I had the great pleasure of being the Head Writer and Host for two World Surf League events in the Philippines: the La Union International Pro last January 22-28, 2024, and the Baler International Pro last February 1-7, 2024. Both events had QS3000 (shortboard) and LQS1000 (longboard) divisions. Event articles were published on the United Philippine Surfing Association (UPSA) website.
