SIARGAO...

Once a quiet tear-drop shaped island part of Surigao del Norte...

From Surfing SIARGAO

Now a well-known surfing meca of the Philippines... and mind you, it is becoming more popular because of the world-class surfing barrel and having a good reputation for thick, hollow tubes called CLOUD 9.

From Surfing SIARGAO
I never thought before that surfing would come into my reality...=)

Party has always a chance in this ISLAND

From Surfing SIARGAO
One of the sweetest smiles I ever saw.

From Surfing SIARGAO
You'll see how hospitable the Filipinos are...as bright as these colors under the sun.

The wave was discovered by travelling surfers in the late 1980s. It was named and made famous by American photographer John S. Callahan, who published the first major feature on Siargao Island in the United States- based Surfer magazine in March 1993, and hundreds of his photos in many other books and magazines since his first visit in 1992. Callahan has put the island on the international map and has drawn thousands of surfers and tourists to Siargao. Cloud 9 also has a reputation for being a relatively cheap destination for surfers with many cheap accommodations and restaurants and bars to choose from.

-According to Wikipedia

Since I come closer to this island, I realized that it is not only Boracay that was blessed with tropical Island richness, but instead...it possesses a unique charm that any one who would visit this laid-back paradise will definitely be enchanted.
