This is Adur and Alba. Alba now sells Women’s Italian Boots back in Spain and Adur remains to be a legend. These are true statements.

You might not know who Adur Letamendia is. But I do, and therefore I feel lucky. Originally from the Basque country in one of the most lovely countries in the world Adur came to America to write a research paper on american surfing. He lived with us for four months and became our brother. Brotherhood is created through action and memory. Well we definitely had both of those throughout his stay. Adur taught us of Basque cooking, the spanish world cup team and tried to iron out our crooked spoken spanish. We taught adur about atomic elbows and Billy’s Sandwiches. Nadie Hace eso!

Dane and Adur are twins. Tom Petty look-a-likes

Upon Adur’s leaving our friends came together and threw Adur a fair well bash. They called it Adur-a-Palooza. Marcos (adur’s alter ego) came out after numerous games of flip cup with beer and one mystery round of tequila. Legendary! We missed the festivities due to being in ZAF which breaks my heart but the photos of the madness brought me to the action.

ATOMIC ELBOWS (N)- The art of blasting down the door of the roomate who did not go out with the crew and piling in as many people to the room and jumping on sorry roomate piledriving elbows into their body. If roomate has girlfriend, they too will be punished with atomic elbows…guilty by association.

Adur loved Atomic elbows, he became the mascot of atomic elbow giving. This is a self explanatory voicemail that he left for our roomate Ian after a big night that he had before leaving. The passion. The emotion. The ADUR!
