Ditey sa Baler (Part 1)

It was June 12, Independence Day 2015 when me & my friend went to Baler, Aurora. Our target is to learn how to surf.  It's both our first time so we are very enthusiastic.

We rode a Genesis AC Bus in Cubao for P450 each.  Travel time is 6 hours with 15-30 minutes stop over.  We then rode a tricycle across the bus terminal going to our hotel. We stayed at Costa Pacifica overnight which costs us P5000 ++ with breakfast for two.  Food was okay but the room was great.

We spent our afternoon at the beach.  We hired somebody to teach us the basics of surfing. He charged us P500 for an hour session. We asked him if we can share the session for 30 minutes each and he agreed.

Here are some surfing 101 :)

First position 

Then this.

Make sure that your arms are firm and your legs are stable when going up.

Do not be afraid. Be confident in standing up so that you will not fall.

Make sure to spread your arms a little to give you balance. 

Be brave enough to overcome the waves that you will face. And most of all - have fun :)

Never get tired of trying. Don't give up until you finally succeed :)

You will have the most rewarding feeling once you see the fruit of your labor. But also be prepared for body aches and  bruises :)

After surfing, don't forget to have good food at Baler Surfer Grill. This place is a "must visit".
