Lanuza Fiesta


I was asked by Mayor Jerry of Lanuza to provide them with a Cebu-based showband and i took it right away as an opportunity not only to attend the fiesta but also to finally surf Lanuza.
Luckily, i was able to book Firstep - one of Cebu's top showband. We left Cebu last June 10 and as expected the trip going there was tough... overnight by boat from Cebu to Surigao then 3 hours land trip from Surigao to Lanuza. Upon reaching Lanuza, i toured the band around the town and had a really nice dip at Magkawas Falls.
At night, we had a chillaxin nipa wine session at Bayod Bar & Grill.
Early morning the next day, i tagged along Pido (Lanuza's Junior Champion Surfer) and his brand new motorbike to Badjang and had some few rides after a long wait for the nice sets to arrive. Got some few cuts due to a very low tide but i don't mind the blood... sayang ang sets!
Late in the afternoon, we tried to catch waves under the rain at Doot Poktoy Sandbar. It was nice to be able to get a few rides even if they consider it a flat season.
At night, the band had a blast in the town plaza. I wish we could bring Firstep again this November for their annual surfing competition.
