One of the most satisfying feeling I've had when I visited Siargao again was to be able to surf in a slightly deep water unlike the first time I've tried where waves were just near the shore line and it's easier to ride them. This time around we have to chase the waves somewhere deep and this time we've surf near Cloud Nine.

To be honest, I was really struggling to stand up this time around aside from the deep water which I'm pretty scared of, my surfing board is a little smaller compared to what I'ved used to ride before. Countless of times I fell down and I was really struggling. I have to try harder and harder so I can stand up and ride the waves. There was one time that I almost drowned and my Trainor kept on telling me to just grab the robe on my feet and don't try to swim so I can climb back on my surfing board. There's one time that I have already stood up but the one taking videos and photos was right in front of me that I almost hit him so I have no choice but to jump in the water.

It was a different experience this time but I'm still glad and happy that I was able to make it out alive. Although I have bruises and wounds on my body but it's totally worth it.

It was pretty hard but I still want to try again next time. It's really cool to surf and there were plenty of great surfers around the area which made me in awe. They ride the waves easily and I can't help but to wish that maybe one day I can do the same. 😊🌊
