Surfing at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines was held at waters off Barangay Urbiztondo in San Juan, La Union.[1][2]
Surfing was held from 2 to 8 December 2019.[3] There were concerns that surfing events were about to be suspended due to Typhoon Kammuri (Tisoy) affecting the waves in the venue.[4]
Four gold medals were at stake in surfing; in men's and women's shortboard and in men's and women's longboard.[4]
Roger Casugay gave up a gold medal position to save a fellow Indonesian competitor from drowning.[5][6] Casugay, won hearts on social media with his kind deed, eventually won a rematch against Nurhidayat and bested fellow Filipino surfer Rogelio Esquivel for the gold medal.[7]
