I easily get addicted with things. Shopping, Traveling and now Surfing. We have been back and forth to San Juan, La Union one of the closest surfing spot in Luzon.
It is actually a long drive, 6-7hrs from Manila and fortunately I don’t know how to drive. Hahaha! Good thing “Tamamot” – our car, is automatic. We usually leave at around 3-4am and arrive at San Juan before lunch time.
We have tried staying at Lola Nanny's and Hacienda Peter, and I recommend the latter because of the place and the price. Ate Pacita is very accommodating and she gives big discount. I would also like to stay at Sebay Surf and San Juan Surf Resort.
There are lots of food joints in the area, we have tried Lola Nannys, Sea Nymph Cafe and Sebay Resort. One of the most recommended is the Midway Grill, however, you have to drive going there.
The lessons in San Juan is Php400 - board and instructor included making it Php50 more costly than that of Balers. They also have a whole day rate Php800, but board only. I recommend Kuya Nano's Team for surfing lessons. I think they have the same rate with Luke Landrigan's Team but you know, I'd go for some low profile and Luke's already rich! :)

to strengthen their knees? :)
The waves here are more subtle compare to Baler, but it is less salty. Baler have spectacular sunrise but La Union offers to die for sunset.
as raw as you can get :)
Tina! I love this sunset shots you have here. Grabe, tama ka nga, it is one of those places that has to-die-for sunsets. Never set foot in la union and this surfing thingy makes me wanna come here and experience this myself.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see you on the road. Thanks for this.
I recently joined a surfing trip from this tour organizer and you might want to check it out plus their a side trip bonus going to Pugad adventure in Pugo, La Union where you can try zip line, wall climbing, rappelling, tire tubing, atv, target shooting and more

ReplyDeleteoh wow! ang ganda ng kulay ng sunset sky. the best. :)
ReplyDeletewish i could go back to la union and just surf. was too darn scared the first time i was there. hehehe
ReplyDelete400 pesos is pricey to me. Sabagay po you are paying for the experience and the skill of the instructor.
ReplyDeleteI gotta try surfing for the first time hopefully here in La Union or otherwise in Sabang, Cabugao,
Hacienda Peter offers good rates for decent rooms! I've shacked in Sebay as well (cause at that time we didn't have much choice), a bit too pricey but uber comfy rooms. Their resto serves awesome food by the way!
ReplyDeleteNice family bonding! It's more fun in the philippines
