SURFER IN SIARGAU CATCHING A BIG WAVE

Surfing Baler in Aurora Province

BALER with smaller breaks is great for beginners and for body surfing. The trip to Baler by bus is over 10 hours on a bus but you'l be traveling to one of the Philippines more scenic spots. Even if you don't surf you will find Baler a great place to enjoy the waves. The locals obviously care about their environment because the towns and surrounding areas clean and free from litter. You really notice the difference when you commence the climb up over the mountain into Aurora province. The Baler Boys, as they are known, have been surfing since the 70s but they're more than welcoming to visitors.

SIARGAO - Official Site

6th Siargao International Surfing Cup

Pansukian Resort Siargao

In the mid 90s we started seeing a growing number of travelers with surfboards heading for this place in the south few of them wanted to broadcast. Now we also have a couple of the resident Siargao cottage and surf board rental owners staying with us as they pass through Manila.
So we had our carpenters build a special storage place on the ground floor of The Townhouse Hotel Manila for surf boards and we have an additional garage space for storing both surf boards and bicycles which our world traveler guests are using. So WELCOME ABOARD. and Make Yourselves "at HOME" on your way to the big waves.

Aurora,Philippines - Surfing

The Philippines is not known for the world's most consistent surf, but it's the world's friendliest with the lowest costs of living. The locals of the Philippines in most cases have no hesitation in sharing their breaks with you if the right respect is shown in return. You need to be somewhat of a pioneer since there are many breaks still unsurfed in the more hard to reach regions while other dream breaks have been surfed by only a few hardy adventurers.
