Siargao April 2005: The First Annual Women's Surf Cup

All action photos shot with a Nikon D-70 April 23-27, 2005. Sixth year in a row, first time in April. Estrogen attacks the Island! Photos have been resized to tiny proportions. If you want copies, holler and I'll hook you up with the hi-res files. * Thanks super much to the DOT for helping me sort things out, Millie and Mox for being great roomies, fellow Tribe Mates at Aman Mamon, Nilde, Manet, Daisy, Marie, Micks and Mox for charging and everyone else for the good vibes! * For really good surf shots of the girls seriously charging, you will all have to wait for Kathy and Pat to post their links cos, let's face it, my lens just cant hack the distance. * For Pino's Photos: http://bohemianrhapsodist.multiply.com/photos/album/10 * I nicked some of my favorites off of those two albums as well. Credited where credit is due. * Love, Peace and Coconut Oil!

Siargao is AMAZING!!! I was there the day before these pics were taken, I even surfed with a couple of those guys Nilde, Jer, Zaldy... those guys rip... I left on Saturday, but looking at your pics I wish I could've stayed. But I'm going back. The island is amazing, the vibe is great, the waves.... I'm definetely coming back (maybe with a bigger board next time -- my 5'8" was just a little to small...)
