Lifesaving???

For all you noobies out there. Lifesaving is not about saving lives only. We have competitions also. Yes! Competitions...

you'll probably by saying "what? what do you all compete in? see who can save the victim the fastest?"

FYI, don't be so narrow minded. Well, i guess you could say we sort of save victims.. fake victims that is (manikins) in a way, but that is like less than half of the competition events. Besides the events with manikins (which by the way is totally not easy), there are beach events... running, ski, surfboard, tube rescues, rescue boats

Surf lifesaving, as they term it, originated in australia.. obviously.. hahaha.. since it's such a big thing there, but it isn't as big compared to the rest of the world. Too bad it isn't recognized widely enough. But then again, since it's not TAT recognized, then it's not TAT competitive... which is kinda good... in a way, and kinda not good... in another way.

ok enough of this boring stuff. Go watch the youtube videos and get inspired.. haha.

It's funny how i'm so into it right now. I guess its probably due to watching the surf paddling which caught my attention, and now i really totally wanna get my own board... Yes! i am having serious thoughts on this.. but.. constraints constraints constraints.. no place to store, no car to transport around, and of course, i need the money to buy it

Oh well, i guess in a few years time i hope. I wanna board... even though my boarding kinda sucks now... but i can use the board to paddle also... so it doesn't matter... I wanna board and paddle out into the open ocean and just lie there listening to the watery sound without any disturbance of whatsoever. Away from all the troubles in life, away from all the hustle and bustle city life... aiy...

One day.. one day i tell ya.. maybe i could move to hawaii or australia and lead the laid back lifestyle and just do some paddling or swimming or running when i feel like it....
