Evidenced
by a host of local and
international surfers flocking
to the island, Siargao has been
regarded one of the top surfing
waves in the world.
Nicknamed “Cloud
Nine,” this reef wave is the
site of the annual Siargao Cup
– a domestic and international
competition sponsored by the
provincial government of Surigao
del Norte.
The
surf in the island has been
featured in a number of surfing
magazines around the globe,
including the US based SURFER
magazine in 1993.
This provided the impetus
of the influx of tourists in the
area.
There are also a number
of breaks lining the coast, but
one inevitably turns to Cloud
Nine to ride the “perfect
wave.”
This is Siargao. It is the surfing capital of the Philippines.
