La Union, Ilocos Philippines- The much anticipated annual La Union Philippines Surfing Break is scheduled on October 29-31, 2010. On its 5th year, the said event will be conducted in the surfing site Urbiztondo San Juan La Union.

The La Union Surfing Break was conceptualized and launched in 2006 to educate and expose surfing to the general public through proper teaching methods. The schedule is during school semestral break to target students from Metro Manila, Baguio City and nothern Luzon. San Juan La Union which is known as the surfing capital of the Ilocos Region is an ideal alternative surf site in the Philippines. More than its accessibilty especially for those coming from Manila and the southern part of the country, San Juan is endowed with the qualities of a good surfing destination. In this forthcoming La Union Surfing break, this is the surfing transition time in San Juan from the 1st to the 2nd second season when waves are bigger and more consistent.

It is expected to be a fun filled annual event. Although it is intended for surfing enthusiasts, the event also caters to non avid surfers. Organizers of the the previous La Union Surfing Break carried out fun filled activities for surfers and non surfers to include bike competionn, photography contest, surfing clinics, surf board design competition, amazing race, castle building, fire dancing clinics and all day beach voleyball and frisvee games. The same core of activities is expected to be carried out in the forthcoming event.

The holding of the La Union surfing Break in the past three years was a huge success. It has been gaining a marked increase in the number of followers and participants.

The 5th La Union Surfing break is again expected to turn the beach cove of Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union into the likes of one hot summer Boracay getaway.
