I got a 6'2 directional kiteboard for sale. Good condition, includes footstraps and leash. It's a good board for a beginner in kitesurfing coz it has enough volume to let you cruise even in light wind conditions. Got it 3 years ago for 400US$ and give it away now for 6,000 Php.(negotiable).
Any takers ?

You might need some luck to score waves in the Southchinasea in September. In any case you should bring your kiteboard coz the wind in Subic bay gonna be pretty much sideshore ! But not as strong as during the NE moonsom, so bring a big kite

Kiteboard is still available. I have a kite, too but not for sale, unfortunately. You could buy a kite (used) maybe in Boracay from one of the many kitesurfschools there. Or there is one guy whom I met once in Lake Caliraya here who is the local distributor of Gastra (forgot the name but am sure local windsurfers know him). I heard they have some kites for sale.

Surfing cloud 9 is a different league than surfing onshore Zambales waves. Guess Alona wanted to make the point that if someone lives so closed to a world class break (which apparently breaks sooo often perfectly) the man should make at least the take off.

The reason why so many people are pissed off by the post of ZSA is that they apparently report super conditions when the waves suck.

Dodo, why don't you get yourself a digicam and post pics of the surf in San Narcisso on a dayly basis ? You could promote your resort more professionally and you could stop this discussion once and forever!

Kodak has a special sale of Php 9,999 for a pretty good Digicam and I am sure the hundreds of guests coming to your resort would be more than willing to chip in!

Come on Dude - proove to everybody that you don't talk bullsh&t and show us how your worldclass break is pumping so often! I mean - you already exposed all the spots in the area - so with a wavecam you cannot do any further harm!

whoaaaaa, this is getting now a bit out of control...

I surfed the mentioned breaks a couple of times and have been treated very nicely by the local surfers (never surfed Christal Beach though coz everytime I looked at it, it was not good).

We need to be aware that localism will happen once the number of surfers on any given spot increases. Apart from being very inconsistent the zambales spots are prone to this problem because they can only accomodate a limited number of surfers. Once you have more than 10 guys out there, the "fighting" for the waves and the drop ins are (unfortunately) unavoidable.

Therefore I am afraid that anybody who agressively advertises certain surfspots is responsible for increasing localism.

That's why I never understood why ZSA so openly advertises surf spots which are rather far away from their Christal Beach Break. (I still believe ZSA is doing that solely to get guests into their resort and generate profits.)
