Enjoy as children! Barack Obama and Richard Branson fight in a water duel

Although he is back in his new residence in Washington, former President Barack Obama enjoyed a dream vacation after leaving the White House. First he headed to Palm Springs, California, where he was seen playing golf, and from there he and Michelle headed to the British Virgin Islands, invited by none other than eccentric British billionaire Richard Branson.

Once there, Barack had the opportunity to re-encounter with the water sports that - according to Branson counted in a post in the Web site of his companies Virgin - had been prohibited to him during the 8 years in which he was President. "During [those years] he did not have the opportunity to surf, enjoy water sports or do many of the things he loves," wrote the 66-year-old businessman and philanthropist. "So it was tremendous to be able to offer you the opportunity to learn how to do kite surfing."

"But I also wanted to learn how to do 'foilboard surfing,'" Branson added, referring to a new type of surfboard, which has a platform underneath and allows it to rise above the waves. "So I decided to challenge him: could Barack learn to do kite surfing before I learned to do foilboard?" The results are in the fun video Richard posted online.

Who was the winner on the last day of your vacation? Well no less than Barack Obama, who according to Branson, managed to advance 100 meters in his table, while he only reached the 50. But the victory did not come easy to the former President. According to Branson, Barack spent two days learning to drive the parachute or kite propulsion in the sand of the leg, "as if it were a child again."

"Then he began to do it in the water," noted the philanthropist, "standing up and getting used to it. Finally he was able to put the table on his feet and try. Since he was the former president, there was a lot of security around him, but Barack was able to relax and try. "

"As you can see in the video, Barack and I fell many times, but we kept trying again and again and made progress through the days," Branson said.

More striking than the falls are, in any case, the smiles of Obama and Branson, who seem to be having fun as teenagers.

The Obama returned to Washington on Thursday to begin the new phase of their lives in their $ 4.3 million mansion.
