Seriously Speaking...- a brief history of UNITED PINOY SURFERS



Long before all clubs came in the picture, these three have been around the surfing scene. They have all seen the changing times, the politics, the crowding of the beaches. Luke Landrigan hailed as the complete surfer and most recently the highest ranking Filipino longboarder, Ian Saguan as the first international longboarder of the Philippines, and Okoy Rojo as the most consistent and holding the highest academical accomplishment amongst the seeded surfers, all three have several times shared the limelight as top ranking pinoy surfers.


THE VIEW FROM THE UNITED PINOY SURFERS RETREAT HULAAN NIYO ANONG BUILDING YAN!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, if you think that this site is all my idea.... think again. It came about with the help of these three top surfers. I have long been wanting some change in the surfing scene.A place and a " brotherhood" where locals could be defended, since they only get to speak out only during competitions and after that they once again disappear. I could not take that, and same thing goes to all of three of them. So with the help of Saint Miguel.... we were able to come up with the idea of putting up a group where hopefully someday could be the voice of all locals. Not just from La union or Baler. ALL.



ANOTHER GREAT VIEW FROM UNITED PINOY SURFERS RETREAT DURING CHRISTMAS FROM THE BALCONY. IT EXPLODES RYT IN FRONT OF US!

Locals do not have the time to go online and write things and advertise themselves. I do. And these three carry the right information all the time. no biases, they think about the local surfing scene in general. In one roof all three of the top surfers of the country and one "activist". We were able to come up with the UNITED PINOY SURFERS. This may be a blog for now, but this group has helped so many surfers all over the country, without asking anything in return. from the booking of flights, down to stopovers, or inquiries. We will not stop advertising the local surfers of the philippines. It is a pledge.





Sorry if I was not able to write anything for a while. PLDT's DSL got all messed up. I just got to get some real connection today. To all the surfers belated Maligayang pasko at " Maligo" sa bagong taon!





LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE OTHER THREE FOUNDERS OF UNITED PINOY SURFERS



Sporting the the victorian inspired Pink Pajama let's give it up to highest ranking pinoy longboarder!!! Luke Landrigan!!! woohoo!!
