An Unwavering Legacy: The Surfing Spirit of Siargao
Initiated in 1994 by former Governor Lalo Matugas and former Mayor Jaime Rusillon, Siargao International Surfing Cup is a project by the Municipality of General Luna in partnership with the World Surf League, the global body that oversees various international contests towards naming the World Champions across divisions. It has evolved into a symbolic testament to the island’s surfing prowess and its tight-knit community. This year’s edition promises to be a multicentric celebration of surfing culture, values, and community, as pro international surfers gear up to challenge the formidable waves of Siargao in a bid for the WSL Men’s and Women’s QS3000 International Surfing Cup.
