If you're a surfer, you've probably heard of Siargao, a tear-shaped island in the southern part of the Philippines. This alluring island has become a popular mecca for surfing. It is the perfect fusion of warm water, world-class waves, and towering coconut trees. Since the sport was introduced to the island, a chill surf culture has developed and permeates this beautiful island. Siargao is famous for many of its many break options not only in the island itself, but also its neighboring places.

The surf is mostly centered in General Luna, where Cloud-9 is located. However, other sports such as Pesangan is a favorite among longboarders because of its mellow nature.
