sunshine smile

ok, so this is a small edit that anton made for me. sesshioning one afternoon infront of mangoriders, boracay ++ some stuff from WONW 2011 ( only a few clips i saved from my now dead macbook)

it's been a tough season for me with the shoulder injury which stops you from progressing and puts you back to square one all the time.
it is a humbling experience to go back to basics, learn and re-learn tricks and explore variations. its also a great reminder that you should just have fun when your out surfing. nothing more, nothing less.







its good to not do what or how the book tells you to do a trick.
steez it, poke it, grab it!



PS:
today i learned that
words are always misunderstood
whether you like it or not.

The more you educate yourself the more you understand where things come from the more obvious things become and you begin to see lies everywhere. You have to know the truth and seek the truth and the truth will set you free.

thanks to everyone that supported me in this.

broken


my computer is officially dead.
its ok though, served me for 4 years i think.
but am just sad because there is so much stuff to do and am stuck with no computer
and its hard to update my blog and upload pictures.
so for now you will have to deal with kiting shots mostly as my point and shoot is also broken plus i dont have a computer to upload it with.

so here i am again updating through anton´s computer.
we didn't push through with the Vigan trip because of the schedule situation
but yes we are happy here in windy boracay.

in two days we will be in manila to paint the town red, see some friends and work a little bit.
i have a shoot with two of my favorite waterbabies.
stay tuned on how it will go.

to those in manila, hit me up and lets hang

here are some screenies from the shoot the other day
thank you

uprising



it's been really busy for the last three weeks and i can say that this is the first weekend i had off since the KTA started. it was really hectic but fun at the same time. now i get to spend some time with working on my computer, the shots and also prepping up to go back to Vigan, which is ahhhmazing.

we have been traveling and shooting with the COR aka children of revolution here in boracay and union bay. we had an awesome time shooting with the jet ski, GoPro and heli, how sick is that eh? and as usual, when my riding gets better i just fuck it up again completely with the shoulder when i get to try harder stuff.
this sucks so bad.

but what to do but let it heal again, rehab and prioritize a surgery before i leave the country again.


so yeah this weekend i was just hangin with some friends and it reminded me on why i stayed and lived in boracay in the last 6-7 years of my life. and i tell you, even if its full of tourists here and there, oh it is a great place to be, great people and just good vibes if you just know where to look and where to be.

its also funny how fast the coconut express is, your gone out working 2 jobs for the last 3 weeks plus some events and don't hang around, the next thing you know is that there are rumors about you being snobbish, obnoxious, judgemental or whatever just because you dont show up because your working.. its funny how assuming and conclusive it is. i jsut wish that sometimes people are more understanding that there are other things you do in your life aside from partyingö like, sleeping, enjoying some daytime sport, doing the errands, or just simply working, to continue living a good life and get some time to kitesurf .

at the end of each day you just have to not think of what others think, because it will eventually get to you and destroy some goals and achievements you have been doing during your daily life.
don't let this things affect you, do what you love to do, what feels right and just rise above all things that bring you down.

o well, in the end i love you all X

here are some test shots from the time that a good friend and photographer was here visiting.
