[Vit@min_C]

surf surf surf!

[PorkChop :o)]

anong posible injuries na makuha sa surfing? maliban po sa malunod ang di magaling lumangoy

[Vit@min_C]

My instructions naman to avoid possible injuries, like yung pag hulog mo sa board, you need to go opposite sa board, para pag hampas nang alon, hindi sa muka mo tatama.

but still,we can't avoid possibilities of injuries 100%. Basta enjoy at ingat-ingat na din.

tara, suuuurf!

worst injuries:

getting crashed on the reefs/rocks
getting hit by the board or fins either yours or someone else... ouch


worst case drowning, getting towed in by the current... my tip; don't panic! Wave to the other surfers when in distress, a lot will help

Up Up Up..abot pa!

hey! manila-based din ako. it takes time if you want to be really really good. lalo na kung taga manila tapos once a month lang nakakapag surf. nearest are in real and zambales. you can also go to baler and LU pero i suggest spend at least 3 days para sulit yung trip.

yng first ride mo, pag nakuha mo y *** feeling, hahanap hanapin mo na yun haha.

just had my first surf sa baler last month - only had one session (1.5hrs) very worth it... especially the first time that I was able to stand up. ayun na adik na!...

Looking forward in visiting Zambales this year... excited!

Hi I am so happy reading this thread. I watched a surfing event on TV last week and sabi ko sa sarili ko I want to learn how to surf im fund of mountain climbing but this time I want surfing. Any suggestions where I can learn surfing in a cheap and easy way?

nice!! i suggest since alam mo na yung feeling pag nakuha mo yung alon, practice your paddling na. mahirap sa una pero you'll get better with practice kung di ka pa confident, pwede rin mag instructor ka parin pero mag practice ka na rin ng paddling nun. you can also practice sa CME!

nearest is in taytay, yung wavepool ng CME. maganda siya kasi consistent yung waves and makakapag practice ka talaga. nearest beach is either real or zambales

active ka ba dun sa mountain climbing thread? naghhike din kasi ako eh hahaha. naghahanap ako ng dayhike this weel :P

may mga nagpupunta ba sa Baler na mag-isa lang? balak ko pumunta mag-isa kasi wala ako friends na interesado.. mga magkano ang magagastos kung overnight lang?

yung ordinary bus is around 500, pag joybus, around 600 yung pamasahe, both for one way. maraming pwedeng pag-stayan sa baler na mura, yung fan rooms lang. usually pag ganun nasa 400/room/night, good for 2-3 persons. try kahea lodge kung gusto mo ng beachfront pero mura.

[tomo_dachi]

Sa tingin nyo magkano ang magagastos lahat lahat kung beginner ako and kelangan ko ng trainer. Mejo mabilis lang naman ako matuto sa ganito like sa wakeboarding.. so siguro i dont need a lot of time with a trainer.

Also, for a beginner, mga ilang days dapat ako mag-stay?

one more thing.... I don't know how to swim. Bawal ba sa kin ang surfing?

hindi ako marunong mag treading/float pero i surf. hahaha.

how many days? it depends. it's a lifelong process pero yung basics kung di ka nakatira sa dagat matagal talaga. for me, the first things you should learn is yung paddle and when to pop-up. kelangan mo makuha yung feeling na nahuli mo na yung alon. depende sa tao yun kung gano katagal.

yung sa gastos, pag hindi kasama ang transpo, usually 400 an hours yung board with instructor na. kung board lang, usual rates are 300 for half day, 500 full day. pero it varies sa lugar.

goodluck! pag gets mo na yung feeling kung kelan tatayo, medyo mabilis na yung progress mo

Well I think makukuha ko naman sya agad kasi based sa wakeboarding, nung first time ko, nakatayo ako agad on 3rd try. Well inaassume ko same technique sila ng surfing.. or baka magkaiba rin. Pero since may interest naman ako sa ganung activities, malaki possibility na sa first 1 or 2 hours nung training makuha ko na agad then self-study na lang after. And dahil hindi malaki ang alloted budget ko for this, baka ma-force din ako na matututo agad or at least learn on my own after 1 or 2 hours with a trainer. Ang problem ko lang is yung swimming part. Di talaga ako marunong lumangoy and mabilis ako magpanic sa tubig kapag di ko na abot yung floor
