According to tradition, The Body and Brain Festival takes place every first weekend of August
At the beach "Paal 17" on the island Texel.
Year after year the festival attracts more people who participate,
and/or watch the demonstrations and workshops
of the Champions, Top athletes, Coaches and Trainers.
It is a pleasure to watch how many people, either on their holiday
or residents of Texel, venture in an experiment of one of the many programmes offered.
And all the optimistic feelings of all those people,
create a lovely positive atmosphere,
Texel’s 3 R’s: "Rust, Ruimte en Respect" Tranquillity, Space and Respect.
Yes, especially respect, that is what the participants
of the Oriental Martial Arts Demonstrations show their opponents.
after all,..... It takes 2 to Tango.
Our guardian: The Thinker (sculpture of Rodin) watches with satisfaction,
he indeed suggested: A healthy mind fits my body like a glove.
I am an experienced “paddler”,
you have to be here, if you haven’t been here at the world record “paddling,
you are not one of us!
One of the highlights of the festival
is that we celebrate the healthy mind with our World Record attempt: “paddling”.
