hi everyone,

have a friend i met surfing in hawaii a few years ago and wants to visit the philippines around july-august. she wants to go on a boat-surf trip around the SEA region. any suggestions as to where to start would really help  

mayumi,ei!whats the size of the boat?remember july-august are typhoon season!!

One can go boat-surf trip at Camera Island. Locals will accompany.

...boat trip? hows the set-up? ..in northern Luzon area, boats are usually small.. most of them are good for 6-8 person only. (16Hp boats or so)....larger fishing boats can accomodate more than 10 person.(C240 engines and up)

for smaller boats they usually ask about Php100 per hour. (negotiable)
bigger boats ask around Php3500 or more..
..sama kami sa boat trip!

thanks for the info   i was wondering if anyone knew of boat trips that we can take around the South East Asian region, aside from the Philippines..?

i was thinking of letting my friend fly here then go to Bali after we go around the 'Pinas. problem is its typhoon season those months. Guess I'll have to figure out if August is a good time to come over

and dont think its going to be a breeze sailing the waters of the region, naval piracy is a real concern in the seas of southeast asian countries, especially in the waters of phils and indo  

..they are strict about the naval policy down south but upnorth there's not much sea police. that's why we have plenty of those smuggled goods in the ilocos region. want motorbikes? how bout TVs? , mountain bike? hehehe... ...filipinos are the "pinkamakulit" in the international waters there upnorth. they have those smaller but faster boats and they usually trade smuggled goods for fish.. ..naimbag nga aldaw yu amin..
