La Union hosts national surfing competition
SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union, Oct. 7 (PNA) – Surfing enthusiasts from all over the country will compete in the La Union Surfing Break, an annual surfing event, slated on October 24 to 26 at the Ubiztondo Beach in San Juan, La Union. The three-day competition will be sponsored by the provincial government of La Union, the Department of Tourism (DOT)-Region I, the Municipal Government of San Juan and the La Union Hotels, Resorts and Restaurants Association. The La Union Surfing Break was launched in 2006 to educate and expose surfing to the general public through proper teaching methods. Timed during the schools’ semestral break, the target market of the event are students from Manila, Baguio and other Northern Luzon cities. Among the three other well-known surf sites in the Philippines – Siargao in Surigao del Norte, Baler in Aurora and Daet in Camarines Sur – La Union is the most accessible for those coming from Manila. The event could turn the beach cove of Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union into the likes of of Boracay in one hot summer. Proving to be successful for the past two years, the La Union Surfing Break has positioned La Union as the Surfing and Active Lifestyle Holiday Destination of the Philippines. Now on its third year, not only will there be the usual surfing but such other beach activities as ‘Ultimate Frisbee’, ‘Wall Rock Climbing’, Beach Volleyball, clinics and tournaments.
