Surfing: Another Art of Balancing (Liw-Liwa , San Felipe, Zambalez)

I already featured here the Art of Balancing which is conducted in Tanay Rizal the so called Rock Balancing.


But today, another experience, yes my first ever experience doing another form of art in balancing in the water the so called surfing, rides using the surf board facing forward of a moving wave that normally carrying the “surfer” towards the shore line.

Waves can me natural or man-made depending on the availability, it can be also an extreme large waves or just a small one depending on the surfer capacity. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found in the ocean, but can also be found in lakes or in rivers in the form of a standing wave or tidal bore.

Surfing is one of the activities prepared by Journeying James on his 3rd year Blog anniversary and #PROJECTJOMALIG thanksgiving Sept 28 and 29, 2013 in Liw-Liwa, San Felipe, Zambalez. Surfing was also included to our Tour Package to experience and learn surfing free for one hour with instructor. But if you  are going to rent a surfboard , prices varies depending the length of time you’re gonna use the board, i.e. for 1hr rent worth 200, with instructor per hour is 200 also. But if you are already a surfer, you can rent a surf board without an instructor for an amount of 400 half day. But if you guys are beginners, I advise you to get an instructor because they will help you on timing and balancing. They will also conduct a basic training prior on surfing for safety purposes.

First few minutes, a trainer will orient the newbies at the shoreline.

View Pictures Below.

Standing on the Surf Board, One foot forward (It can be right foot or left)

It was great experience, the first time you ascend on the surf board it was scary but the time you started to stand up, expect that you will fall down. As you will do it all over again, you will learned to balance now, and the feeling was glorifying and fulfilling, in just a few seconds standing and balancing on a surfboard your stress disappear. Up until you will not notice the time that one hour is finished.

The first day September 28, 2013 I used my slot for surfing and luckily another free slot was offered to me when Irish (one of the travelers/campers/surfers) don’t want to avail her surfing lesson and she gave her slot to me. Therefore September 29, 2013, afternoon, another free Surfing Lesson I enjoyed THANKS IRISH!
