Kitesurfing, no-gi on the beach and pigface lunch

We got up ealy today to go to the kitesurfing beach. There was wind today, lots of it. We did another two hours of excercises, this time in the water but without the board. We were a little bummed that we didn’t get to try the board, but on the other hand, it was obvious, that there is lots to learn about flying the kite, safety and so on, before one can actually surf. Anyways, we got the basic course down and might do the next step another day if we have time. Otherwise I’ll probably follow up on it when I get back home, lots of kitesurfing going on right where I live.

We just had time for some training in BJJ Boracay before Jag had to go to work, so we walked to White Beach, which has less wind and nicer sand. First place we tried to set up the gym, we got thrown away by a security guard for stealing rocks to hold down the canvas. It ended in a bit of a heated debate between him and Jag, all in Philippine, which I didn’t understand any of ofcourse. We moved to another spot, where the guard was cool with it. We managed to get a good hour of training done, working on some technique and a few rounds of rolling. We gathered quite a big audience, but noone was keen on rolling with us unfortunately. I got the idea to make a new sign for all the salesmen on the beach saying something like “Will buy sunglasses, watches or boattrips if you can beat me in wrestling”. That should get them on the mat.

After training we had Sisig for lunch. It is pronounced “sea sick” and is made from pig’s face. Damn delicious!!

Plan for rest of day: Gi training, skimboard and banana peanut butter shakes.
