Thank you wavegensan.

In case you notice, the photos are gone. I just found out about it too. I have to catch up on life first. I’ll get them up and showing anytime soon.

Just in case Bagyong Feria is keeping everybody’s adrenaline at the moment, this film is keeping everybody else in skimboarding world up and about:

No official poster yet, but this is one of the most anticipated events in Southeast Asia. Too bad again, I have another reason to miss it. Sorry again Jet:

Penang 3rd International Skimboarding Competition 2009
Date: July 11th & 12th, 2009
Venue: Batu Feringghi Beach, (behind Bayview Beach Resort & Hard Rock Hotel)
Time: 9AM - 6.30PM

Penang 1st National Skimboarding Competition 2009
Date: September 26th & 27th, 2009
Venue: Tanjung Bungah Beach, (behind Corpthone Hotel)
Time: 9AM - 6.30PM

Remarks:
1) After what happen last year we are moving our comp site back to Batu Feringghi. More spectators and better facilities.
2) Also, this year’s comp we will be building a mini ramp on the beach at the comp site for skate, BMX and inline demo before the start of the comp and during breaks.
3) This year’s comp will be over the weekend (2 days) due to unpredictable sea and wave conditions. The moment the waves pick up we will run as many heats as possible.
4) Lastly, we are working our butts off to get accommodation for this year’s comp at a 5 star resort as mentioned above for as low as RMY120 a night/ A$53 a night. The resort is in front of the comp site next to Hard Rock Hotel, Penang.
5) Prizes and sponsors will be updated soon

After all the stress factors, here it is. Marlon… all apologies for the delay. Apparently, life and what nots got in the way. But, we are so proud that you guys pull the event together successfully. No action pictures but these piccies say it all:

Be it a lesson, there is always the wildcards. Hehehehe I know of someone who admitted that rookies can be a real threat. Awww… But yeah, losing is part of the game. At the end of the day, fun is what really matters. Agree?

With the recent overwhelming (but fun) discussions of Borongan Skimboarding Club. Padagata is coming up with something… Lokals Only or that’s what they say. Oh yeah, this is dedicated to the Borongan Skimboarders who really have represented themselves.  High five to you! CLICK HERE.

After watching so much government channel, I am enticed by the shores of Occidental Mindoro. I know that Mindoro (facing inwards) has good spots and yeah hi to Epoy (Woosa!). But on the other side of the island, there are much wonderful uncharted spots. I am betting on Sablayan as a very potential one. Notice the sand, it looks very solid. Just imagine getting the speed on it. Pretty, yeah? It’s a little far out but with wide and clean shoreline, there’s no second thought in charging on:

All apologies to post such a big bang bash so late. Sometimes life gets in the way of skimboarding. I have to do what need to be done just like everybody else.

By the look of it, everyone at Nasugbu beach was having a blast. Arlene, Brien and some other Aloners were present:

Gloomy, far break… who cares it’s “skimmable.”

Whose drunk? Whose not?

Finally, they are drunk. Obviously. Hehehehe!

50 is the new 20. I want to be 50 and be like Nanay Nikki. Aww… sweet!
