Congratulations to John Mark “Marama” Tokong for winning the 2022 Siargao International Surfing Cup Championship for Men’s Division! QS 1000
He’s our first back-to-back champion here in the Philippines since winning the 2019 Siargao International Cup and has been on a winning streak since claiming the 2022 Phuket Beach Festival championship for men’s shortboard.
What an amazing journey going into the finals — from facing off with the best from Japan and Indonesia and even taking on fellow Siargao legend, Philmar Alipayo, before proceeding to battle it out on a pumping Cloud 9 with Indonesian favorite, Oney Anwar. Marama was undeniably in the zone as he took on the challenge of a pumping Cloud 9, effortlessly navigating through which waves to ride that would give him the highest points for each heat.
Once again, congratulations to Marama and we look forward to seeing more of your skill and talent in the near future!
