I wanted to do some surfing over Christmas in Bacnotan La Union and San Juan La Union - but the waves were too big and the current too strong for my skill level (below sea level!)

So I ended up taking some snapshots.

Regarding the third picture, is she in ankle-deep water? or do I need new glasses?

@ eric

yep, probably she's skimboarding... its another discipline, pretty similar to surfing.

Thanks, Levi. got no knowledge of surfing/skimboarding. Now I know.:Dum:

wow! that would be a 5'4" with no leash - he's snapping!
