#114 The fun of surfing

Went to Baler, Aurora two weekends ago. Except from the movie starred by Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis, a few years back which I haven't seen, i have no idea about the place. Together with two office friends, were off to discover one of the country's finest surfing spot!

Its an 8 hour bus ride off north. Genesis transport is the only bus company that plies the province as of now and the terminal is located at Cubao, along EDSA.


You will normally pass the normal route north, the NLEX, SCTEX and then Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, pass thru the Pantabangan area (the famous dam!), Castaneda, Neva Vizcaya, then finally, Baler! One thing about provincial folks, they love stopovers (we have three hehe)

Baler is the capitol of the Aurora province. Located on the northwestern part of the Philippines, Philippine Sea to the west gives the best swells and paradise to the surfers. Though summer is not a good time to surf haha, as we found out. Waves are not that big, but still enjoyed every moment! Sand, sea, surf, friends and a drink... Ahh life!
