Cloud 9 as Surfing Paradise in General Luna - Siargao Island

 

 

 

Cloud 9, seems to be familiar brand for Pinoy and Yes! if you think about the renowned chocolate here in the Philippine, that's the one 😁. If we remember correctly, these brand uses stunts in its advertisement that actually catches consumers attention. These turned into an renowned expression here in Philippines, instead of saying stunts or "Pahanga" which in bisaya "Pasikat", we use pa Cloud 9 (x2) ahahaha!

So, as 90s gen, we believe the name of this spot was inspired by that expression, considering the spot is one of the best surfing spot in the world. Cloud 9 is located at the end spot of General Luna in Siargao Island of Surigao del Norte.

An admission fee of 100php is required and 500php for 3 hours surfing board rent with instructor training. If you are thinking about the crowd, that depends on its season. September to November would be the crowded because it is surfing season and some festival happening on the Island.

If you are not yet ready to try surfing, you can still enjoy by simply watching others trying to surf and those Professional Surfer having its training. Yes! It is really fun to watch that several people now in the Philippines wants to surf.

Wondering if children can surf ?
They can, since small long boards and skim boards are available for children but toddlers can only watch unless if they are accompanied by their professional surfer parents 😄. Our baby as shown below really enjoy surfing and looking at us as if we are a surfer parent and honestly we are not but we want to try it ahahahaha!
