Mag Surf kaha ta no?

koykoy: u can surf in liloan? unsa ka layo mu break ang waves from the shore? pila ka minutes paddle? i haven't heard of anybody catchin a wave in liloan... i heard approx. 2 ft lang daw ang waves didto measured from the back. good for skimboards but can't carry a surfboard.

i don't think it is catchable for surfers but the skimmers are very happy with the waves last weekend..

i saw one carrying a surfboard with the three small fins but he cant seem to catch the wave... waves there break inconsistently and are very very close to shore when breaking

this guy is very good in skimming.. (definitely not me coz i dont know how.. the last time i tried, i almost broke my arm.. hehe)

@Isteb:
how much will it cost to get to surf in Siargao?

@ shoeless_rebel:
see...6'8" is just right 4 me! but how about d weight issue? does it matter? im sooooooo damn skinny!
im in Davao right now. u here? we'll b back in cebu next week. kta ta? naa daw nindut nga waves sa Sarangani (celebes sea)...wanna check it out.

@koykoy:
i do skim too! kapila na ko nahapla...praktis sa sa still-water. dont throw ur board right away, u can push it n glide. n if u intend to throw ur board, ayaw pagdali ug sakay, chase it first. n remember, do not stand upright. bend ur body in forward direction. walah...u can skim na!

yehey! buhi na mga tawo dri!

thanks for the instruction.. my prob is i'm 6'1" and 190 lbs.. i think i have to find the right skimboard hehe

this is a good thread... good for surfers or surfer wannabe's like me...

[lolasurfer09]

wannabe pud ko sa surfing!

@koykoy:
i can see u r tall, hmmm but i saw tall n huge skimmers around... ok man ghapon.

[shoeless_rebel]

koykoy: thanks for the info bro. yeah the waves that i see sa pics nimo is about 2 feet. it doesn't have the power to push a surfboard. i wanna try argao. i heard u can catch some good waves a few meters from the shore. it breaks sa reef daw. i have to check it. bro, i dint know u'r so tall and heavy. hehehehe... u'll goin to need a 7'+ board bro! i saw ur previous post about ur board. is it a 6'? i dont think that can carry you... it's a single fin ryt? was it the one sold here? i wanted to buy that board but i want the tri-fin and i want a longer board. i tried surfin with a 6' but i can't even get up. the nose will dive and i wont get much push from the waves. hehehehehe...

lolasurfer: to answer your question about how much it'll cost to surf in siargao. it's pretty cheap. we usually go there and bring some tents. food is really cheap in GL. and of course surfing is free in cloud 9.

about the board. if ur skinny i think a short board will do for you 6'4" perhaps or a 6'... 6'8" is for medium build and tall surfers para dili mu sink.

by the way, i suck at skimboarding... i used to skateboard alot before i shifted to surfing... but ionno... skimboard is really not for me.

lola: sarangani? is that in southern philippines? i'm in cebu ryt now... i think i'm going back to siargao off seasons for some much needed practice. u see i gained a lot of weight this past few months and it's makin it hard for me to paddle and to push up. hehehehe... and i need to buy a new board too. hehehehe...

@shoeless_rebel:
thanks 4 d board info...naa na unta koy nkita 6'8" quicksilver pintail secondhand, owner is in Taguig! 27k (negotiable)!!!

i do trash too b4 hooking with skim n surf. for me, mas dalian ko magskim compared to surf...as they say skimboarding are for those who cant swim, less risk sa skim, no shark attacks n no nasty paddling n pushing up!(i dunno w u bro...opinion ko lang ni).

yes, im talking about most southern part of d phils, its near indonesia...dunay nindot nga spot daw. research pa nko. i hope to be assigned on that area...hehehe

cge,pagorganize mog siargao trip. i just hope naay girl-surfer ta makasabay(para sugtan ko...)

skimboarding is alot easier than surfing but i think it's much easier to ride the waves than skimming over the water. am i making sense? hehehehe... i know how to skim a bit. it's not much different from skateboarding but i dunno how to do tricks and no matter what i do i just can't skim more than a few seconds unlike the pro's... and i don't get much excitement out of it because of the fact that all i do is skim over the water no tricks no thing. i tried doin some skateboard tricks on a skimboard but skimboards are to heavy and wide and i don't get much ride time. yeah... paddling is one of the hassles of surfing. the first part of ur body that gets tired when ur surfing is ur arms and shoulders. sometimes all you do is paddle the whole day without catching any decent wave. hehehehe...

[lolasurfer09]

@shoeless_rebel:
just imagine u r a girl-surfer...dili lang arms ug shoulders musakit nimo in doin d paddling thing...(remember we have a thing infront, that u dont have ...hehehe ). ang pinakapait kanang ma-wipe-out jud ka! i cant describe d feeling...salty kaau imong mainom!hahaha

about skim...i can do few tricks. u want to knw a secret? i place some grip on my skimboard...pm me if u want to know what n how...
