LA UNION HOSTS RP NATIONAL SURFING MEET
San Fernando, La Union, Dec. 12, 1997 - Champion surfers from Baler, Daet, Catanduanes and Siargao, Surigao are in Urbiztondo, San Juan, La Union, to participate in the Quicksilver Philippine National Surfing Championships which begin tomorrow.
The 3-day competitions are supervised by the Australian Surfing Association and the International Surfing Association.
Organizing Committee secretary general Joseph Dumuk said the weather conditions are currently perfect for holding the competition; the days are clear and cloudless and good waves promise to be very challenging for the competing surfers.
Roy Norris of Australia has pooled prizes, such as brand-new surfboards, for the winners in the Open, Junior and Cadet categories.
La Union Governor Justo Orros Jr. and San Juan Mayor Ruben Valero have mobilized their offices and staff for full cooperation and coordination with the competition's organizers.
