MLOB surf ambassador and Stokedinc. surf rider Lorraine Lapus took the shortboard and longboard championship crown at the recent Siege of Baler 2: Pangalawa na ‘to Pake last November 24 to 25, 2012.
A certified surf instructor for the Philippine Surfing Academy, Lorraine has been surfing the waves in the Philippines for 8 years making her one of the female surf icons in the country. Pulling out some graceful moves in her surfboard, gliding over the perfect peeling waves of Sabang beach, Lorraine made sure that she will be able to take home the title for invitationals, both on shortboard and in longboard category.
