ey Ocean, you went to Zambales arredy? how bout LU?

i wanna sign-up too!!

actually kuya Mark, im practicing my surfing every week-end if my schedule permits me. i think am very good at paddling (this is the only part where i can exercise my S stroke mastery ) its the standing-up part that im lacking. ei, can't wait for the stick to arrive. salamat po

gaya din!

wow! from selling board, to free board ,and then to millie's label.
knefut is right, be sure that the board recipient won't sell it. the best solution to that would be to send 'em to me

ei kuya Mark, can't wait to test drive your board. tnx!

Millie, do u have any product freebie? need any team rider?

don't worry guys you'll be the first to know about the shipping fate of kuya Mark's board. can't wait to test drive it.  

ei Ocean, i think there's no difference b/n swimming w/ or w/o board except the following:
(from my own unproven observation)
1. you can't do high elbow recovery since the upper body are to be kept of minimal movement.(i prefer a flat sweeping recovery just like those in butterfly.)

2. you don’t have to rotate your body for every stroke. That would make the board criss-crossing the imaginary bi-lateral axis. I did that on the minimal and I fell off the board.

3.since,boards are wide (am i right Millie?) especially long boards. the pressure of paddling is somewhat directed to the elbows. so, a little bit of additional wrist angling are necessary to feel the "catch" of water. (we were taught that high arm turn-over ratio does not translate to faster swimming that’s why the “catch” phase is very important.)

3. we don't need goggles and swim trunks , We don’t need to breath every other stroke.
(self explanatory)
..i hope we could practis our paddling sometime and share some in-depth stroke analysis

*I have one question though… is it advisable to do a flutter kick when catching waves? someone told me that I just have to bend my knees when im prone to avoid drag. I was thinking that flutter kick adds forward thrust when done correctly.

DISLAIMER: i have no idea if my observations and suggestions are really right. i got some of them from important swimming analysts but they're not so important that i have to memorize their names and you'de care to remember their them.

atta wahine! Millie- omniscient mortal

ei millie, am sure were related somehow? hahha. just logged a couple of surfing days and i think im good( dont get me wrong coz am just trying to boost my self esteem. hehehe) if you dont want me to be your team rider i'll be the team driver.

i'll do anything you want basta il have some of your freebies (you know, promos and stuffs). sandspits and soups don't matter to me. hehehe basta help me with my surfing.

u know what millie, you're too old for your age ..walking surf encyclopedia.

finally, we have one proponent of flutter kick out here! i guess we really need the flutter kicking part for extra propulsion.
mabuhay y'all!

if flutter kicking does more harm than help then i'll be kicking the habit. thanks!

ive seen pictures of Baler... nycie place!

how do they prepare their suman ba? is it w/ or w/o sugar? (just curious po)

i agree with kuya knefut's sentiments. anyways, Manong Mark's board arrived in a OK condition and i was super stoked. thankz!!! our place is open for your boards' safekeeping

ei te hydro,when youre already friends with the las piñas guy named full of shit maybe you could ask him to be our friend also.

..your ryt ocean! yeah, i live very near the beach. practically just a few meters or so. i havent had the chance to ride in my backyard. kuya knefut is helping me out in my surfing and manong mark just gave me a thruster for me to use. thank yous' manongs and manangs! ..see my stars?!
