Gloomy Baler weekend for Aya's first despidida. Only one day of surf where it took me an hour to get out during the morning session. Moro, Aya, Dom and I were all on borrowed boards. JB didn't even have a board at all. Then Tin's new board came with faulty screws, which led to the immortal phrase of the weekend "All I need is a long screw." Hahahaha.

The afternoon session had a majority going to Cemento and me, Moro, Del, Raf and Aerika staying behind to surf the beach. By sunset, it was raining haaaaard.

Sunday was pouring down rain and howling winds. So for the first time ever, we were out of Bay's Inn before lunch. And yet it still took us 10 freakin' hours to get to Manila. Why? Well... first there was the rickety bridge incident. Then Raf's front tire bearing decided to call an early retirement. Then Philip's rear tire went flat. I'm just glad nothing more adventurous happened to us (like landslides and getting swept away by the raging rivers).

We are Surfer, even when there's hardly any surf to be had. (We are Surfer is a trademark of Paeng de Leon)
