Walk of Hope Update : Flat Skimboarding and Painting on Skimboard tomorrow Sunday in Bayawan City, Philippines
All set for all these competitions tomorrow in Bayawan
All of today was spent coating all the skimboards headed by @flabbergast-art and Tatay Dagsa. Helped by a few kids from around the area who will also be competing with Skimboarding. By the look of things, some of them have already chosen which boards will they be using.
Very well if that's how it works!
The preparation
Last thursday, plywoods were brought and cut-off shaped as skimboards to be prepared. As they're flat, they needed to be bent at the front for easily navigation. To do this, large stones were put at the tips to help bend the front part of the wood.
Ideally, these stones need to be left for at least 48 hours, but this depend on the thinness or thickness of the wood. The thinner they are, the shorter the time to bend them.
These boards this morning were coated, ready for the painting competition tomorrow.
The boards were rained on these past 2 nights so they needed to be dried properly and were under the sun for some time this morning.
With so much space on the island in the boulevard, what's a better place to put them? Plus its' accessibility to Tatay Dagsa's cafe.
Walk of Hope's banner
Knowing Marlon aka @flabbergast-art, tomorrow's banner of the project nor Steemit Philippines is non-existent. His solution?
