Philippines. Mindanao, throwing the rope. Phil Goodrich hits a turn at a right with a clean reef and a miles - deep channel alongside. With a reputation for banditry and political violence, Mindanao is lightly touristed outside of major cities like Davao and Zamboanga. With a new road along the coast finally finished, the many inviting reefs and seasonal exposure to western Pacific typhoon swells will draw more surfers in coming seasons.
