if there's a will, there's a way. remembers me the "paint my skimboard contest" in leyte, a skimboarding urban legend i may say.

my aunt, a surfer who intorduced skimboarding to me and a manager of a local radio station, together with her beach bum friends saw a group of skimmers in tanauan,leyte playing with slabs of plywood. my aunt said they were playing with boards made from stolen parking lot signs. at that time, early to mid 90's, the kids were already doing somersaults after hitting a wave and some nice nice tricks. an extreme sport enthusiast my aunt was, she organized an activity for local artists in leyte called "paint my skimboard competition" to at least elevate the budding unique sport. the painted boards were laminated with fiberglass, i don't know if it was eb-eb, a skimboard maker whom i got the interest in skimboard making, who've done the lamination, and the boards were given to the local skimmers. maybe the skimmers my aunt was pertaining at that time are supposed to be called the fathers of skimboarding in the philippines since skimboarding, as i really believe so, started in tanauan, leyte. according to malax, the kids were influenzed by a foreigner who married a local in tanauan.

just a story. i've posted this in www.pinoyskimmer.tk, during the first month of choi's website 3 years ago, you can check it if you like. the thread actually heated up because of the replies from the skimboarders from tanauan and they were debating who was the first skimboarder. hehehe. malax asked me if my aunt was the bella macayan stokes, well it was her i said.

and here we are skimming our best with a fleet numbering in thousands all over the philippines. hehehe. i feel happy whenever i remember this story..

by the way the red board on the left of this pic is a board from the paint my skimboard contest my first ever board given by my aunt.

this is a relic mutherfuckers. hehehe.


and me riding the board 2003.



skim up and be happy..dudes.

nice one teej!

keep the board safe bro.... thats part of our local skim history...
