This was without a doubt one of the best wake competitions I have had the pleasure to witness in a long time. Partly due to the huge contingent of riders coming from outside CWC to compete. Namely the Manila a.k.a. Lago and Stoked Inc crews as well as the ever loving Davao a.k.a Deca crew. CWC was once again a gracious host and venue for what will be a memorable comp for years to come.

Under consistent 3-4 foot sets rolling into the Mona Lisa Point in La Union, 16-year old Siargao Island local boy PitPit Alipayo threw together an impressive combination of floaters and backside hacks thus successfully recapturing the Philippine top grom title at the 3rd Annual Billabong Grommet Competition, a surf tournament he won two years ago on its inaugural year. It was an all-star final as PitPit faced off with cousin Paul John Alipayo, defending champion Jay-R Esquivel of La Union, and Lanuza ace Azur Laudes, assuring the spectators and surf fans an exciting finale. At the end of the day, it was PitPit’s tactical composition of floaters landed with precision connecting into spraying backside cutbacks that won him the distinction of being the country’s finest young surfer.

Well, it goes without saying that there were a few injuries (without a doubt), a few brokenboards (even more so), a few pregnancies (why am i not suprised), a few busted ego's (yeah man), a grip of photos and videos (document that ish), and a new found love for moving the sport and its riders forward into better things to come.
