Billabong Surfing Cloud 9 Invitational in the Philippines |
| PHILIPPINES surfer Edito Peso Alcala is the new king of Cloud 9 after defeating the worlds best tube riders to win the prestigious Billabong Cloud 9 Invitational at the remote island of Siargao in the Philippines. Cloud 9, an ultra perfect right hand reef break, lived up to expectation, serving out epic 2-2.5 metre barrelling waves for the final day of competition surfing. Local ace Alcala, who learned to surf at the revered break, rode barrel after perfect barrel to beat defending title holder Wade Goodall (Caloundra, Qld, Aus) in a tight 35-minute man-on-man final. But 20-year-old Alcala didnt have it all his own way in the final, having to fight back from a slow start to take home a last-minute victory over Goodall in front of a vocal Philippines crowd. Sitting in second with two minutes to go and with priority, Alcala jagged a set wave before weaving through the belly of a Cloud 9 cavern to jag a heat-winning 9.43 ride. Alcala finishing on a final two wave combined total of 18.16-points to Goodalls 17.77. Sunshine Coast star Goodall, who heads home with $4,500 (USD) for his runner-up placing today, couldnt replicate the barrel riding performance that saw him take out last years event. |

Sarap ng Siargao |
| Chilled out on Siargao Island. Not really. Wiped out on a carvestik a couple of days before departure. Four large gashes on hand, knee, elbow, and ego. Nevertheless, still managed to surf and watch some amazing surfing during the 2006 Cloud 9 Open sponsored by Quiksilver. Shot by JP, re-edited by me. |
