It's More Fun In The Philippines: Surfing in Siargao

"This dramatic and powerful reef break, which crashes onto shallow razor-sharp coral, offers right and left death rides to those who dare. Those who do will experience a slice of paradise, or magic mushroom-like hallucinations, as the wave wraps over them like a Cornish pasty-shaped cocoon of water. Don't slip, or your skin and bones will be ripped to shreds by the ocean bed," Bremmer wrote about Siargao's famous "Cloud Nine" in the article. -source: CNNGo.com

Surfing. More fun in the Philippines.


Siargao, an island shaped like a teardrop in Surigao del Norte, is the eighth best surf spot in the world. This is according to the travel news website of the Cable News Network (CNN).

The World's Top 50 Best Surf Spots list was compiled by CNNGo writer and "avid surfer" Jade Bremmer. It also used contributions from other professional surfers.

Pipeline in Oahu, Hawaii, which was described as "the daddy of all waves." topped CNNGo's list of top surf spots in the world.

The surfing haven (Pipeline) is located at the island that created surfing, and is one of the heaviest waves in the world. It is said to be scaling over six meters over a shallow base of razor blade table reef.

"It's the site most surfers will never be good enough to surf, but dream of riding its perfect crest," Bremmer wrote.
