Billabong Southeast Asia marketing manager Peter Thew talks about Billabong Cloud9 Invitational 2008 while former Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers explains why the place in Siargao is called 'Cloud9.' Meanwhile, surfers Dave Woodall, Laurie Towner and Ronnie "Poks" Esquivel talk about surfing as a recreation and how life is like riding the waves.
Skaters, wakeboarders, and surfers gathered during the Manila press launch of the Billabong Cloud9 Invitational 2008. A total of 36 international and 12 Filipino surfers were invited to join the Billabong Cloud 9 Invitational 2008.

Organizers said the surfing competition in Siargao will start on September 20 to 26, depending on the weather and the wave conditions in the area.
