La Union's local version of Mavericks


I've always wanted(and have been waiting for the chance) to take photos of the reef break we locals call the Pudok Point. It's located in front of our backyard, About 5 kilometers away. When it breaks, it breaks really big. It's like Mavericks in Northern California - Not exactly the same but similar to it in a lot of ways.

Pudok Point usually starts to break on the 3rd quarter of the year. I hope somedaywe will see big wavers surf these truly amazing waves.

I've always dreamt of taking photos of these majestic waves. To get up close and feel the rush it has to offer. Today, with my ever reliable (though worn-out) camera, I did get a chance to take some photos of Pudok Point. Not exactly like how i dreamt of. Not yet. But for now,  it's my pleasure to share these untouched waves to both surfers and wave enthusiasts. Enjoy

Island Vibes


As early as 5:00am you can catch sweet right and left peelers alone by yourself.


Kuya Angel paddling out at 5am avoiding the morning session crowd. Crowd? no crowd.

This is your morning playground, but  afternoon comes, it would be like this.

Most of the time we're surfing,, so we only have  few surf shots. 
We shoot some good right hand videos and i can't wait to work on it. 

Would like to thank Richard Hunt for the good vibes, laidback style home for 8 days, Kinna Kwann, The municipality of Guiuan, Myoho, Tsu and Yen, and most specially the locals for their warm welcome.

Oct. 4-12 we will be back again to Guiuan, going back  again for the island vibes.
