Oops Okoy did it again!- Eastern Samar Surfing Challenge

Fresh fresh news!... The awarding is still going on.... The Boys are still there... but i have the results ready for you already!

Okoy proves himself once again!!! Grabbing the 2nd runner up title for the Eastern Samar Surfing Crown. Okoy was actually the first surfer who won the Championship title from this town called GUIUAN in 2002, and now proves himself worthy of another title. Although he did not bag the Championship title once again for his come back, his victory is worth just the same since he has been away from the surfing circuit for two years, as he had to take the licensure exams, and yes, passed it. Just as soon as he was about to compete again, He had a vehicular accident on his way home to Aurora, to supposedly compete for the 10th Aurora Cup. He may have been dismayed by it, but Okoy, determined, did his best to recover as soon as possible from his head injury, just so he could surf once again.

There were only 5 Surfers from Luzon who competed against the " waray" and " Bisaya" surfers. Arnel Hermosura from La union, and Edmund " Dyango" Mendoza made it up to the quarter-finals. Argie " Badboy" Hugo and Joel " Brother" Faraon, both from Baler, Made it up to the Semi- Finals. It was only our own Rommel " Okoy" Rojo", who made it to the finals, competing against 3 siargaonons.

The waves were huge, according to my source, even the top surfers would at times have to throw their boards and dive their way in to cross the huge waves instead of the usual duck dive. While the Waves got huge, so did the white water. The sets were from 4 to 6ft. with outrageous white water that goes double overhead. The Final heat was intense, Eventually the scores were tallied and the close fight, finally came up with rankings.

The Result:
CHAMPION: Dionisio " Dodo" Espejon ( SIA)
1st runner-up: Bonifacio " Arkipo" Figuron (SIA)
2nd runner- up: Rommel " Okoy" Rojo (AU)
3rd Runner-up: Alex " Al-Al " Commandante (SIA)

Salute to Dodo, Arkipo and Al-Al for an overwhelming display of your skills in surfing!
As for the Luzon surfers, although outnumbered, fought hard until one found his way to the finals. Rommel " Okoy" Rojo definitely made his come back a proof and a very good example to all grommets,"put schooling your first priority your surfing could tag along with it, but if trapped to make a decision and choose between the two, choose schooling first because if you really have the "it" for surfing then you're definitely gonna find your way back in and still win". CHEERS TO THE UNITED PINOY SURFERS !!!
