No problem Bro!!!i'd be going to San Juan,La Union this week end to watch the long board compi as well as to surf and get stoked,hope there gonna be waves!!see you at the line up Bro!!

 ei,ocean!!there's this surfers frm par'que who are going to daet on the holy week probably you want to jam with them,i assume that on the holy week you wouldn't be busy.if not go there by your self there are lot of friendly local surfers out there in daet and maybe you could rent some boards from them-this is on your free time!!

 living in a place where its so cold in Dec. to Feb.,pretty cool from Mar. to May and when it rains it pours on June to Sept.!!!!Its 1,1/2-2hrs to the nearest surf spot- san juan,china sea coast and 5-6hrs towards Baler, pacific ocean coast!10mins jeepney ride and a 30mins trek to our highest peak and still be cool abt.it! what else can i ask for-damn i'm so lucky

Seal,
if youre in San Juan,La Union one of this days try passing by surf camp,i think they still have the board that your looking for,good luck!!!

millie,
just be sure if you donate your boards it wouldn't end up  being sold to the next guy!!

 the blanks are made of either polyurethane or polystyrene the wood part you see in the middle is what you call a stringger.Polyurethane uses solvent base materials to finish it while for polystyrene you'd be using non-solvent base, such as epoxy!!go ahead do your research,enjoy!!

ei,ocean
go to www.brucejones.com for your questions on fins and surfboards etc!!

flutter kick applies to shortboard only,can't imagine how could you ever do it on a longboard!!!

I'd rather read the book!!liam neeson is anti-FILIPINO!!

oCean,
 CNN,CNBC,BBC,E! CHANNEL,TIME MAGS!!you can also try british made/publised dictionaries and look out the meaning of FILIPINA,you"ll be amazed!!and i suggest while you into that try visiting the hotels,condos etc in hong-kong you'd be seeing sign boards that goes like this-NO DOGS,NO FILIPINOS!their located at main entrances and elevetor entrances(or should i say"LIFT")
 
 I could go on and on about how the world look at us but why am i not piss off?bcoz,i compare the filipino to the african-american,american-indians,etc,etc!heck,we as filipinos are still lucky!!

 Thats one reason i surf!surfing doesn't judge-color,race,nationality,how tall or short,fat or thin!!it will only judge you on how you give out RESPECT!!

GIVE RESPECT,TO GAIN RESPECT!!

    Thats whats so nice with actors character,they can always act as though they've got nothing to do with it!thats their talent,that is what we pay for not their character but their talent.you'll never know what ever they say or do off cam!!
