Eastern Samar

October 1 to 4, 2005. A break somewhere in Samar. Swell, sunshine, no signal, mango ice cream, random karaoke moments, sea urchins, reef cuts, dance-offs and stoke.

Props to the PSF, Pat "Worm" Mateo, Kathy "Sorted Out My Ticket" Chua, the usual gang of crazy surf monkeys, new friends made, and Lui "54-0 Batallion Leader" Tortuya.

To all the Siargao, Baler, Samar, Leyte and La Union boys that paddled out -- big ups! Special thanks to the guys in the line-up with me at low tide.

Low res files. If you want the larger files, hit me up and I'll send them over.
