[Title] => Siargao opens surf world’s eyes
[Summary] => The wait was worth it and hosting a stop in the 12-leg World Surf League pro tour was long overdue for Siargao. Now that the Surigao del Norte island has been introduced as a top-class surfing destination, it could be a permanent fixture on the WSL circuit. PSC and WSL agreed to a two-year deal with the option to extend to a third staging but from the success of the recent four-day Cloud 9 event, it’s likely Siargao will be an annual destination on the tour.
