Please don't make the same mistake as me and book a trip to Siargao in January. We're getting hit with a lot of heavy rain, thunderstorms, flooding, etc. All the heavy rain causes very poor internet/wifi signal throughout the whole island. Not much to do. All the locals here tell me it's like this during the months of Jan/Feb. I just canceled my stay here and will try booking another destination. Thanks for the video man! 👍

Nice job on the Video. I live in San Juan.. and have a ton of videos on the whole area for surfing, hotels and places to eat. Plus some really great surf footage of The point, Carrille and some other not well known breaks in the area! ;-) Mahalo! Mark

I stayed at Kermit surf resort in the past. They have excellent surf instructors, good accommodation and PIZZA! I hope Siargao will recover quickly, many people rely on tourism.

LaPaz Beach in San Narciso, Luzon is also noted for its surfing. It's about 90 minutes north of Olongapo. There are many smaller resorts but the best by far is Crystal Beach. Folk come from all over the world to stay there and surf. You'll be driving right by our home to get to the beach, so wave "Hi" when you pass. 😁

Both San Juan & Baler are more easily accessed via Clark, which has direct flights from Hong Kong, Korea, Japan & China. This cuts 2-3 hours off the commute compared to Manila. For Siargao, best to fly into Cebu, then take a ferry.

Although I love the beaches, I’ve never tried surfing before. You had me laughing when you said the shallow breakers claim lots of surfboards and chunks of flesh! Lol 😂. I do plan to snorkel and hopefully can get scuba 🤿 certified. Excellent job Evan 👍🏾🇵🇭✌🏾

Siargao for those who haven’t been does have brown outs during the day. But the nicest clear water. Aurora is nice with a big boardwalk, water not so nice. My wife has property there. San Juan can’t really say, it was raining for the 3 days I was there. My pick would be Siargao for the beauty but get a nice hotel with a generator. Hopes this helps.

Just a correction: Cemento's is a reef and you will never find a sign that says Cemento Beach. There is a nice reef break south of Cemento's ... but you have to pay to play. Good video Pare, surf in La Union every year for 2 months a wack.
