surfdust

a day in stars with twinkle sparks

palm trees in north and wave that barks

on the road, thick shallow muds

rains, footprints, lay of best buds

island whistles on the ear

as she lay down on bed in tear

happy joys that flow from eyes

on life amazing, sea breeze ties

never-ending green and brown cults

praising water give no faults

so inviting one not miss

island free, eternal bliss

walking home no paths like those

light and moon, sands and toes

love no fear, sun comes high

break sounds, rip and fly

come to thee with smile, he waits

tropical shimmers, she tastes

pink sunsets love grow

surf fringes, stay not go

Quiksilver Open West Java 2012: Nilve Blancada and Luke Landrigan - Pinas Represents!

Yes, Manny Pacquiao lost the fight. But thinking about the waves, we've got Nilve Blancada and Luke Landrigan, Philippines' top surfers to represent our country for the Quiksilver Open West Java Surfing Competition 2012 held in Indonesia from 14th to 17th of June. Well, no surprise at all since Nilve Blancada grew up surfing the waves in Siargao Island, well-trained by her amazing surfer sister Nildie Blancada-Rietenbach. Last May 2012, Nilve or Bebe as what people usually call her, also won the winning title of the Roxy International Surfing Competition held in Cloud9, Siargao Island, Philippines defeating Philippa Anderson. 

I am so proud of the local girls in the island of Siargao because they totally rip and ace in facing one of the best surfing spots in the world.

Surf Movies: Blue Horizon (2004)

Last night, feeling blue about something, I looked up my movie folders and chose one of the best surfing movies I have in my hard drive. In memory of Andy Irons, I played Blue Horizon.

Blue Horizon is a documentary film by a famous surfing cinematographer, Jack McCoy. In this movie, he spends two years following two of the best surfers in the world: Andy Irons (R.I.P) and Dave "Rasta" Rastovich. I took some cool snapshots while the movie was playing. I can't wait to be back in Siargao Island soon. XX
