Hi there!
FYI: The comp will not push through on the said tentative date and will be rescheduled later this year. We sincerely apologize for this especially to those who were looking forward to this event.  The committee decided to postpone due partly to the recent changes in the local gov't here and also to buy more time to come up with a better organized competition.  Thank you for understanding.

dreamweaver hi!

Very reasonably priced Zambales customshaped boards for sale.

The surf in front of Crystal Beach Resort has been having very nice waves for 6 days in a row already.
A lot of foreigners and Manila based surfers have not stopped going back to Crystal Beach again and again and again.  They say surf is very good here and I really think everybody reading messages in this forum should try surfing at Crystal Beach and i think it is more likely, just like the hundred others, that you will surf here again and again and again....
Don't take my word for it coz i could be biased but at least believe in so many others who are very much satisfied in surfing at Crystal Beach.
Also, we definitely want more income so that we will be able to help others more and most especially the local surfers because almost all of the income generated by the resort through your generous patronage go back to the community and to the local surfers.  And that's another reason why it's a must that you surf at Crystal Beach because i sincerely believe that you guys also want to help.
Zambales been havin good waves lately and even today.

The surf at Crystal Beach Resort is really World Class.  Please visit it first and try for yourself.  It's very near Manila. For some photos of Crystal Beach Surf pls visit www.crystalbeach.com.ph
When you plan to surf there pls check out the wave forcast first so you will have fun surfing.  But just in case you didn't check the internet for wave condition and arrive there without waves you can still have fun hanging out at some of the pristine beaches of Zambales. Or you can go fishing, Island hopping, boating, snorkeling, waterfalls tour, aeta village tour, play billiards, beach volleyball, frizbee, darts, chess, videoke singing, swing on a hammock, watch a surfing video, read surf mags, hang out with the locals, lahar trekking, mountaineering, etc., or stroll around Subic an do some parasailing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, gokart racing, horsebackriding, visit zoobic and the bat kingdom, play golf, jungle tour, bar hopping, dance at Pier 1, scuba wreck diving, etc. etc.
But with all this I admit that Crystal Beach cannot please everybody.  I am very sorry that we cannot please all of you although we definitely want to.  Also if we have displeased anyone...we sincerely apologize.
And to those that patronized us...our overflowing gratitude!
Pls watch channel 7 this Saturday Nov 27 at 10AM and see a glimpse of Crystal Beach Surf.

Fellow surfers,

Here are 4 honest answers to questions of au_surfer.

1.      Does ZambalesSurfingAssociation headed by Dodo Ramos of Crystal Beach Resort represent the entire Zambales surfing industry? ANSWER: ZSA REPRESENTS ZAMBALES IN MAJOR SURF COMPETITIONS IN SIARGAO, LA UNION, BALER, DAET, LANUZA, ETC.  ALTHOUGH WE ARE THE ONLY RECOGNIZED SURFING ASSOCIATION IN ZAMBALES (RECOGNIZED BY THE GOVERNOR, CONGRESSMAN, DEPARTMENT OF TOURISM, SMEDC, ZAMBALES TOURISM COUNCIL, DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY, ETC.), BUT NO, WE DON'T REPRESENT THE "ENTIRE" ZAMBALES SURFING INUSTRY.

2.      How do you trust a guy who claims in wannasurf.com that his resort has a “word class” beach break when in fact you get to see shitty waves?  ANSWER: THE TRUTH IS THAT CRYSTAL BEACH RESORT REALLY HAS A WORLD CLASS BEACH BREAK.  YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRUST ME FOR IT.  ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS VISIT CRYSTAL BEACH ESPECIALLY ON GOOD SURFING CONDITIONS THEN GO AROUND THE WORLD AND COMPARE IT TO OTHER BEACH BREAKS. YOU WILL THEN DISCOVER THAT WHAT I AM SAYING IS NOT JUST A FACT BUT THE TRUTH.  

3.      How would it feel on surfing rented boards donated by Australians? ANSWER: THERE ARE 3 SURFBOARDS DONATED BY AUSTRALIANS AND WERE ASSIGNED TO TOP 3 FINANCIALLY POOR ZAMBALES SURFERS- MANUEL, JAYPEE AND GORYO. WE HAVE THOSE BOARDS RENTED SO THAT THEY CAN BUY LEASHES, WAX, SURF REPAIR MATERIALS, BOARD SHORTS, FOOD ON THEIR TABLE, AND CLOTHES ON THEIR SKINNY BODIES.  PLS RENT THOSE BOARDS...HELP THESE KIDS...AND FEEL GOOD!

4.      What will your reactions be upon knowing that you won’t contribute to the community but instead will cheat on other areas (Magsaysay and Timmy’s Point) of a possible income?  ANSWER:  I AM SORRY BUT I SINCERELY THINK THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.  WHAT WE DO IS INTRODUCE OTHER ZAMBALES SURF SPOTS THEN ONCE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT THEY GO THERE BY THEMSELVES AND SPEND THEIR MONEY IN THAT AREA. THAT MEANS INCOME TO THE LOCAL SURFERS IN THAT AREA AND INCOME TO THE COMMUNITY.

au_surfer,
You really don't know what you are talking about.
First of all, Gameplan is NOT IN CHANNEL 7!!!
You might have watched Eat Bulaga or Mulawin!
Secondly, I will NEVER cheat on my fellow Zambalenos especially with San Antonio because my relatives, friends and fellow surfers and resort owners are from there.
All the surfing action was at Crystal Beach Resort, San Narciso, Zambales.  Why can't you accept that simple truth?
PROOF: MANILA BULLETIN /JUST FOR KICKS /GAMEPLANET Columnist RAMIL DE JESUS writes about their surf adventure at Crystal Beach in San Narciso for Gameplan.
Thank you for promoting San Antonio, Zambales!  That's the Hawaii of Philippine surfing! I don't mind putting them on the limelight.  I was one who introduced that surfspot to many manila and foreign surfers. Now the locals there  are reaping the benefits!
Are you a Filipino?  If you are then here's what I can say: " MABUTI PA ANG MGA DAYUHAN AY TINUTULUNGAN NILA NA MAI-ANGAT ANG SURFING SCENE NG CRYSTAL BEACH NGUNIT ANG ISANG PILIPINO NA TULAD NINYO NI ALONA ANG SYANG PILIT NA BINABABA AT BINABAGSAK ANG KAPWA NINYO PINOY"

au_surfer
You really don't know what you are talking about.
First of all, Gameplan is also NOT IN CHANNEL 2!!!
You might have watched Kristala!
Secondly, you are really making me laugh coz it's not Christian Bautista who surfed it was Christian Esteban!
I like your sense of humor! I also love how you make up stories!
Thirdly, Ms. Chiongbian of Gameplan is just so stoked here at Crystal Beach Waves that she even recommended us to her relatives and in-laws like Suki. And if you really watched you should have seen her stoked with genuine smiles from ear to ear!
Fourthly, I will NEVER cheat on my fellow Zambalenos especially with San Antonio because my relatives, friends and fellow surfers and resort owners are from there.
All the surfing action shot by GMA7 was at Crystal Beach Resort, San Narciso, Zambales.  Why can't you accept that simple truth?
All you needed to do is ask Christian and the other celebrities and the producers.
Fifthly, when you say that the surfing scenes in GMA7 were done at Magsaysay Rivermouth wherein it's shallow and not deep then it just shows that you haven't gone surfing to Crystal Beach lately that the surf here has become more and more beautiful.  All you have to do is ask around maybe from people from U.P. swimming team, Quicksilver, Surfworld, Underwater Hockey Team, Power-up company, Siargao surfers, Olin Duaso, Japanese surfers, Canadian surfers, Brendt surfers, Faith Academy surfers, Siargao Island Surf Co., etc, etc. The list can go on and on.
Sixthly, GMA7 didn't surf and shoot beyond Crystal Beach Territory.  All the surf shots were done here at Crystal Beach Resort all you have to do is again ask all the people of GMA7 who did the shooting especially the cameraman.  As you know here at Crystal Beach we also have a view of the islands and the mountains pls check it out.
Thank you for promoting San Antonio, Zambales! I don't mind putting them on the limelight.  I was one who introduced that surfspot to many manila and foreign surfers. Now the locals there  are reaping the benefits!
Are you a Filipino?  If you are then here's what I can say: " MABUTI PA ANG MGA DAYUHAN AY TINUTULUNGAN NILA NA MAI-ANGAT ANG SURFING SCENE NG CRYSTAL BEACH NGUNIT ANG ISANG PILIPINO NA TULAD NINYO NI ALONA ANG SYANG PILIT NA BINABABA AT BINABAGSAK ANG KAPWA NINYO PINOY"
When I say San Antonio as a Hawaii it's because the scenery is just so picturesque. I have personally heard Hawaiian tourists and foreigners who have been in Hawaii themselves say that it's just like Hawaii. But anyway Marklucas thanks for your posts i will probably just not use the Hawaii term next time.

Fellow Surfers,
Thank you for reading my posts here in this forum.
Starting today I won't be bragging about Zambales surfspots in this forum again.  You just have to discover them yourselves.  But for those criticizing us I just hope that you tell the whole picture and not just the negative parts coz there are far more positive things to say and it's always better to be positive.
Thank you!

Sincerely,
Dodo U. Ramos

Fellow surfers,
My suggestion is that you personally ask about Crystal Beach Break from the people I mentioned like UP swim team, power-up, Siargao surfers, Underwater Hockey Team, etc. so you will have a firsthand and unbiased information...The Truth.  As you know, if you read the "ALL POSTS" of Alona, au_surfer, and Northern Lights, it's almost 99% against Zambales.  If they are the only people you listen to and read posts from then it is more likely that you will find me a liar and misleading. But I guarantee you that there are a greater number of people who knows the truth and will side with me and with what i said.  Unfortunately it just seems that only a very minimal few of them are member or reading this forum.  You will be meeting them anyway sooner or later coz Phil surfing circle is just too small.

Fellow surfers,
I am not pretending to be even a good surfer.  Not even close.  I am just still a beginner and perhaps will not get better than that.  I surf other spots like the dreaded Cloud9 even when it's big just for fun, courage and pure adrenalin rush.
However there are San Narciso locals who learned and practised surfing at Crystal Beach Break that are now making their respective names in competition surfing in the recent Lanuza Surf Comp and also in La Union; who also rips and ride tubes in Cloud9! You will meet them in other upcoming competitions as well.  Prepare to meet Zambales' Best surfers: Manuel Molina, Jr, Felix "Goryo" Ancot, Jr, and Jaypee "Ping-Ping" Danila.  They are still very new in the surfing scene but how can they possibly compete and even win in their heats if they haven't surfed good waves in San Narciso?

Hang Loose everyone and let me be the first to greet you a "MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

Dodo Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
--------------------------------------
Copyright 1998-2000, David Reilly. All Rights Reserved.

Q: 1.. PEOPLE USE THE WORD DODO AS AN INSULT. WAS IT REALLY STUPID?
NO! The dodo, being an animal, didn't have the same
levels of intelligence as people, but nor did it suffer
from a lack of SMARTS. This fallacy may stem from the
fact that early visitors to the island were surprised
to find the dodo to be a FRIENDLY bird - despite the
fact that they were slaughtered in large numbers. Just
because an animal doesn't have an innate fear of an
introduced predator (man), doesn't necessarily indicate
a lack of intelligence.
Q: 2.. Why do people use the phrase "dead as a dodo"?
The dodo is an extinct bird, and is often remembered
for its death.
Q: 3.. What is a dodo bird?
The dodo bird is an extinct bird, which is believed to
have died out around 1681 AD. The dodo bird was a gray,
flightless bird, and may be a distant relative of the
pigeon family. It had a large, hooked beak, and a
plume of white feathers adorned its tail.
Surprisingly little is known about the dodo and its way
of life. Some scientists believe that the dodo was
extremely overweight, from between twenty and twenty
three kilograms. Others speculate that it was much
thinner, and that it was a running bird. There are no
live specimens of dodo to examine, and paintings and
drawings of the dodo show great differences in its size.
Q: 4.. What is the scientific name of the dodo?
The scientific name of the dodo bird is "Raphus
Cucullatus".
Q: 5.. Where did the dodo bird live?
The dodo bird lived on the island of Mauritius, which
is located off the coast of Africa. On the island, the
dodo had few, if any, predators, and it was safe for the
bird to live on the ground. This changed with the
introduction of feral animals, and with the influence
of man.
Q: 6.. When was the dodo first discovered?
The dodo was first discovered in 1581, by visitors to the
island of Mauritius.
Q: 7.. When did the dodo become extinct?
The exact date is uncertain, but it is generally believed
that the dodo was extinct around 1681.
Q: 8.. Why did the dodo become extinct?
When man introduced new species, the dodo was easy prey.
However, the direct influence of man through hunting also
played a significant role - eventually leading to the
extinction of the species.Q: 9.. Where can I find dodo products?
The best place to buy dodo products is at Dodo Island, an online
site devoted to the dodo that also sells dodo products. There's a
huge range of dodo figures, toys, clothes, and accessories. For
more information, see http://www.dodoisland.com/
The DODO CLUB is the only Club in the world for children who love Alice and the Lewis Carroll stories. Every two months a Dodo News is sent out with sixteen pages of pictures, articles, puzzles, jokes - all sorts of things. Although the club is for children, adults are allowed ot join as Associates

Dodo is like a true surfer being a real islander from Mauritius island in the Indian Ocean.

If a "Dodo" can produce such good people, animals and things...then...I'M PROUD TO BE A "DODO"!!!

Bjorn hi!

Please allow me to reply to your posts.
Solidify the locals of some spot in Zambales? I call it pure ¡°LOCALISM¡±!
What you did was brainwashed them and turned them into selfish surfers.  You taught them your sentiments and saw to it that it become theirs as well.
You destroyed the solidity and unity of zambales when you turned them into a separate local within a locality.  You divided us into small locals.
You introduced localism in pundaquit plain and simple and thanks to you coz it¡¯s paying off.  You can now hear from their very lips the words ¡°locals¡±, ¡°respect¡±, ¡°secret spots¡±, ¡°crowded¡± etc.  These words and their meanings were unfamiliar to them before you got into the picture.  When you say ¡° san narciso boys also have to give respect?...I did my part of voicing it out to them hoping slight decency or protocol from dodos boys to confide with the pundaquit boys¡¦¡±, what you really did was divide us and make us fight against each other. What you told Manuel and Zaldo hurt us a lot for both San Narciso and San Antonio surfers because now we are divided.              
They would now even smear at us when we go visit their places.  They have become solid locals separate and now different from any other local of zambales.  You are very wrong in doing that and instilling Localism in their simple minds.  .  If that¡¯s your ¡°basis of truth¡± and what you think is ¡°righteous¡± so be it but please don¡¯t make them your converts.

And if you are committed in continuing localism in zambales then it will be  my mission to go against it.  You are the root wherein all these divisions are taking place so even if you are not a local you are not out of the issue.  As a matter of fact you are the issue.
We are now working on building the bridges once again.  Surfers from San Antonio and the ¡°locals of pundaquit¡± have now started surfing in San Narciso and other spots, eat together, hang out and play billiards, etc.  We lend them our surfboards and vise versa.  We are re educating them and the new surfers to erase localism and focus on sharing and pure fun.  We tell them that we are not to compete with each other, etc., etc., etc.
It¡¯s a difficult task but I think were moving forward.  Even when we ZSA started we always see to it that anyone from Zambales is a local that is why nobody as in nobody has ever felt localized by our association.  They are very welcome in San Narciso and we are very welcome in their surf towns as well.  

¡¦cont¡¯¡¦

That is why I am very much taken aback when suddenly harsh statements from you to Manuel and others, which you commandedly told them not to share zambales surf spots to others, were voiced out.   I never told the locals of pundaquit that they are not or cannot be part of ZSA¡¦somebody else did and created a thick wall between us and analyzing your message, I think it was you.
I do really mind when you call san narciso surfers as dodo¡¯s crew or dodo¡¯s boys or what because I or we never did call it that and when you call us that then you are starting to divide the zambaleno surfers.  You are destroying us and making us fight among ourselves. I never called them dodo¡¯s crew or crystal beach surf club or anything but I called it Zambales Surfing Association so as to unify the whole zambales surfing scene and not divide it.  ZSA was formed to everyone and any surfer from Zambales with no limitations as to what Town or locality of zambales are you from. It was a Province-wide approach that is why the People of Zambales themselves see us not as surfers from San Narciso alone but from Zambales. As a matter of fact it was even surfer Vincent Magsaysay Liwanag of San Antonio Zambales himself who supported us in one of the competitions in La Union.  I can name a lot of surfers from san Antonio whom we share waves with each other respectively without any territorial attitudes.  But when you began to solidify a small group of what you call as ¡°LOCALS OF PUNDAQUIT/ PUNDAQUIT BOYS¡±¡¦LOCALISM ALSO BEGAN TO CREEP INTO THEIR SYSTEM.  My honest analysis is you made them into ¡°FLUID BOYS¡± making them loyal to you and not to their fellow zambalenos.  You taught them respect but respect within the context of pure LOCALISM.  You made your locals turn against me and the other zambaleno surfers.
LOCALISM IS THE NO.1 THING WE DIDN¡¯T WANT TO HAPPEN TO ZAMBALES BUT DISAPPOINTINGLY BJORN YOU MADE IT HAPPEN.

¡¦cont¡¯¡¦

FACT IS that Zambalesnos just want to have fun and share waves not only among zambalenos ourselves but also to Manilenos like you that is why remember the very first time you surfed Zambales you contacted me and I gave you information regarding Pundaquit and I even showed you the way going there, the place, the breaks, the waterfalls, the magic left reef break, etc. There were no local surfboard surfers in zambales then except me.  I was already surfing in Zambales while ¡°vikoy¡± was bodyboarding.
Remember we had so much fun and stoke.
I also showed ¡°rtt¡± the magicleft reef break of pundaquit and it was his very first time to surf it with me and we just had fun!  We shared Zambales to you¡¦
I was just wondering¡¦ WHY CAN¡¯T YOU SHARE IT TO OTHERS AS WELL?
Or at least tell the locals to share their break to others. Or have you ever told a local surfer of zambales to hey share your waves?!  Or have you ever put  the word ¡°zambales¡± in any of your Fluid products and advertisements?  You should be the first one to promote Zambales so that Tourism will flourish in that area and create more jobs and improve economy.
So you admit that you organized a small group of locals in Pundaquit and started with Vikoy and others followed because there were no surfers there before so you said THEREFORE you are also the one who started LOCALISM in ZAMBALES.

¡¦cont¡¯¡¦

Australian donation of boards were meant to be given to poor Local Surfers in their specific local provincial surf spots and not to Manila surfers who are can affords?and doesn't have a local surf spot.
Out of the multiple donations of Surfboards from Australia, Zambales was given only 2 boards from the first donation and none from the 2nd donation but Olin Duaso during the 2nd donation since he knew that zambales got none gave us 1 board that he got from a Baler Boy. Third donations, etc. Zambales got zero board.
But if you happen to ask how many boards from Australian donations went to Manila Surfers , who were at that time to my knowledge was lead by Bjorn of Fluid, you will be amazed that those boards were quite a number. Just a question: Were those boards supposed to be for Zambales?

Everytime San Narciso surfers and ZSA surfers join comps in La Union, Siargao, Lanuza, etc it's just "Zambales" and that includes the whole province we carry and represent and not San Narciso, not Dodos crew, Not Crystal Beach, etc.

When you say that you know me and the other boys pretty much. Sorry but I don't think you do. We just met very few times. and I don't think I know you that pretty much either.
I have to speak up because my name has been mentioned much too often and I just have to set some records straight. Reading your posts have revealed and confirmed a lot of things to me.
But never worry coz you are still very much welcome to surf Zambales. In some way or the other I still believe that you have helped Surfing in Zambales and I thank you for that. I have never Forgotten that my very first boardshort was a FLUID! gift from you. Tnx!

Have fun! Life is cool!

Sincerely,

Dodo U. Ramos
