Hurricane Bill was brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. It struck the Caribbean seas before moving up north to hit the shores of northern United States and Canada. While the rest of the population cower in fear, surfers paddle out for the time of their lives. They are the only select individuals who literally rejoice in the coming of storms for the swell they caused and the waves they bring.
Almost at the time Hurricane Bill arrived on that part of the globe, tropical storm Jolina hit the northern part of the Philippines. It originated from the South China Sea then moved up north to the western part of northern Philippines. Local surfers in San Juan, La Union went bonkers with their boards and indulged in the heavy surf of Urbiztondo Beach. As always happens in times like these, there were good rides, serious paddling, and - broken boards! One of which happens to be mine! Craaaaack!
