NUS Lifesaving: FUN at the Big Horse Land where the NE Monsoon puffed thru the South China Sea

Dear All,
This year Desaru trip is awesome and not the same as previous years..
it could be our last trip there...god knows...
Armed with 5 of our faithful surfboards, 14 body boards, and many pair of fins...

1st day - Friday, 17 Dec 10
so disappointed that the waves were just not there...
It's like in Changi beach where the water is calm and current drifting to the right... but the water was pretty clear and we could see the bottom....
so we just do our usual warming up trainings.

Quite disappointed, we packed up after 4 hours of trainings..

Second day....Sat, 18 Dec 10

So glad to see that the waves are back, but to the newbie ...they are shocked to see such huge waves!!!

The waves were huge, wonderful long stretch spilling waves hitting and pounding the shores continuously... with roars after roars...after every sweeps

The newbie were stunned by the roars of the waves...

The seniors were busy picking up 'jaws' from the beach and help to fix it back to the newbie...

and we need to keep telling them.... "just go... and you will enjoy riding the wave back, if you don't do it, you will forever don't know how to do it and you must learn how to conquer the waves... we are teamNUS Lifesavers ...you know"

So they go....

end of the day.... they are the ones who will benefit .

They enjoyed every moment that they have when they are able to ride the wave back, they sighed when I raised the 1 flag up for all to cease trainings for the day.

You want to ride the wave again....next year, please.

"Sorry, no time for teething problems" said EC after finishing one of the wonderful nature ride back to shore...

MT enjoying every moments that he have with the huge surging wave that he has encountered.
