Cloud 9 Surfing

Siargao is known as “The Surfing Capital of the Philippines”. I’ve mentioned Cloud 9 few times here in my blog because Cloud 9 in Siargao really is good for boardwalks and surfing.

So if you are going to Siargao, surfing would be part of your bucket list. If you are afraid, hire a professional surfer to teach you. In life, you have to face your fears as John Barrow once said “If you never try, you’ll never know”. Reminder, do not surf when it is low tide.
