When I tried surfing for the first time in Siargao Island, I told myself to try it to other places. We have a surfing spots here in the Philippines even my hometown Southern Leyte have it. Isn't amazing? I can't wait to try it on there, but I heard there are no pro surfers and the swell are crazzzzy! We'll see, I am still planning tho.
My first plan was to try the surfing in La Union and didn't happened. So I push through with Baler instead. There is something with the place that I wanted to visit for some reasons. First time solo in a trip to North Luzon. Read my Haler, Baler post here.
Here are the photos shot by Go Pro:

When no one can't take photo of you.
But eventually asked someone to take photos of us while listening to the instructions.
Getting ready.
My surfer instructor, surfs up! \m/
I was really, really, really excited to go on board and test the waves. We tried the other side for lesser people, but the waves were crazy, so we just have to join on the same spot where the people are also enjoying their beach time.
While waiting for the waves selfie.
After many long rides, (yes... long rides) I asked the instructor to take photos of me doing my own thing of course it will starts on paddling. I really had so much fun and most of the time laughing, I don't know I felt so awkward or whatever.
Ugh. I was happy-tired.
One last try. Unfortunately, the burst shots was not good, I should have set it into video instead of photos. :( Anyway, I still had fun riding the waves for almost two hours! Gosh, I didn't notice that.
Advantage: No corals and the beach is sandy. You don't have to worry about having reef cuts.
Disadvantage: You can't enjoy the long rides because there are kids on the shore and you have to jump off your board or else you will hit them. :(
Over all, I had fun!
I'm still planning of going back to Siargao Island since it's near our hometown Southern Leyte. :D
