Jacking Horse

Siargao, Philippines
🪸Sharp reef🌀Strong rips

Jacking Horse is Siargao's answer for surfers who want quality Pacific reef waves without the pressure of Cloud 9. Named for its playful, bucking sections, this right-hander breaks just down the coast and offers a more forgiving experience while still delivering legitimate barrel opportunities. The wave wedges up nicely off the reef, providing punchier sections perfect for progressive surfing. When Cloud 9 is maxing out or the lineup is too crowded, Jacking Horse becomes the locals' sanctuary—a reminder that Siargao's wave wealth extends well beyond its most famous break.
