You see a lot of difference and inconveniences in Catanduanes. But surfing trip under such a native style is one of the best experience.
You may feel hearty friendship and power of nature here.
1. Majestick
Majestick was featured in Surfer Magazine in June 1988 as a exotic surf point in the Far East. Then, it is a famous please in the world, but we can't get few information's. Now, I introduce here again more details.
It takes 1 hour flight from Manila to Virac and about 1 and half hours drive to Puraran. There are two cottages now and there were three cottages last year before typhoon.

The beach has white sand and shallow lagoon. The best surf point is A. (see map) Powerful right tube breaking on the lagoon gives you a 100m ride from the peak. Take care for the strong current. Point B is also good, but some rocks are behind. You should check the tide condition before getting out. It is the best season in autumn and winter until December. Many typhoons go east side of the island.

2. Around Catanduanes
There are many surf point around this island. Lucky Point, wave size is bigger than Puraran is near from here. You need to charter a boat to get there. Also you can see a lot of points from the mountain pass of Puraran. It is easy to find a new point, I recommend you to charter a boat and look around.
