Surfin' in La Union!

One of the entries in my 2014 bucket list was ticked off last January 25-26, 2014 when I was able to visit La Union and of course do some surfing!

San Juan, La Union | January 2014

Well, it's actually been like a year when I first tried surfing somewhere in Calicoan, Eastern Samar and it's definitely one of the best days in my life.


When I did try surfing again in La Union 2 weeks ago, I've really totally forgotten how to ride the board and the waves. HAHA! So, I was back to surfing 101. Basically, from what I got from my instructor, there are just a few things that you need to remember to be able to stick onto your board:

1.) Well, you have to be able to stand and balance on your board.
2.) Lean forward when you feel like falling.
3.) Believe in yourself that you can do it! (This one's a tip from me HAHA!)

Actually, the believing in yourself part is like 90% of your total self when you're waiting for the good waves and preparing to stand on your board! I'm no pro and I'm not a sporty person but since I have overflowing confidence in myself and more than 100% faith in my God, I was able to ride the waves and did actually enjoy surfing in La Union!!!

Baler is my next stop this year! Who's coming with me? :)

P.S. I would like to thank Mae (@callmemaevi) and her family for adopting me in La Union!!!
