Surfing the coast of San Juan La Union Philippines
Riding the wave is becoming popular to many Filipinos. In fact, there are many rising surfing points in the Philippines. From the Siargo as the the surfing capital of the Philippines to Baler, Aurora, Catanduanes, Zambales and even Ilocos. Do not also miss out on the famous San Juan La Union, the nearest surfing destination to my beloved Baguio City - just a 2-hour drive from Baguio or about 8 km. from Manila. As this is a very interesting and self-fulfilling water sport, why not bring your friends in San Juan! The 9 of us rented a van for PhP 3,500 going to San Juan, not bad because we had a lot of side trips. Checking in at San Juan Surf School established in 2003 by Filipino-Australian surfer Luke Landrigan, was a good choice - decent and affordable. For a maximum of 4 ( or even 5) per room, you'll get a good sleep at a price of PhP 2,400 (check their page for updated rates at www.sanjuansurfschool.ph ). Their standard room is not bad, considering that we are here
