Lanuza days!!!

The proof. L-R- Mahdam, Geraldine and Zeny. Mahdam was the first ever beer drinking contest champion women's division in Lanuza. 1st runner up would be Zeny of PSF and third is Geraldine the "banig and Bamboo" board shaper. the year after I wasnt able to compete so Zeny competed as the defending champion. Hahaha.

Lanuza is very dear to me... The first time I went there was

only their 2nd Lanuza surf festival, It was actually that time when they first had Luzon competitors invited. the first ones to have ever been invited to compete and made it there were, Luke Landrigan of La union, Rommel " Okoy" Rojo, Edmund " dyango" Mendoza and Joel " Brother" Faraon of Baler. Mayor Jerry Irizari and his wife Ms. Joy Irizari have become one of our closest friends in the surfing community, ever so gracious to all competitors from all over the country, that's why we never hesitate to give them a hand whenever they would need us.

Now the schedule is up! Mayor Irizari sent me the site where you would find all answers to your questions regarding the competition. Lanuza is breathtaking. If saying the usual line " locals there are friendly" is passe, well I should say... That line truly belongs to lanuza wherein even the Mayor is your friend! See You there!
