< br>Hope you're all getting some saltwater through your systems!happy surfing

hey, you're making me wanna go back home. Missing the phili

nice shots!

cool!

Ah, Mill... Your breaking my heart. Home is where the hut is.

I feel your pain Jerry!

hi mill..

saw the pix of the trashed/painted boards.. they're preety kool... hope 2 be there when you come here and do all those stuffs again... do you accept apprentices.. heehee..

heya shadow glad you liked the boards.Wasnt in Manila for very long,but I would have liked to have made some more boards up!next time yeah ...only doing this for fun right now!

hei mill...

you do them just for fun and you do them real good.. what more if it's not just for fun? i'd really like to see now you do it.. i wanna customize my board to my own design... i'd like to design it with tribal stuffs... like those tribal tatts... specifically, the tribal phoenix design... hope i'd learn some from you..

cheers to your right brain!

aww thanks man! its not that difficult to put art on your board.Phoenix tribal designs are HOT too!!

All you have to do is sand down your board with some medium coarse sandpaper,just so it roughens up the surface a bit so the paint adheres to the surface better.Then,prob the best way to put the design on is to draw the design up yourself and freestyle directly on the board or photocopy some designs and tweak them to your own style and then transfer them onto the board.You can do that by the old technique of like hmmm...rubbing lead pencil on one side of the design then rubbing the design onto the surface of the board so the lead leaves a faint outline for you to work with.Did that make sense??haha.Or you can make hand cut stencils which is probably the most easiest cos all you need is spray paint and stencil.Use Krylon spray paint or any other automotive paint/street graff sprays/acrylics.When its dry and youre happy with it,theres some spray on lacquer that you can buy at automotive places which will protect the design.It wont wont stay on as long as doing the design directly onto freshly shaped foam then being glassed,but it'll still look fab!

I hope this helps you out a little!!but for sure when Im back in town Id be up for helping you artsyfy your board

haha...pity the left side of my brain is permanently dead

left brain dead?

heehee... you mean to say you're not the one writing all these forum stuffs err... where in the brain does our wrist control come from hehe..

i wonder how you'd look like when i see you assuming your left brain is dead... hehehe.. how'd you surf like that

anyway, i just bought my board... i'm gonna have second thoughts if i were to sand it up just to place the design since it did cost me to buy it... maybe when it tasted its scratches or a lot of dings then i'll be able to give it a shot.

cheers!

the right side has learnt to adapt to the laziness of the left,so its doubled its workload..hehe crazy

yeh,maybe it would be better if you waited till it was a little less precious!Once its all mangled up you can do whatever you please with it

happy surfing anyways!

hehe..

thanks bro.. err.. sis.. err.. whatever..
have a great surfing there, too... if there's any... (what am i saying?) my brain's twisted right now... don't even know which is the left side and which is the right side...

shaka!

I havent been surfing for the past 3months ,still got another 3/4months to go...there hasnt been much surf anyways,so..it's all good .But summer's slowly creeping its way in and the waters warmer now,thank god!I heard theres been some really nice waves coming in on the eastern side of the phils.

hello millz,

yeah... i surf in daet (bagasbas beach) and a few days ago they told me the waves are about 5ft high. last time i've been there is july.. will probably have a 1 week trip by the first week of october.

hmm... the waters really cold in your place.. that's the reason why surfers there wear wetsuits, right? to get themselves warm.

see you soon!  

Hi, I heard a buzz that todd stole surf.com.ph from Brian Landrigan, the owner of surf.ph and was wondering if you know if that is true?

i GUESS THAT WOULD SHOW IF IT'S TRUE OR NOT...

it should be good around the start of October..end of Sep.Hopefully it'll turn-on for the comp at Siargao!Hey you're Sam right!!??the guy in Kathys piks with the dreads yeh??...ahhh!haha.Im a bit slow....

and yep,thats what wetsuits are for.Without them we wouldnt be able to surf for about 4 months of the year.Its not THAT cold here as apposed to a lot of other places in the world....but when you're surfing super warm water and then the temp decides to drop below 5degrees in the mornings,its a bit of a shock to the system.Plus I'm a priss when it comes to cold weather;)

sundog shouldnt you ask the man himself??

hi millz...

you're not slow... in fact, (i think) i didn't mention in any of my previous posts that i am sam (the movie?)... i'm shadow, the son of odin a.k.a. mr. wednesday.. hehe.

but yes, i am sam, the dreaded guy in kathy's pix. i hope you don't dread guys with dreadlocks. goes to show you read do read profiles of other members... hehe.. no wonder you're a GOLD MEMBER now...

peace.

aye, millie I should and did. No reply, just instnatly banned. Me thinks I poked a sore spot eh mates? This is interesting, and the emails from others are interesting, but no reply from todd...guess the truth shows, right?

..ei shadow, you sound like you're from "American Gods.."  
..swell is promising in LU, see you guys in the line-up!  

shadow knew in his soul that the real storm had truely begun....hahahaha

nope dont dread dreaded guys unless theyve got the fabled spiders nest amoungst their dreads......

being a gold member is the pinnacle of my life.NOTHING will ever top this moment...

I know this is kinda....irrelevant to surfing,but does anybody personally know of any houses(not a mansion!)for rent in Manila right now?Thought Id ask you guys first just incase.

cheers,
millie
