Surfing The Amazing Wave of Surigao City

PLANNING a route this summer or escape in a romantic seclusion?

Stand on a surfboard in the oceans of Surigao. Unknown to many, the extreme sports of wave surfing has change the tourism landscape in Mindanao. From Siargao, General Luna and Lanuza down to Tandag, coastal towns and cities with hurdles of Speedo wearing adventurers ride the waves under the heat of the sun and at night simply stargazing with the elements of air from the breath of the Pacific Ocean.

Days ago, the CNNGO.com, came up with a No. 8 ranking for Surigao as the “world’s top 50 best surf spots”. A recognition that helps pumped the needed tourist receipts to the countryside.
As the sun dips out of sight, couples on the beach with Havaianas sandals and Project Rudy goggles splurges on San Miguel Light Beer and Barbecued Chicken making a leap of difference from what used to be a fisherman’s village.

Wave surfing take us to the next generation of world travelers with less cash on hand but carries a bundle of plastic credit cards to settle their holidays from their debit accounts in France, New Zealand, Australia or Japan.

These nations’ ranks among the loyal and regular new market niche for special interest groups attracted to the cocoon like waves.
We cannot wait for March till October having fun all summer long. Oceans, rivers and streams in the Philippines have all been touched by man. Stakeholders in Surigao are forewarned that development should be controlled as we learned a lesson in Boracay of overcrowding and stretching the island’s resources to the limit driving prices high.
