spent 99 and 2000 there and stimpys is the real deal...heaving slabs when its on...beat's the crowd over on 9, plus you always got the rock just across the way!! too many other passes right there when the waves are up not to mention!!! bring your boards, plenty if your there when its on.

don't forget to bring your balls
this spot is great, but packs a fair bit of punch. i heard the actual cloud 9 break is even stronger though.there is a ncie mellow spot over on dako island just out from general luna which is really fun, except for the bluebottles if there's a wind blowing from the sea.

Stimpeys - Surfed it 100 times ++
Having lived on Siargao for over three years I have surfed this spot more than 100 times. A W/NW wind blows offshore. At 2-4 foot it's a fun walling wave with the odd 100 peso head-dip on offer. Still rideable if the wind's N/NE which is common in the monsoon season. Over 4 foot it becomes more serious, thick unpredictable barrels on offer if the wind's right. Bring a board with length 7'2" or bigger as you'll find it hard to take-off on the big days with just a normal shortboard. Stimpeys can be crowded or empty. It can be perfect, long, walling lefts or thick, lethal close-out barrels or crappy mushy peaks. I've surfed it in all conditions, sometimes alone out there in a perfect world.
