Boronggan Surfer

Carlos Aga, one of the best surfers in Borongan. A legend in Eastern Samar surfing folklore.

A pioneer and pillar of the local surfing community, Carlos is a keeper of secrets -- of breaks and surfing spots from the channels to the outer islands, a lifetime of discoveries made by exploring the 100-kilometer stretch of coastline of Eastern Samar since the 1990s.

“There is a need to change the image of the surfer. People used to look down on surfing because they couldn’t see what it was for. They thought we were just being reckless.”
