16 39' 31"N 120 19'12"E This is the best surf spot in northern Luzon and I can usually find enough room to surf my sea kayak away from the surfers. If there is no surf I have to paddle up and down the coast. Everyone along the beach knows me by now and if I paddle too close to the beach I end up doing rolls all day for the locals. If I stay a quarter mile out to sea some of the people grab the family and come out in boats for a private session.

9 43' 47"N 118 27' 18"E I brought over what was left of my retirement account after Wall Street helped themselves to their share. Thanks, Wall Street.
We bought two one hectare/2.5 acre beaches here as an investment four years ago. We will build on one of these lots as soon as the road and electricity are completed in about two years.

We can keep the first lot as the second one's value is climbing like a homesick angel. We just turned down an offer 25 times what we paid for it because it will double in a few years. Thanks, Wall Street. Couldn't have done it without you.

: I realize that this is a kayak building forum but there's such a
: diverse group of people on here from all over the world and I
: thought it would be neat to see where - in the world - you like
: to paddle.

: Here's my suggestion. Find your paddling spots on Google Earth.
: Click on Edit then Copy View Location. Then Paste your
: co-ordinates into a forum posting. To view the posted locations
: - copy and paste the co-ordinates back into the Fly To box in
: the Google Earth Menu bar on the left of the screen.

: Anybody interested?

: If so, I'll start:

: Every Thursday evening from Spring to Fall, we meet here
: 47°35'37.90" N 52°53'12.17" W - for practice and
: conversation.

: Some other favourites include: Cape Broyle - 47°05'12.22" N
