Surfing in Siargao Island
The best part of my trip in Siargao is surfing. It’s actually my first time to surf and I’m very much excited. I even went home early from Island Hopping because I really wanted to try surfing immediately.

The island hopping was supposed to be canceled due to bad weather. Good thing Kuya Roel followed us (like a stalker—haha, just kidding!) throughout the Boardwalk. He then offered to tour us to General Luna, specifically to their boulevard. However, when we arrived and saw the clear sky, we decided to resume our plan.

One of the known surfing spots in the Philippines is Cloud 9. Big surfing competition events are also held here. As what Kuya Roel (our tour guide for the day) said, them as locals doesn’t care about the waves at first. Until foreigners went to visit the place and discovered that it was one of the best spot for surfing. And so it began.

When I arrived at Sayak Airport, I didn’t have any reservations yet. Even so, I had already planned where to stay, and it was a “come-what-may” decision if there were no available rooms at the resort.
