sandbar for breakfast

Took a little trip up the coast this weekend with a few friends to catch some uncrowded waves. Blueys, boomerang, sandbar, boti boti. pick your break. unfortunately Seal rocks was flat. amazed by how clear and blue the water is up there, like surfing in a pool. Surf was good. water warm and everyone got to play. We stayed in a cottage at Boomerang beach, the beach I almost died at 4 years ago. getting into waaay to big waves. no near death experiences this time, although some of the heaviest wipeouts I´ve felt.

time to plan the next trip. yaaa.

The Philippines 2011

The Philippines 2011

On our way from Sydney to Stockholm, we thought we’d take a detour via a small remote island to surf and explore the unknown for a bit.
With a massive typhoon warning for the area, we found this paradise with some solid 8 ft waves the first day easing down to some less “hairy” top to bottom barrels for the time we stayed. This is Siargao island of the Mindanao province in the Philippines.
