Travel Blog: Surfing the Tides of Sabang Beach in Baler Aurora
Looking back on the 3rd Day of my Baler Trip 2017, last Nov.14. I never imagine myself surfing. Like the song, "surfing in the USA". Its so unexpected. I really don't have plans to go on surfing or even learning it. I'm curious but,I know it will be very difficult. Usually, men has more courage in doing extreme activities like sky diving, jet skiing & many more. But, for women, there are some whose brave enough. While, on my part, I need a lot of prayers to try one.

Yes, we are definitely here in Sabang Beach, Aurora Baler, the famous place for surfing area in Luzon because it has continues and strong tidal waves, ideal for people who loves to surf and learn new extreme water sports.
By the way, the name of my Surfing Instructor is Romuel, his a young local baler boy but his already expert in surfing. He teached me the sequence, the step by step on how I can stand & surf. I've practiced every instructions he told me. As we touched the waters. I've put a cross-sign on my forehead and prayed that i'll be fine. I'm so nervous. I'm afraid, I might drawn because I don't know how to swim. And, I'm too fearful of the waves that I might fell on the board. But, I need to conquer my fears. I need to try this activity called, "surfing" . As, Romuel assisted me to get on my board. I started to feel the strong tides. Ofcourse, I drink a lot of salt water because your lying down on the surf board while battling the waves. And, even how many times the waves continuously splashes into my board, into my face and body. We just patiently waited for the right wave to come on my path. Then, Romuel will push & release me.
Actually, I managed to surf 4x for almost an hour. I almost stand up. But, I just kneeled-down. Its too difficult for a beginner to stand especially if you have some weight issue like I do. But, hopefully, next time, i'll managed.
Even, if I'm wounded and my knee is filled with abrasions & blood because I fell on the sand rocks. Yes, its a little painful but its worth it because I learned surfing, not bad for a beginner like me. It is quite a memorable experience. I can't believe, I was able to surf in Baler. One of my bucketlist, that I've achieved. Thanks to my partner JM for insisting and for completing my Baler Trip Adventure 2017. Thank you for coming into my life for letting me experience this kind of adventure for a lifetime. Even, if your no longer with me at this moment.
So, guys if you want to surf in PH. Visit Baler, the travel time is 5 to 6 hrs by Bus from Manila to Baler,if you take the night trip. Just sleep on the bus because the zigzag road as you passed by in Nueva Ecija is quite dizzy and long winding road.
