In the Philippines you will find enough waves for advanced surfers, like the most prominent surf spot Cloud 9 on the island Siargao. But there are definitely enough beginner and intermediate spots as well and you can surf in almost every part of the Philippines. You will find a big mix of reef and beach breaks. Many beach breaks can be found in Baler, Zambales and La Union.
Intermediate Level
The two fundamental moves in surfing—the bottom-turn and the cutback—are what make a surfer at this level. On a shoulder-high wave, an Intermediate surfer is able to tilt the board and launch themselves without incident. The bottom-turn, which is surfing’s primary turning maneuver, is regarded as the sport’s foundational move since it allows for riding waves with an open face. The cutback is the second most crucial turn. It enables the surfer to avoid getting caught in the slowest region, known as the “shoulder of the wave,” and return to the wave’s energy source. An intermediate surfer knows how to duck dive, maintain a linear trajectory on the surf line, and how to bail out without hurting himself and others in the process. In addition, an intermediate level surfer knows how to read surf reports and plan his session(s) in advance.
