Siargao
One of the well-known surfing spots in Siargao and the Philippines, with a reputation for thick, hollow tubes is "Cloud 9"
Siargao
is a tear-drop shaped island in the Philippine Sea situated 196
kilometers southeast of Tacloban. It has a land area of approximately
437 square kilometres (169 sq mi). The east coast is relatively straight
with one deep inlet, Port Pilar. The coastline is marked by a succession
of reefs, small points and white, sandy beaches. The neighboring islands
and islets have similar landforms.
This right-breaking reef wave is the site of the annual Siargao Cup,
(Watch the 2018 Siargao Cloud 9 Surfing Cup-final highlights)
a domestic and international surfing competition sponsored by the
provincial government of Surigao del Norte. The wave was discovered by
travelling surfers in the late 1980s. It was named by American
photographer John Seaton Callahan after a chocolate bar of the same name
and was featured in the United States-based Surfer magazine in March
1993.
This surf trip to Siargao Island was named by Surfer as one of the
"Ten Best Surf Trips of All Time" in 1995.
Cloud 9 also has a reputation for being a relatively cheap
destination for surfers with many
accommodations, restaurants, and bars to choose from. There
are several other quality waves on Siargao and nearby islands, but Cloud
9 has received more publicity than any other surf spot in the
Philippines. While it is not the only wave in the Tuason Point and
General Luna areas easily accessible via the long pier from the
shoreline and without the need for a boat, it is easily the most
popular, leading to overcrowding and the nickname of "Crowd 9" among
surfers. Siargao, particularly the municipality of General Luna and the
Tuason Point area, is well known as
"The Surfing Capital of the Philippines" with a reputation
among surfers within the Philippines and the International scene.
There are several islands located off Siargao. The islands in Del Carmen include Guyam Island, Pansukian or Naked Island (a sandbar), and Daku Island. These are typically included in island-hopping tours that are popular activities being offered to tourists visiting the island. Learn more in wikipedia
