The waves are calling, but not everyone is brave enough to answer.
This is why Billabong, the world’s go-to brand of boardshorts and bikinis for beach lovers and surf enthusiasts, is hosting its second all-girls surf camp in San Juan, La Union, from March 15 to 17.
Professional surfer and Billabong Asia athlete Luke Landrigan will show the ladies the ropes, just like he did for an intimate group of 20 last year, which included teenagers and mothers alike.
This is the ideal place to be for those who have always wanted to surf, but were too intimidated to do so. At the all-girls camp, everyone is on the same page, and at the same skill level. They won’t have to feel pressured to immediately coast the waves like they had already been doing so for years.
Aside from learning how to make their way through the breaks safely, participants will also get to know the man who emerged the first runner-up in the longboard division of last year’s Quiksilver Open West Java in Indonesia, and 2009 champ at the Aurora Surf Cup Challenge in Baler and the Nike 6.0 and Global Surf Industries Longboard Pro Invitationals in La Union.
But it’s not only riding the waves and doing some hard work during your stay. By sunset, sweet beats will be provided by DJs Joey Santos and Niki Rojas, who are regulars at party scene and music fests such as last year’s Aloha Boardsports Surf and Music Festival in La Union, Manila Music Festival, and Tagaytay Electronica Festival. Last year they obliged a participant who was into spinning and taught her how to DJ.
Ladies can look forward to Franco as well, who will be making music at the camp.
Fifty participants will be accommodated this year at the Billabong All-Girls Camp. Sign up at www.alohaboardsports.com, e-mail billabongsurfcampgirls@gmail.
