Hello All,
Been a long time lurker here on this board.  Finally made it out to PI. (been two years) I'm in Capiz province right now with family. (no surf!!  ;-(  ) I'm planning on a surf trip to Aurora or Badok island from Aug 29 th to Sept 3rd.  I know how to get there, but wanted to chat on the phone with some locals about the breaks, and be able to call and ask how the current surf is.  Anyone have any contact info for locals in those two area?  

I'm really leaning on Baler for the trip! I'm going to be watching the weather maps/ swell maps to watch for swell and decide last minute!  Any good suggestions for the lodging?  What is the best place to stay in Baler?

Thanks in Advance!  

Cheers,
Tanduay

ey tandauy!

check out www.batangbaler.net for info.

a lot of people like to stay over at bahia de baler if they've got cash to splurge or at bay's inn.

Thanks Kage for the info...   Some new pictures up at that site i hadn't seen yet!  Looks like there is a low pressure creeping up the Pacific side right now!   And the china Sea is boiling!   LU and Badok must be pretty good!   Cant wait to get to one of these places soon!  (Aug 29th  )

Cheers,
Tanduay

hi tanduay... hope you're havin a grand time there in your province.. im just here in manila when you get here... beep me up or somethin.. ill try and hook you up with some other surfers here... have you talked to alvin yet? i havent heard from him since i last went to daet.

anyway, have a great time in the p.i., sir...

Hi Shadow,
I have contacted Alvin, called him last week.  Heavy rains there in Daet have prevented him from checking on his equipment!  But we are in contact via Cell and Land line.  Thanks for the contact info!  

I'll hit you up while in Manila!  i got your cell phone # , so i'll just text ya!  Probably hit you up after i get back from Baler!  Looks like Baler is getting some good swell from Typhoon Aere.  Looks like The Typhoon in back of Aera wont get close enough to generate any swell.  

Is there anyone out there in Baler now?  sure like to know what the wave heights are today?  Alvin, how is Daet doing?  Aere give you any swell?

Cheers,
Tanduay
