Surfista Travels at The Sunshine Fest

 

Last March 17, 2012 Surfista Travels Philippines was invited by The Sunshine Fest Organizers to participate in their beach-inspired bazaar at 121 Restaurant in the Allegro Building Makati. It was a relaxed day in the city (it felt weird because we weren’t out surfing!) as we got to hang out with other people and discover other products that loved the island, beach, and sunshine-y lifestyle.

Surfista Travels had a booth and besides giving out information about the upcoming trips or what Surfista Travels is about and we also sold Surfista shirts designed by Agos Pilipinas, Surfista canvas beach bags & Surfista stickers. We had a lot of Surfista fans who got the shirts! We’re so excited to see them being worn while we’re out surfing or traveling.

Thanks to all the people who dropped by, the Surfista fans who drove all the way to see us, our friends who gave words of encouragement and support and of course the organizers of The Sunshine Fest. The Philippines needs more events like these to encourage entrepreneurs (especially those like us) to spread the word about locally made products and services! Kudos to Crystal Yaptinchay and Nikki Teves (owner of Footzy Shoes) – good job sunshine girls!

La Famille Thomas avec Surfista Travels Philippines

Last March 3 & 4, Surfista Travels had a private group tour with the Thomas family. They are a French family who just moved to Manila last year and are expats. Fortunately at Surfista Travels, we speak French and it was a fun weekend both for them and for us.  The sun was bright and shining (summer is HERE!) and the waves were perfect for learning. The best part they said? Surfing. And the part they liked the least? Going home. It was a great weekend for everyone and it was awesome to show the beauty of the Philippines and the friendly instructors of San Juan Surf School! Here are some pictures and a video to give you a glimpse of our weekend.
