So, surfing is still alien to Filipinos. Philippines is a basketball fanatic country. How I wish surfing could also be known more. I had my first experience last year and believe me you'd get hooked to it. After 9mos I had my experience to surf for the first time at La Union last November 06. Check out the photos! :)
At 2am, we rode the Genesis bus in Pasay, Edsa beside SoGo Hotel. We rode a bus instead of bringing a car because we thought it was cheaper and less tiring. We paid 445 for each person. Not bad! The trip lasted for 7hrs instead a 4hr car trip. Oh well we're not in a hurry. ;)
We rode a jeepney going to the resort. The place is at San Juan, La Union specifically. The jeepney ride cost around P7 or P8 per person.
The resort was 10mins away from the bus station we're we got off. We decided to stay at San Juan Surf Resort.
Here's the place! :) The place and the people we're all nice. The best thing is, the resort is located in front of the beach. We found out that the famous Luke Landrigan a pro-surfer and his Dad owns the place.

For the accomodation, a bedroom for 4 costs P2,000 includes a free breakfast. :) Check in time is at 1pm and check out is at 1130am. The food was great! They keep on saying the food is good for only one person but actually it was already good for 2. Worth it!
The resort also provides lessons and board rentals for surfing. An instructor's fee is P200 per hour and the board rental is P200 per hour. :) We decided to have both especially that we're still beginners even though we surfed before. :)
My brother loving the waves :)
It's me!! Surfing! Believe me that once you learned how to paddle and stand on a board you'll never unlearn it. *Based on experience :)
I want my own long board. Brother, with an instructor. :)
Chilling with my brother's girlfriend and her brother. :D
It's River!! The cutest labrador in town! This dog is like his owner, Luke. Both looked chill and nice. Lol. :))
My FIRST photo taken with a famous person. Luke Landrigan. My face looked really fat here. :( Oh well... Haha!
Our stay there was splendid!! Though me and my brother got bitten by an insect which we didn't know were we got it. :| Lol. Going home, we rode a jeepney then the Genesis bus again at 2pm. The trip going back to Manila lasted for 9HOURS. :( I don't know why, but I think it was the fact that they keep on getting passengers along the road and we take the longer route. :| Oh well... :P
Oh, before I forgot our budget was 2.5k per person but I guessed it wasn't enough we actually spend around 3k for everything per person. I guess we overspend because we ate too much and we had 3hrs all in all for surfing. :)
Nice waves Nice people nice place. What more could you ask for?
