| Surf + great bands + good vibes = perfect stoke!! |
There's no storm in the Philippines but the streets are flooded and dams are overflowing. And it's unusually cold today. This kind of weather makes one sleepy and somnolent. But the moment I saw this poster in facebook, it felt like I just drank two cups of brewed coffee...oblivious to the gloomy weather outside.
I didn't attend the Surf & Summer Festival last year and I regret it to this day. Only a tsunami or the reschedule of the bar exams will make me not attend this event.
The line-up of bands, by itself, is enough to make the road trip up north worth it -- especially Up Dharma Down, Razorback, Wolfgang, Franco and Urbandub!!! But surfing made this so much more than worth it that missing it should be considered a crime against your soul.
I can already imagine the picturesque scene - whitewater crashing in the foreshore, the smell of salt water in the air, the sound of guitars, bass, drums, and vocals blasting from the amplifiers, beer in hand, people grooving to the music, enjoying the moment, and most of all -- surfers getting stoked!!!
Kudos to Aloha Boardsports for organizing this event!
