Puraran Beach, an isolated cove in Baras, Catanduanes, has its own swells coming in from the Pacific that break on an offshore reef. The “Majestic” is one of the “fastest, most hollow, and right-handed barrels in the world” (from majesticpuraran.com.ph). The term was coined by Hawaiian photographer Warren Bolster in the June 1988 issue of California-based Surfer Magazine. Locals say that on a good day, the waves can reach more than six feet, and even higher during the typhoon season.

From September to October of every year, the Puraran Surf Camp in Puraran, Baras, Catanduanes becomes a host to advanced surfers and serious seekers of stoke. Many come to see and surf the Majestics, the powerful barreling wave whose beauty is renowned worldwide.

And yet many do not know that the Puraran Surf Camp is not only for seasoned sea-dwellers. Throughout the rest of the year, when swell heights are not as intimidating, the picturesque paradise is a home to a myriad of other fun-seekers, family vacationers, novice surfers and travel enthusiasts.

The Puraran Surf Camp is not for those in search of a mediocre experience. Whatever you go here for, you are guaranteed to leave rewarded, re-energized and fulfilled.

Most people think that Puraran is only for surfing experts, but in fact, it’s one of the best places to learn how to surf! Starting out at a crowded beach where you may get run over by other beginners is not always a fun experience. This is why the Puraran Surf Camp puts much emphasis on one-is-to-one surf coaching at beginner-friendly beach or reef breaks away from the horde. Yes, we encourage beginners to try surfing reef breaks so they will no longer be afraid to try this in the future.

Be assured of both stoke and safety when you are under the care of our surf instructors. They are trained to match each student’s learning pace so beginners won’t feel pressured to stand up on the board right away, or more experienced novices won’t get tired of just being pushed in the white water. In this crowd-free environment, trust that your instructor will be able to listen to you and adjust the lesson according to your skill level. Visit their site at: http://www.puraransurf.com/
