Avisala!
One of the reasons why tourists flock to Siargao is because of surfing. Aside from the island's laidback vibe, the community built around surfing has been remarkable. Of course, when we had our chance to visit Siargao last December 7-11, 2023, we didn't miss our chance to try riding the waves of paradise, as Ser Arc (@kev.incredible) had called it. It was our first major activity on the island, as we anticipated it would require a lot of energy. Indeed, even if the activity is just an hour for Php 700.00, it was one of the most strenuous moments of my life. But it was a hundred times more fun!
I was expecting a lot of cuts and bruises from the fall off the surfboard, but I had no cuts or bruises. Many of my friends who tried surfing said you would fall many times and be cut and bruised by the sharp rocks; it didn't happen to us. As long as you fall correctly, there will be no issues.
I thought it would be very difficult to balance on a surfboard, but I was able to stand on my first try. We just followed the instructions of our guides and all of us were able to stand. We had a great time and even got very competitive. Let me just warn you that one hour is more than enough for you to get really tired. No wonder surfers are very fit.
I guess that's all! Enjoy the video!
