Despite my penchant for
swimming and diving, surfing is something foreign to me. This is why even if my
skin’s still painful and blotchy from our recent Palawan trip, I
seized the opportunity to return to La Union and embrace its tunneling waves.
After all, who says “no” to the idea of having the ocean as your playground?
More than being knowledgeable about boards and waves,
Perhaps
the trip’s highlight was meeting renowned surfer Luke Landrigan and his equally
talented dogs, River and Gunther. Luke’s global accomplishments are
pride-worthy but it’s his lack of arrogance which makes him stand out!
We
similarly visited Halo-Halo De Iloko. It’s a place which fuses exquisite
Filipino desserts with a quaint dining ambiance.
While
the thrill that comes with the sport is unforgettable, what made this trip
truly remarkable was the joy of meeting new friends. Though we were technically
strangers to each other, it didn’t stop us from having so much fun.
If you’re likewise yearning to
play with the waves without shelling out too much, you may coordinate with the
reliable BFF Trips. Since their packages are
all-inclusive (and very affordable!), all you have to do is to enjoy La Union’s
sun-drenched beaches.
