1st Ultimate Uragon Regional Skim and Skate Challenge & Luzon Skim Jam
April 3 – 4, 2010 is when Bicolano & Luzon skimmers and skaters gather to compete in one of the first ever regional skim and skate challenge held in one of Camarines Norte’s Skim havens, Bagasbas beach. An almost two kilometer expanse of flat, fine grey sand conveniently located 10 minutes away from the bustling town of Daet awaits skim aficionados from all skill levels.
The skate event will be held in the Bagasbas Pavilion and an 8km, Mercedes-to-Bagasbas Push race will kick off after that. So, if you think you got what it takes to reign supreme, register for 300php inclusive of event shirt and 2 lunch stubs, for the chance to battle it out with the best and be Bicol’s first skim king and queen.
And when you win, you will not only be featured in the next issue of SPROUT MAGAZINE, an awarding ceremony top billed by Collie Herb, Good Leaf, Dreadknot Used, SteadymovinBeat & Bicol's very own Mudflow, but also get these nifty prizes :

FAQ
1. Transportation
Here’s the best way to get to Daet, the land of gold and golden opportunities:
a. By Bus
The buses going to Daet are located at EDSA.
Amihan – Philtranco pasay station (near mrt taft) (02)387-1792
Philtranco – Philtranco pasay station (near mrt taft) (02) 851-8079 or visit www.philtranco.com.ph
When you get to Daet, just hire a tricycle for 50php for 3-4 pax to take you hassle free to Bagasbas Beach
b. By plane
Take Airphils or etc. to Legaspi or Naga. We recommend Naga because its approximately 2 hours from Daet but if you want to see Mt. Mayon in all its coned glory, then Legaspi is the place to land.
From Legaspi – Take a van to Naga, then take another van or bus, depends on your nomadic needs really, to Daet. The van terminal is located right in front of SM City Naga’s main entrance whereas the bus terminal is situated near the mall’s south entrance.
From Naga – Take a van/bus straight to Daet.
c. By Private Vehicle
Gas up your car and drive to the South Luzon Expressway exit. Manila to Daet is an estimated 6-8 hour drive depending on your engine and fuel level and of course, sheer willpower to get here fast. When you exit the SLEX, it’s pretty much a straight drive until you arrive at Sta. Elena, the Gateway to Camarines Norte, and make a left turn. Then it’s just a matter of minutes til you find yourself amidst the hustle and bustle of Daet. Remember : Gas up. SLEX. 6-8 hours. Practically a straight drive to skim heaven. Sweet deal! .
