TRIP<br />

Mozambique<br />

MOZAMB<br />

The first time I heard about Mozambique<br />

was in 2010. I was in Namibia<br />

for the record attempt and a South<br />

African rider was telling me about<br />

this amazing beach paradise with<br />

white sandbanks, perfect for freestyle.<br />

It had been at the back of my<br />

mind ever since. Although the civil<br />

war had been over for more than ten<br />

years (1992), Mozambique still had<br />

the reputation of being unstable,<br />

and there’s another thing that can<br />

be unnerving whenever anyone talks<br />

about Mozambique - the sharks! Nonetheless<br />

I took my courage in both<br />

hands and I decided to put aside any<br />

preconceived ideas about the place<br />

and go there. The images that I saw<br />

on the internet of this paradise with<br />

its magnificent beaches were what<br />

finally won me over.
