the group. Gray, Juvia, Kenzie, Katana, Lily, Piper, and Crystal leaned into listen. Natsu would've listened if he wasn't napping. "Alright listen up," Lucy started. "Since Mira has done so much for Nalu and Gruvia, I think it's time for us to set her up with Freed." She looked over at the snoring Natsu sweetly while Gray and Juvia held each other's hands. "But we've already tried to come up with cute couple names!" the younger girls all complained at the exact same time. An akward silence, then Piper piped up. "Well let's go over some ideas again."Nobody said anything. Mira walked up to the quiet group. "You guys are strange," she giggled. "One minute, all loud and obnoxious,then so cool and collected the next! So what are we talking about now?" "Pshh, whaaat?" Lily stammered- being the worst liar of everyo
PerfectionPerfection~I might not be perfect but she's so perfect for me~Lucy smiled, sticking her blue tongue out at Natsu before giggling slightly at his expression. He stuck his tongue back out childishly, earning an embarrassing snort giggle from her. Lucy turned bright pink, bowing her head slightly with embarrassment. Natsu smirked, his eyes filled with amusement."Are you gonna finish your snow cone or what?" He asked her after a minute, saving her from further embarrassment. She took another lick before puffing her cheeks out and blowing air out lazily.Without warning, Natsu stretched over and bit the top of the snow cone off, devouring it in one bite. Lucy's eyes widened in shock, processing what happened."Natsu!" She shrieked, blushing again. She hid her face by turning away, trying everything in her power to keep herself from exploding with embarrassment."You're so cute when you blush Lucy." Natsu said without thinking, a large grin set on his features. Lucy s

"Whatever you say, Captain Lucy," he replied. They walked out the door, hand in hand. And now. . .As Gray and Juvia walked down the stone road toward the guild, they noticed a moving heap of luggage. "Gray-sama! Erza's back!" Juvia told her boyfriend. "Nice observation. It's quite hard to miss, her luggage cart," Gray replied. "Let's go then."The two jogged up to Erza. She turned her head towards the couple and stopped walking. "Gray, Juvia. What's up?" Erza asked with a slight smile."Welcome back Erza-chan. Juvia and Gray-sama have something we need to tell you," Juvia told the S Class wizard. "We are passing on the plan for Freera," Gray said. Erza looked a little confused. "Freera?" she asked. "Oh sorry, Erza-chan!" Juvia cried. "Freera is the name--""Natsu came up with for Freed and Mira," Gray finished
NaLu- Valentines DayValentines day, February 14. Most see it as the day of love, others as an excuse for public displays of affection, and others, just a drag.However no one could deny that it was a day when people everywhere confess to the people they hold "special", and Fairy Tail was no exception.Pink was sprinkled almost everywhere (thanks to Mirajane, who rendered it "imperative" and "completely mandatory"). People were busy handing out chocolates to one another, even people like Gajeel, the usually quiet Iron Dragon Slayer."Levy.""Hm?" Levy lifted her head from her book of spells, oddly enough, on how to win someone's heart.Fitting, Gajeel thought, as he extended his hand out to the Solid Script Mage."Here," he said, turning his head away a fraction in an attempt to hide the blush on his cheeks.He dropped the contents of his hand into hers.Levy slowly opened her hands, and as she saw what was inside them her face lit up."Thanks, Gajeel!" She smiled at him, her cheeks tinted a pink co
NaLu Week - Extra Prompt - SleepNatsu jumped through the window to Lucy's apartment to see the blonde tossing and turning in her sleep. Her face was scrunched up and it looked like she was in pain. Natsu knew she was having a nightmare, and that they were getting worse and worse each night. She would wake up crying and sweating and he hated seeing his best friend like that. He just wished it would stop and Lucy would be normal again, even if her normal self was a little weird.xLucy was walking through the town one night, accompanied by Plue, one of her celestial spirits. It was a peaceful night, and Lucy decided it would be nice to go for a little stroll. She had arrived from a mission earlier that day and it was nice to finally have some time to herself.She talked to the little dog with the coned shape nose, while Plue just nodded eagerly. Lucy wondered if he actually understood what he was saying, and giggled to herself for the funny thought of what it would be like if the spirit actually could talk. She r
NaLu fan fictionLucy stood awkwardly by the walls of fairy tail. The fairy tail ball had not been very fun for her yet. She was originally talking to Levy, but Levy went off with Gajeel. She watched everyone dancing. She look to the opposite side of the room. Gray was asking Juvia to dance. Juvia cried and excepted his offer. "Hmmm, who could I dance with

sure." Lucy stammered. Natsu took Lucy's hand and Lucy put her hand on his shoulder. They danced in the big group of other dancers. Lucy noticed some people. She saw Juvia and Gray, Erza and Jellal, Levy and Gajeel, also, Wendy and Romeo. Lucy looked at Natsu. She saw him looking at her . She blushed and looked away. Then she noticed Natsu hadn't stepped on her feet once. "Umm, N
Princes and DragonsFriends help you find your prince, best friends kidnap him and bring him to you.Dedicated to TheLostHope because she's a really awesome person! and we shared feels xD{Be my baby, and I'll look after you}Lucy sighed to herself as she stared at her scrapbook, a depressed aura hanging around her.Why? Why her? Why did this curse be sent onto her?Why did she have to crave a relationship so badly?Is it because I'm a girl? Lucy thought, her nose screwing up at the thought. Erza didn't seem to have the same craving―though then again, this was Erza she was talking about."Hiya Luce!""Aye~!" Two voices rung clearly, two voices that aren't supposed to be here...She thought, her eyebrow already beginning to twitch."What are you two doing here―" She turned around, ready to spit at them both and give Natsu a good 'Lucy Kick!' when she noticed they were nowhere to be found.And then she heard it.The slight opening of...of...?―oh no.

Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter TwoKenzie sighed as she put the card back in her pocket. The door swung open and Natsu walked in her light blue room, his normal grin on his face."There you are!" He said, ruffling her hair, "I was looking all over for you!"The lightning mage sighed, "No you didn't, I was here the whole time."Natsu blinked a few times at the girl before ruffling her hair again. "Whatever, Lucy said she'd go on the job with us!" Kenzie kept the smirk to herself after what her brother said."Really? Cool! Maybe we can keep most the money this time!""Yeah! And have a party for doing so!"…"What's with you and parties? You want to have one every weekend!""What? We're busy people; we never get to chill really." Again, the little dragon slayer sighed. She waved him off and sat down on her fluffy bed."Just go pack… And be sure to bring a paper bag.""Alrig

There is a complete answer to this. If you have an image with any commercial value at all, don't put it on the net any more than you would pin a print to a public notice board. Unless you don't mind it being purloined.
The orphan aspect is a red herring. As has been said, if someone removes the exif and copyright information or stamp and publishes it on their site, it is from that point on an orphan.
You could argue that the person who steals it and uses it for their own purpose has not used due diligence but what does that mean? To establish whether due diligence was used or not requires a lawyer and a court.
How will any normal photographer justify spending hundreds or thousands of pounds on a lawyer to prove that a picture which would have sold for a few quid has been nicked? It's out of proportion.
The message of this bill long term is, if you don't want your work stolen, don't display it publicly in a commercially useful form. It's common sense, anyway.
Using that logic you may as well close this site down now.....if you don't want to be mugged don't go outside blah blah blah
Theft should never be excused in this way.
Quote: if you don't want to be mugged don't go outside blah blah blah
That has always been the case with the internet and always will be, bit it is not really the concern that people have in this case. The proposed law is intended to simplify use of images that have no owners but the danger is that it offers a defence to people who knowingly take a copyrighted image, or can't be bothered to do proper checks on ownsership before using it.
Quote: Using that logic you may as well close this site down now.....if you don't want to be mugged don't go outside blah blah blah
Theft should never be excused in this way.
I'm not excusing it, I'm talking about reality. A person who puts a picture with financial value in a public place is liable to have it taken. What I said was, if you don't want that to happen either don't put it there or not in a commercially usable publishable form.
How does that excuse theft? I really don't blah blah blah, I try to think about what I write before posting it.
What you are saying amounts to 'this shouldn't happen'. So what? it does. It cannot realistically be stopped and this new law will facilitate it.
I know there is a tiny risk of being mugged when I go out. I take that risk knowingly. I do not don a solid gold Rolex and pin it to my lapel. I should be able to but would you?
I recall a time when it was clear that digital photography would one day be the norm and there were some 'proffesional' photographers who moaned and whined about replacing expensive equipment and, even on this site, were told to adapt or die and 'get with the times' and isnt great that we 'enthusiasts' can more easily join the paid brigade.
Welcome home.
The big problem is that it's so easy to "orphanize" an image by just by stripping the exif data. The image can then be used quite legally after putting a few pence into a government kitty. The legitimate owner gets nothing unless he/she notices the pic has been used and makes a claim that will probably cost more in admin expenses than it yields in fees.
One RPS colleague does high-end aerial photography and he's worried because it costs him a lot of money to create his images and he has to sell them for a high price to cover his costs. He doesn't want people to be able to use his work for a few pence in the pound so he's relocated his business to Germany.
I thought the UK was a signatory to the Berne Convention.
How sad... The more you work, the less you get. The less you work..the more you get. Where is the logic in that!??

The Metro article this morning dislikes the rights grab http://metro.co.uk/2013/04/29/twitter-users-stripped-of-rights-to-own-snaps-3698502/
One quote - "As metadata showing who uploaded photos is routinely stripped out by Facebook, Twitter and Flickr, companies can hijack the pictures and honestly claim their origin was impossible to trace."
It still suggests to me that news agencies can almost get rid of their photo reporters and crowd source a handful of twitter or FB images to report on popular events without paying them anything.
It can only mean that the gov is making laws to give away what most people did not think they had for the benefit of a few organisations.
See more - http://www.stop43.org.uk/
the Intellectual Property Office said: The powers are intended to remove unnecessary barriers to the legitimate use of works, while preserving the interests of rights holders.
Does this says if its tricky to find an owner i can keep anything i find.
If Facebook et al is stripping EXIF etc is this not the same as laundering money or handling stolen goods if its then passed to another party?
Will ephotozine and facebook look like this soon:
part of a pic from Getty and one from the sun looked up today.
Quote: It still suggests to me that news agencies can almost get rid of their photo reporters and crowd source a handful of twitter
To a point. But recently, when the accident happened with the balloon trips at Luxor, I had some personal library stuff which I regarded as holiday snaps. I uploaded a couple to my agent and did nicely from The Guardian and a few American publications.
The difference between a guy with an iPhone and a photo reporter is that the reporter know what is news and what he has that is relevant to it and the guy with iPhone doesn't. If I contact my agent about something, he knows that I have track record and understand the media and what they look for and I wouldn't bother him (them) unnecessarily.
I'd wager than many photographers here have better and more relevant pictures of Luxor ballooning than I do. But I know who to contact and what they want. That was my lifetime's work.
Ask me to cover a wedding and I'd be at a loss.
News agencies will always need professionals. It's just that the professionals have to work harder, learn more, be faster than the handfulls on Twitter.
Look at it another way. I go to see music gigs. Do I pay to see people who say on Twitter that they are great musicians? No, I pay to see people with a track record, who have done the work and paid the dues.
Photography is unique in that a person with a camera can imagine that if they buy the same camera as Cartier-Bresson, Don McCullin whomsoever, they can produce images as good as that person's. Who believes that if they buy a Fender Stratocaster they can play like Eric Clapton except an idiot?
We can all get lucky sometime as some twitter poster can. But it is rare and any news organisation that trawls Twitter for its material will soon find that using professionals is faster and cheaper.
There's no point bringing party politics into it, New Labour fluffed around delaying the issue for several years, then rammed through the Digital Economy Bill, to which the description "Ill thought out, hurried through and not one of them has any idea of what the result will be" would be very apt.
What the current government needs to do rapidly is bring legislation up to date for the current era, regardless which party it is, and whichever party will get the same diverse criticisms from all interested factions.
This looks to have more potential than previous foul ups on both sides of the Atlantic. The problem is the regulations are not detailed, the upside is they can be altered rapidly in line with changing technology. The question is, how to make sure it's done right. Something of this sort is going to happen eventually, it's a question of when and how, not whether, and we may as well stop faffing about and get it done.
Jack All Tog mentions Alamy. It will be interesting to see what protection Alamy will give to its contributors. If it is insufficient to stop theft of images, Alamy may as well shut down its business now.
Quote: . A person who puts a picture with financial value in a public place is liable to have it taken.
Does the Alamy web site count as a 'Public Place'? It is available to anybody who signs up, photographer or purchaser so I wonder does the signing up then make it a private place? If it does then the same applies to EPZ.

We have eaten here several times and not yet had anything but great food, drink and service. The view out to Bunaken and Manado Tua is great and if you sit out at the water front you can enjoy a lovely sunset with an ice cold beer!
Very nice location with a beatiful view on the sea, Manado Tua and Bunaken Island. Also a view on mount Lokon. Sitting outside you never get tired of the view! The food is delicious and fresh! Most evenings live music. Good atmosphere and friendly staff!
good food, drink too ... sometimes the waiter rather indifferent and hostile. but the essence of the food is good and the price is not bad
We were never rushed into ordering and had drinks (ice cold pitchers of Heineken as no other beers available) and fresh juice then leisurely ordered food which came hot and as we had requested although we went through one or two Menu options which were not available - a decent live band was playing which may have been overpowering had...
Located near the water with outdoor bar and seating, serving food and all kinds of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended!
Food is very good with amazing place and the hospitality of the resto employee.
If you visit to Manado don't fotget to feel your own experience at the club manado
Graet atmosphere in manado city with a very good assortmen of liquor but a limited choice of food. Go there for few drinks!
I've read reviews this place was expensive...some backpackers should stick to buying drinks from convenience stores and drinking on their steps. Food was good for the price, drinks were standard, service prompt and a great location. Good for Manado.
Diving Bunaken was the reason to visit Manado. We stayed the first 2 days at the remote Luley resort which had an excellent cook. Looking for more action we moved to Manado which must rank as one of the worst places in Asia. Taking your recommendation we visited the Club restaurant which has a very lovely setting by the ocean,...
If you look for the cozy place to enjoy sunset in Manado, The Club is the answer. Feel the fresh beach air and beautiful scenery of sky, sunset with your favorite drink.... hmmm so comfortable. Enjoy the live music In Wednesday and Saturday night, you can hang out with your friend.

Had fancier bigger mount first but broke from all the use. I like to tilt often and place straight when guests are over. This does job perfectly. About an inch more off the wall than prior model but I'm probably only one who noticed any difference.

Thaddeus Wicki, mental health services supervisor at the Perris Clinic of the Riverside County Mental Health Department will speak at a May 1 meeting of the Mt. San Jacinto Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Health.
Wicki will talk about a model for working with the mentally ill that involves the whole family, including not only immediate and extended family members but anyone who is significant to the person needing the mental health services.
Support and reconnection with others plays a significant role in the recovery process. Treatment plans that are a collaborative effort among professionals and loved ones can result in longer lasting results and a lessening of stress for all concerned, a NAMI news release states.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at the Hemet Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 27025 Girard St. The general meeting is preceded by support groups for peers and family members from 5:30 to 7 p.m. For more information, call 951-765-1850.

Exactly as Ordered
Storybook Ending Save the Date Magnets The magnets were beautiful and of good quality. The accompanying card added a really nice touch. My only complaint is that the envelopes are thin enough that you can read through them.
Look Great!
Modern Chalkboard Save the Date Magnets These were easy to customize and arrived quickly after ordering. I purchased the matching return address labels and envelop stickers as well as the magnet holder which allowed me to add hotel information as well. Looking forward to sending them out and keeping one for our fridge :) Would recommend them...I wish there was an invitation package that matched them!
Wonderful Save-the-Date
Modern Honeycomb Lace Save the Date Magnets I loved my save-the-date! I went with a light blue background color with our engagement picture. We went with the wording that was already set with the save-the-date. I was very happy with how high of quality the magnet was. I am so happy with my save-the-date and have received so many compliments on them.
Love them!

F-One Pads & Strap Platinum Pro Edition (Pair)Probably the most comfortable combo Strap / Pad on the market. The pads are in general difficult to design because they must fit all types of feet. They must ensure the best connection with your board to have the best feel possible while riding, and absorb the impacts. With the straps, the pads must lock your feet in the ideal position. To obtain the highest quality pads, we have chosen an injected process that permits various forms and densities. A unique process that allow to generate all possible forms while picking the best EVA foam density. Because a pad, it's those two essential things: a form and a foam. The F-ONE strap is fully adjustable to the size and shape of the foot and brings great comfort with a multilayer of different EVA density and its neoprene coating. The Straps Lock F-ONE facilitate the general installation because they are locked in independently from the strap. The straps lock are designed to give the strap the ideal angle and shape.

F-ONE MITU MONTEIRO PRO MODEL 2015This pro model Mitu MONTEIRO is a first time for F-ONE. He possesses a great understanding of wave kitesurfing and Surfing. He was completely involved in designing his own board line, while staying in tuned with F-Ones philosophy that boards should be high performance but also versatile. Mitu has always favored longer boards but the new compact outline with its round nose allows the board to be more compact while maintaining the stability of a longer one. While throwing freestyle tricks with a surf board, a shorter wider design with a little more floatation makes executing and landing tricks easier. This is why the boards are a little wider to give the rider a compact board that is shorter and more responsive, stable and accessible. The hull is shaped with a deep single concave all the way to the fins, this guarantees early planning and a smooth acceleration for freeriding or in surf. The concave also absorbs the chop while riding. A lot of work went into developing the New Camel deck : It lowers and stabilizes the heel of the surfer and lock its arch on a rounded center line. It improves stability, maneuverability and increases the rider's board control in any conditions. Mitu's board line is innovative and unique in the sense that it was designed for strapless kitesurfing from the nose to the tail. Mitu rides the same board on flat water, small onshore waves, extreme offshore conditions and just free surfing. He does it all on the same board on the challenging spots of his home island in cabo Verde at a level we can all only dream of. All the Mitu Monteiro Pro Models are in a tri fin setup to make the boards glide faster and to make them as light as possible for freestyle tricks.
