Cloud 9 is the ultimate destination in the Philippines for surfers.  It is the most popular surfing spot in the country and is the venue for the annual Siargao Cup which happens between late September to October.  Siargao is open to local and foreign participants and is the first and longest-running international surfing tournament in the Philippines.

What makes Cloud 9 a favorite among seasoned surfers is the thick, hollow tubes and barreling right-hand waves that can reach up to 5 to 6 meters high.  The waves in Cloud 9 has been described as a deathride and are forceful thus recommended for advanced and expert surfers only.

Cloud 9 was featured on Surfer magazine in 1993 and was listed 8th in the World’s Top 50 Best Surf Spots by CNNGo.
