La Union, host ng qualifier ng WSL longboard tour sa 2026

Magiging sentro muli ng turismo sa palakasan ng Pilipinas ang La Union sa pagho-host ng qualifying event para sa 2026 World Surf League Longboard Tour. Ang La Union International Pro ay gaganapin mula Enero 20 hanggang 24 sa Urbiztondo Beach, San Juan, kung saan makikipagkumpetensya ang mga pinakamahusay na longboarder sa mundo.

Ang La Union, na kilala bilang Surfing Capital of the North, ay magiging tahanan ng La Union International Pro, isang qualifying event para sa 2026 WSL Longboard Tour. Ito ay ika-apat na sunod-sunod na taon na magho-host ang probinsya ng kaganapang ito sa Urbiztondo Beach, na may mayamang kultura sa surfing at magandang tanawin sa Monalisa Point.

Apat na direktang tiket patungo sa WSL Longboard Tour ang nakataya, na bukas sa lahat ng WSL Longboard Qualifying Series surfers sa buong mundo, batay sa seeding formula mula sa Challenger Series. Noong 2025, nanalo ang lokal na bayani na si Rogelio Esquievel Jr., na kasalukuyang No. 8 sa world ranking, sa ikatlong sunod-sunod na taon laban kay Perry Ventura sa all-Filipino final.

"It will be a real thrill to host an exciting new event," ani Philippine Sports Commission chairman Patrick “Pato” Gregorio, na siyang namumuno rin sa National Sports Tourism Inter-Agency Committee. Dagdag niya, "Our Filipino surfing athletes will surely be preparing to show off world-class skill and homegrown heart on home waters." Inaasahan niyang lalung lumalim ang pakikipagtulungan ng Pilipinas sa WSL habang lumalago ang presensya nito sa global surfing map.

"The event gives Filipino surfers that shot," pahayag pa ni Gregorio. "La Union is a town with such a strong connection to longboarding and a perfect wave for competition." Ang kaganapan na ito ay magpapalakas sa turismo at magbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga lokal na atleta.
