So I just got back from Bacuag, Surigao del Norte, and I'm so happy for the success of the 4th Bacuag National Skimboarding Open. The first day was the arrival of the skimboarders, and it was nice to see everybody just hang out with each other, that's what skimboarding is all about. Then the first night was started with an open forum, and don’t ask me, I was asleep, haha.

Here's the invitation for the 7th National Skim Open Competition.

Hello Everybody,

We are pleased to inform you that the Local Government Unit of Tanauan, Leyte together with the An Waray Party Lists thru Rep. Florencio “Bem-Bem” Noel will be holding the 7th NATIONAL SKIM OPEN COMPETITION at the Bantay Dagat Area, Tanauan, Leyte come April 10-13, 2010.

Yeah.. It’s been a while, I’ve been busy doing some geeky stuff, and I forgot to post updates. Anyway, it feels good to meet skimmers online, and feels good to discuss all things about skimboarding, and when it comes to that, there’s only one site that you can get fresh updates about what’s happening in our own Filipino skimboarding community, yes, it’s Padagata.com.

As usual, my parents went to Tacloban (again) to work on some papers, so I got the chance to hang out at Tanauan. When I arrived at the beach, there were skimmers already, Tals and Stephen (Longkoy’s brother), then we just start talking and skimming. An hour later, we moved to another spot, and Stephen insisted that I should try his board, man.. it was my first time to use a Victoria skimboard.. haha.. felt good.. hmm.. I was thinking of getting my own board too… I wonder how much it’ll cost.

I got stuck with work these past few months and haven't had a time for myself, but good thing my dad went to Tacloban City for a seminar, so I went with him but straight to Tanauan instead. When i got off from the van, I was really excited(coz i haven't played skimboarding for 2 years), then I heard the loud sound of waves crushing to the shore. As I got close to the shore, I saw huge swells at the "Oilers Point" and nobody was playing 'cause it was high tide and no space to run. So I just went to some shade and wait the for my local friend, Obet, to come out and taking photos of the waves.

Whoohoo!.. finally, my "not-so-cool" site is up, ^__^. Hey Toni and Bryan, its up! Thank you guys! Drupal rocks! Also, this site a tribute to skimboarding, i'll be posting stories and photos about skimmers and skim spots if I can travel back in Philippines, I just hope so. And I'll be posting projects i've done or future projects in relation to web development with Drupal.
