I got an "x"... I am an avid surfer. Surfed Cloud 9 http://www.cloud9surf.com when I was in the PI and other hot Philippine locations. Baler in Aurora was the best... San Fernando La Union had good surf as well, we called the rights there, Philippine Pipeline... Heavy wave, steep and fast...on a 6'day only a few inches above the rocks, have to ride high, or you drag...
My wife is from there ....if it's as good as I hear and the locals don't mind a white boy paddling in with them we may retire there.
Now I'm so stoked I'll have to tell my boss I'm coming down with something and go home......
