Poro Point and Bacnotan are good for beginners. But Urbiztondo is the only place with the surf resorts by the beach, and it’s best for both beginners and pros. You can also try bodyboarding, skimboarding, scuba diving and snorkelling. Said Luke: “The Surfing action here actually kicks off in January for the Manila Surfer’s Cup, followed by the Mabuhay Longboard Cup in February or March, which is the longest running international surfing competition in the Philippines, then the Surfing Break between October and November in time for the short school break, and topping off the year’s surf activity is the Rimat Ti Amianan,  a month-long Expo in December with surfing as its highlight. It’s open to all local surfers and you’ll get to see the best of the best surfers. At night, there’s also the beach party.” Read More:   http://www.inflight.ph

Surfing in La Union was said to be established in the late 70′s by a Japanese surfer named Aki Naga. By training local residents to surf, Naga was able to introduce the sport of surfing and provide the people in Urbiztondo a new sense of lifestyle. Slowly more and more locals are picking up the sport and eventually made the art of it something of their own, while quaint surf resorts and businesses opened on the side to tend to all of surfing’s patrons. Since then, the beach has blossomed into a full blown surfing destination welcoming both aspiring and advanced surfers from all over. Today, its popularity has skyrocketed to the point that international industry giant Billabong put up its very own surfing school led by the best La Union locals.  Read More:

Urbiztondo Beach is all about surfing and surfing here is a way of life. Here is where you’ll ride your first wave, here is where you’ll improve your wave riding and here is where you want to spend the rest of your surfing days with. It’s home. Locals, regulars, first-timers – you meet them at the lineup today and they’ll probably be back the next day. Or the next week. Or the next month. It doesn’t really matter, they’ll be back for sure. Back to the capital. Read More: http://lokalsoul.com
