I was in La Union for the Single and Unattached contest – an event that started five years ago by a guy called Buji – the man at the heart of traditional long boarding in the Philippines. As the name suggests the contest is surfed entirely on single fins without leg ropes, and was held at the long, reeling right-hander that is watched sedately by the fractured Jesus statue.
The first day dawned big and clean, rockabilly notes skittering across the shallow reef ledge and toes found noses for hundreds of metres on end. It was a wild event, fueled by burritos, San Miguel and coffee made by some of the best baristas in the entire archipelago. // Buji - All heart of the Philippine surf scene ?? // photo by
