Smurfing Mati

It’s been 4 years since I traveled to Mati, Davao Oriental. It was flat but we were able to find knee-high waves which lasted for about 30 minutes and that was totally fine considering we weren’t there to surf. Was warmly welcomed by Gabby Sibala, who took us to his favorite spot and lent me his Walden longboard. I also got to hang out with the Dahican Boys and have some merienda in their kubo. Hopefully, I get the opportunity to go back again and score on a good swell!
