The 28th Siargao International Surfing Cup QS5000


The 28th Siargao International Surfing Cup QS5000


The Philippines' premiere right-hander is about to host something massive, and we're not just talking about the usual Cloud 9 sets. Siargao is rolling in its biggest event yet. 


This WSL event is the first QS5000 international surfing event gracing Siargao shores. The Qualifying Series (QS) is where surfers battle it out for a shot at the big leagues. The QS5000 is where things get serious: more points, bigger prize purse, and the kind of career-making opportunity that turns local heroes into Challenger Series contenders. 

This year's event is co-sanctioned by WSL Asia and WSL Australia/Oceania, turning Cloud 9 into a proper cross-continental battleground. We're about to see an influx of talented surfers from Down Under mixing it up with Asia's finest. For our Asian competitors, this is huge. We're not just talking about additional ranking points on the line – this is a chance to measure up against surfers from one of the most competitive regions in professional surfing. 

 

 

Siargao surfers have been threading these tubes since before Instagram made barrels currency. The local knowledge factor here is real – we're talking about surfers who can read Cloud 9's every mood, every ripple and every section without fault. 

As a proudly Pinoy brand, we're especially stoked to see our homegrown talents competing against the world's best. Keep an eye out for our local heroes who've been training hard in these waters since they were groms. This is more than just a competition – it's a chance for our Filipino surfers to show the world what Philippine surfing is all about! There are so many amazing surfers in the Philippines, and for the upcoming WSL event in Siargao, we are supporting some C9 Homebreakers. We really believe the support is a collaborative effort, and while we try to do our bit, we encourage other surf brands and enthusiasts to support our country's talent. 

 

 

Marama Tokong: Path to Qualification

Marama is currently the reigning champion at his homebreak, and his success in the 2023 Qualifying Series made way for him as the first Filipino to ever make it to the Challenger Series. With Marama looking to defend his crown, this QS5000 is shaping up to be more than just another competition. It's a chance to witness what happens when world-class talent meets unparalleled local knowledge. For visiting competitors, the path to victory doesn't just run through Cloud 9's tubes – it runs through the man who's made those tubes his home office.

Will we see another historic performance from Tokong? If his recent form is anything to go by, the international field better bring their A-game. When Marama's in rhythm with Cloud 9, it's like watching poetry in motion – if poetry could get barreled and throw full-rotation air reverses.

And with the Australian contingent bringing their power surfing to our shores, Tokong's intimate knowledge of Cloud 9's subtleties could prove to be the ultimate equalizer. After all, there's a big difference between watching Cloud 9 on YouTube and knowing exactly which waves will offer up that bonus barrel section.
