ZamBloody Attack

September 2, 2010 – 2:20 am

For most of the spectators it was unbearable to stand the weather all the way through Sunday. Considering it was a long weekend, it was way much longer than it seemed. The weather was not cooperating. The low pressure hit right when everything started. It was admirable for the competitors to understand how the atmospheric condition was beyond control, although some whinge a little about not getting the heat with better waves.

Day One. It was not like the previous attack when everyone was on the shore already registering and free-skimming. It was a pseudo no show except for the locals who prepared the venue. The sky started to get grayer and grayer, then random rainfall here and there. As the daylight faded out, some people were still flocking one by one for the expected bikini open later at night. Nonetheless, the girls did not show up, because (again) of the weather. The occasion was canceled and moved to the next night.

Although it was a hard night to party, DJ Dice pushed through with his scratches and music. And with the help of Manila Beer, everybody realized that 7% alcohol could endure any storm. Everybody who was there got a tiny spark of party going on. As Wally would put it, “A Storm Party.” Downpour was on interval, but that did not put to an end of the grooving mood of those present.

Day Two. Call time was supposedly at 8A.M. However, it was becoming like a ghost event by the hour. The schedule was set as it would anticipate the storm, which the forecast expected the very day, still nobody went early – something that needed to be changed in the near future of competitions.

As the sky sort of cleared out around noontime, it was about time people showed up. Round 1 of the Class A and Wahine categories was finished, yet Class B had to be postponed after Heat 3. The wind was getting stronger and raindrops were increasing in diameter, very much impossible for the competitors to run, drop and slide.

Finally the storm showed up. The only one thing that was on time during the event. All of the skimboarders then packed in the abandoned bar of Sand Valley, trying to maintain the body heat (Of course with a cold beer). Ray Laig was the man, buying everyone a beer. Yeah! However, the rest of the competing day was canceled. The sky too did a little bit of drinking that day.

Night time came and the bikini open at last happened, but it was moved to another venue. And then… and then… it became all bloody. It started with a little beer shower, which rather translated into a disrespectful gesture to the ladies on stage. Unfortunately, some drunk non-skimmer was having his own kind of fun, which the rest of the audience did not agree. The local skimboarders tried to settle everything, however he still insisted on being there. When he threw his jacket at the tattoo winner, that was the cue that warped everybody into a tumultuous affray. The next thing everyone knew was Wally screaming, “You want war, I will give you war!!!” Which was followed by Paul bravely manning up to the query, “Sinong siga rito?!” Both statements froze the chaos for a split second, just to find out who shouted those loud. Well, it was quiet a night that thankfully ended only with blood and stitches. No dead bodies to speak of.

Day Three. Call time still at 8A.M. and everybody was still late. Good thing the competition was finished as scheduled despite the condition. A lot of unexpected faces went all the way to the final heat in Class B. Pretty much a surprise. And as always, the last night was all about getting wasted and all.

Congratulations to the winners!
