More fun in the Philippines.

Surfing is a way of life in San Juan, La Union. Locals and foreigners alike usually rush to Urbiztondo Beach in San Juan to learn surfing or just surf all day.

La Union is the beating heart of surfing in North Luzon, no wonder tourists flock here anytime of the year due to its consistent waves and beach break that seem to go on forever.

Surfing in La Union was reportedly started by a Japanese man who trained the locals to surf back in the 70’s. But it was popularized by Australian surfer Brian Landrigan (father of popular surfer Luke Landrigan) who built a humble 3-room resort here in the 90’s, known today as San Juan Surf Resort. Surfing season in San Juan is year round, but the peak season is July to October due to the South Swell and November to March because of the North Swell. The break here is suitable to beginners, immediate and advanced surfers.
