The Return Post: Bad Weather, Cancelled Trips, and Good Surf

Here back on this blog. Its been so long since I have done any writing so please excuse me for lack of prep. Abandoning this place may have not been the best choice but its never too late to come back. I guess Ill start with a little info on whats been going on the past few weeks.

So my ultimate goal of the summer was to score some big surf in the Philippines. Many of my friends from there always told me how the beach break I went to earlier in the year goes off in the summer with the Southern swells from the South China Sea.I always planned on making it back out there when this happened.

The last time I went Pundakit. Cold Front Swell from the North.

When I recieved news that the first solid swell would be hitting Pundakit last week all I could focus on was getting to that beach before it arrived. I had the miles for the ticket my cousin was down and it all looked like it was happening. But the goal was shattered when I found out that bad weather and thunderstorms would be arriving with that swell. I cancelled my trip and decidedItry gowhen the weather got a little better. A very smart move as the news came out that floods and landslides plagued many parts of the country that week. I was feeling a little bummed but I knew it was the smarter move.

The next day I saw on the forecast that the same storm that was in the PI might just send something here at home. As the days passed the swell looked better and better on the forecast. The day came when it arrived and the scoring began. Three solid days of surf. My buddy Matt got some shots of me below. As you can see I couldnt complain. While my trip back to the Philippines didnt happen and I missed the swell there I was still fortunate to get something back home.

I love being in the shade

Good surf...

While it was all good for me I still want to send my prayers to all those affected by the storm in the Philippines. The weather is still bad and people are still in need of help there! I pray for their safety

Back to blogging...
