| surf trip in zambales I lived and surfed in Zambales back in 1997/98/99. Since I was living in Subic I had the luxury, unlike many filipino surfers (esp those from Manila) of being able to get to the surf in about 40mins and thus surfed Zambales alot. I've had great waves there, even when comparing them to where I came from in Australia, where I have over 25 different breaks in a 15km stretch which unlike the Philipines would have surf atleast 300 days a year. Zambales gets great waves, not every day, but you have to hit it often to score. There's been alot of sledging and character assasination in the forum inrespect of Dodo, not only in this thread but numerous others. While his assertions about Zambales surf may be alittle overstated, I don't think his intentions are malicious. I meet Dodo earlier this year when I returned to the Philippines and he was very helpful and gave me the heads up on a couple of swells that I would otherwise have missed. I must admit that there were more surfers in the water than I had experienced when I was surfing there back in 97/98/99, but hey if you think the Philippines is unlike the rest of the surfing world and exempt from overcrowding then you will be sorely disappointed. So if you're discontent with Zambales surf, exercise your choice and don't go there and keep the disparaging remarks to yourself!! Rastasman |
| surf trip in zambales Hagobel, I would quickly retract your guarantee. Baler has just had more exposure. There are three reef breaks of good quality just near the most commonly surfed beachies in Zambales - not to mention you would be surfing them by yourself rather than with all the Baler Boys who crowd that break (and rightfully so) each and everytime it breaks. There's a left that breaks so heavy in the SW moonsoon swell that it's not my idea of fun. Turtleboy, See you in Zamba soon. Are you still after wax? Rastaman |
| surf trip in zambales Turtleboy Check your private messages for my wife's cellphone number. She's in Zamba for a couple of more days and has access to my wax stash and you may be able to get some from her. Rastaman |
