Localism!

It can be a gift and also a curse.

A gift in the sense that it can push the sport to a higher level because of rivalry and competition. But on the flip side, the rivalry and competition that it brings could also breed envy and spite which in the end can turn into violence.

Whats your take on this guys?

yung problema sa localism ay yung usapang "teritoryo" o local spot. so far wala pa naman ako naririnig na ganon sa skimboarding kasi may alon o wala nakakapag laro tayo. hindi masyadong sensitive sa drop in (pero bad trip ung ganon). sana hindi magkaroon ng malalang localism yung skimboarding.

that i truly understand teej... pag dayo ka, kailangan mo talaga respetuhin ang mga locals... di lng naman yan applicable sa skimboarding... in every trip we make to a new place, ganyan dapat talaga...

i just hope lng na e keep natin ang "competition" sa local scene at a "constructive" level... the more we push each other, the more tayo gagaling... pag gumaling tayo, then maybe someday, ma recognize ang pinas as a skimboarding powerhouse...


who knows, baka isa sa inyo ang maging next Paulo Prieto... hehehe at pag nangyari yun, pahingi ng board ha...

moderator na pala ako.. ^_^ hehehe

dapat lang ata kaibiganin lang ung mga skimmers na makikita sa beach. para walang masamang kulo.

naalala ko nung pmunta ako anawangin cove kasama ung locals at mga taga las pinas, nung padating ko sa pundaquit nung pauwi na naisipan kong magskim lang muna kasi may alon.. may nakita akong mga skimmers. kinausap ko sila.. tinanong ko kung kilala nila ung locals na nakasama nmin sa anawangin. halos oo at hindi lang ung sagot at skim na siya. hehehe. d ko narin pinansin nagskim nalang ako..ayaw ata makipagusap. tpos maya maya ung iba nilang kasama sumisigaw ng "oi pahiram board!", nung panahon na yun busy ako kakaskim nagbibingi bingihan nalang ako.

wala bang respeto ung ganon? hehehe.

di ko pa na experience yan localism na yan..pero i know its a bad thing to do to a person
sa pilipino naman siguro di uso sa atin yun ganyan...marunong tayong makisama where just here to have some fun...

Teej, to answer your question, yes, i see that thing as them telling you na kanila ang spot na yun... but then again, territorial naman talaga tayo na mga noypi... hehehe

But as long na walang serious confrontation, i think ok lng yun... pwede naman palampasin eh...

terretorial naman talaga tayong mga pinoy peor not to the extent na mangbubugbog kung may dayo..
respect the locals pa rin..

respect the locals! skim cheaper!

ako'y dayo forever. naghahabol ng alon. salamat sa mga kapatid na nagpatulog at nagpakain sa akin. hehehehehehe! pinaligaya nyo ako sa mga uhaw na sandali... para sa alon! salamat din sa inuman! at sa walang kamatayang weed!

the worst story i have heard... sorry sa mga natamaan... locals ng mati.

well.. ganon talaga cguro..

wala pa nman ako na-experience na ganyan sa sports na to...from where I surf in bicol, we entertain visitors like one of our own, we are hospitable to them and kapag kami nmn ang dumadayo sa lugar nila, we get the same respect and hospitality. Its like we are binded by the same blood..And we feel glad kc hindi lang kami yung nkaka-appreciate sa sports na to..para sa amin, para syang fraternity, n khit saan ka pumunta basta dala mo board mo at may nkita ka ng-skim, para bang ngkakaintidihan na kau..may instant attraction and interaction...

pwede..

Tangina talaga! Grabe ang localism war sa kabilang forum. Bwahahaha as in super locals vs. dayos. Hehehhe there's nothing like it pa naman sa skimboarding. I mean, they are surfers. But I have been to Nasugbu, they are nice people. I was lost when I first went there. Sirus the surfer was really nice to make me spend the night. He doesn't even know me, and I don't even surf. But still, he hooked me up with the locals there. And then I came to know Boyet, Dom, Michael, and the rest of the guys na by face ko lang kilala. They are nice.

Nasugbu is my home beach in the north. I love it there. Di naman kagandahan ang beach doon pero ang alon dude! Okay talaga. May season nga lang. Tangina talaga!

Sana something like this won't happen to skimboarding.

grabe sa haba yung thread ah.. tsk tsk those loser guys na maangas sa thread na yun may karma din sila kay mother nature dapat silang ma chugi (lumalabas tuloy pag ka vakler ko)

nabasa ko na ung forums na yun dati. sana hindi tayo maging shitty gaya ng mga surfers. hehehe ienjoy natin ung company ng ibang skimmers saan mang lupalop ito galing.

agree ako sa sinabi mo teej ng 110%....

public property ang dagat and ang alon na dala nito... for me, mali yata nag pagka intinde nga ibang tayo sa phrase na "respect the locals".... and im thinking, kinuha lng yan nila ng lumabas ang blue crush....

cultural naman ang problema dun... dito sa atin, ego ang problema....

so away with that mentality kung pwede...


Cheers!

localism sucks. un lang, bow...

hehe pero pag kano dumadayo sa beach nila...tunganga lang sila....hehe foreigner eh...empre.. inisep nila tourism toh my pera dito...hehe mga bopols den kse minsan yun iba...diba nila alam eh tayo den turista at gumagastos....hmmmm saka ang localism is sa mga puti lang yan....iba ang traditions n traits naten mga pinoy....localism sucks...ego lang ng mga locals na ayaw mag pa sapaw...pero kahit anong gawen nila.....di kanila yun beach...localism sucks!

Relax lang mga sir, hold on your horses..we all know that localism really sucks and that's the main reason why ALON is here, to fix this issue...lahat ng mga sasali dito is from different places, came from different skimming spots..And yung skimtrips, malaking naitutulong nun para masolusyunan ang localism na to.. we go places not just to play but also to unite the skimmers.. wag lang cguro tayo padadala sa sistema ng lokalismo..

A-MEN?!!!

i think localism have no place here in ALON...
Spartans!!!!!!!hoooooraaaaahhhh!!!!!

awoo!!! awooo!!! awoo!!!

MIZMO!!!
