sebay sucks too many rules, overpriced bad food too  

what about checking samar instead of mindanao? less chances of encountering islamic separatists in the visayas.  im not saying that these guys are all around mindanao. theyre mostly confined to the western part of the region but then again its just one big island. though i think youd be better off traveling the road to mati than loitering around in davao city

im a free man todd! unfortunately having back problems lately, ever heard of a slip disk? its literally a major pain in the ass.  anyway undergoing therapy but havent surfed in weeks maybe i should refrain from imitating the weird stuff in kamasutra eh ?  

surf season? been watching wave patterns for some time now, honestly, dont think that theres such a thing here, waves can hit you at the most unexpected moment and flat spells can last for months even during the so called surf season, maybe its the erratic weather?

mitch! smileys still around, lurking behind the bushes waiting to molest innocent youngsters, last time i heard he was in vigan, probably scouting for new areas to pick fresh victims, anyway, ill make sure you get some suntan oil  when you fly back

SD!!!! keep on surfin!

prejudice against people in surfcamp? we were discussing thefts that happened in the surf resorts in san juan, werent we?  coincidentally an incident in surf camp started the discussion. what happened in surfcamp surely happened in the other resorts too. what was emphasized in the discussion was the fact that thefts happen all over the world, and if you loose something inside a hotel or a resort, theres no one else to blame but yourself. i dont see any prejudice against surf camp people here? i lost some valuables in that place once, but i still stay there whenever i visit san juan for a surf, though i now take extra precautions to avoid losing my stuff.

Man-eating white sharks sighted off Bataan

LIMAY, Bataan — Fisheries experts and villagers here are baffled by the sightings of man-eating white sharks in the waters of this coastal town.

For a while, fishermen here and in neighboring Orion have refrained from venturing off the coast for fear that they might suffer the fate of a resident of Barangay Luz whose entire arm was snapped off by a white shark a few weeks ago.

"It was the first reported sighting of white sharks in the area," said fisheries enforcement officer Danny Abrera.

White sharks, scientifically known as carchorodon carcharias, have been called "man-eaters" in the United States and "white death" in Australia.

White sharks have also been sighted in the waters of Palawan and Mindanao.

Abrera said reported sightings of the marine predators have caused panic among local fishermen, particularly dynamite users who have to retrieve their catch under water after the blast.

But he said the panic has dissipated following news that a white shark, a pregnant female about six meters long, was killed late last month.

"But they reported seeing at least two (white sharks). The local folk presume that the smaller one is male, although they also reported seeing other smaller white sharks," Abrera said.

i guess most pics were taken along the coast of urbiztondo in san juan

just one among the occassional visitors. live nowhere near la union.  

add one more injured dork on the list kage...  

been sidelined since april because of a stupid slip disk. damn i hope ill be getting over it soon, count yourself lucky cause youre sure to get over a wrist injury one way or another, i dont even know if my problem can go away without surgery. therapy and docs dont seem to be helpin so far  

still hopin for a some miracle cure here, or just some damn strong painkillers to let me surf myself stupid even with a problematic back  

its gonna be here sooner than u think, if i guess it right, from the increasin volume of questions ive been getting from friends about surfin im thinkin that its starting to get a considerable attention from pinoys lately, maybe its the blue crush syndrome eh? what normal guys wouldnt wanna start surfin with surfer babes like that eh? hehehehe  

im not a christian nor have i been surfin for a long time, but the story and its epilogue brought goosebumps all over  

ive just decided to buy myself a little piece of a surf spot somewhere in the phils with the low prices of the real estate im tryin to get i wish that this will not be an investment that im going to regret. wish me luck peeps, i pray that its going to be my little surf paradise, looking forward to waking up to a sight of a nice beach break, ah... right in front of my dream house    keep on surfin!

ey there, keep on surfin!  

mitch, started to look & hopefully will find a great deal, since it has to be  along some far flung deserted beach away from bustling urban centers, a company or two would be more than appreaciated

cant surf cant surf   not anytime soon at least, doc told me to keep away from the surf until the disc is well if i dont want surgery, 2 years at worst, damn, i hope it gets better sooner than that   cant even do a normal workout anymore, F*CK

dont go to the phils for a surf, crazy bandits and terrorists pack the lineup and stay away from the islands from june to february, no waves most of the time, extremists go crazy  

i wonder whats the circumstances surrounding this one  

im "nice and cool"  

and i love everyone...  especially babes in string bikinis loitering by the beach    

i not much of a believer in surf schools or lessons, if youre a total newbie to waveriding its your passion for it, preseverance and personal efforts thats going to improve your skills. unless you can surf everyday, keeping yourself fit is good. maybe, a good instructor can help,  but on a good day, say during those days with nice clean overheads, i bet youre going to be out there on your own and the instructors going to be having a grand time in the lineup chasing those waves, overheads can be quite overwhelming for newbies but the only way to improve your surfing would be to charge those waves. will you do it?

safety? theres always a risk to surfing, all sorts of weird stuff can happen, leash snapping in the middle of a huge swell, a board cracking your head, a wipeout pinning you underwater. but im guessing that the numbers will show more people died in car accidents. its your call. have you ridden a wave? would you risk it in exchange for that short fleeting euphoric moments of waveriding? again its your decision, surfing is a very personal experience, its different for everyone, my take on it, as long as youre enjoying yourself, go out there and live life! keep on surfing

wasnt the worst but it was scary alright, i think it was an overhead day in san juan. surfing the beach break, trying to paddle out during an outside set, my board however, was dragged by a wave and the leash snapped. was floating out there without a board, watching my board being pushed towards the beach when this aussie guy got near me and let me hang on to his board. at first i thought he was going to help bring me out of the water, but instead he said, "ok boy, now go swim back to the beach and get your board"! i did  

ooooh a cat fight... love to see girls tangled up

youll find the so called "crushers" everywhere, even people who dont seem to talk like one or look like one, even way before blue crush hit the big screen, so why get ourselves pissed about it? in the end its their loss, whos enjoying the waves after all? certainly not one among this type of people. i say, just keep on surfing

true mark, true enough, and dont forget about getting rabies from a stray dog, malaria from crazy mosquitoes or just getting whacked by some drunken bandits.

thankfully the backs healing! yeah! im giving it a couple more months, when i feel that its all ready ill see some of you somewhere! im tired of ending my posts with keep on surfing...   time to think of a new catchphrase i guess

never stop surfing!

they say indonesias got some of the worlds best breaks, and almost everyone knows where bali, g-land, nias and mentawais are. anyway i was wondering if theres anyone here whos familiar with surf spots close to its capital jakarta? care to share some info on these areas if they exist, soon hopefully, before this week ends perhaps? i know most people wouldnt share such info, im just counting on luck and some kind hearts. never stop surfing!
