ABOUT US
© 2014 – 2026 MAPA PHILIPPINES
We are a Filipino-made surf map project built with deep pride, responsibility, and respect for the waves and coastlines of the Philippines. Our maps are not just about finding surf – they are about understanding where you are, when to paddle out, Philippine line up awareness and how to explore our islands with care. Each spot is thoughtfully documented to promote informed and respectful surf travel that protects both the ocean and the communities that depend on it.
From iconic, world-class breaks to quieter, lesser-known coastlines, our work highlights the richness of our shores, the stories behind every wave, and the local surf lore that has grown alongside them.
We believe our waves are worth protecting, not exploiting. This map is our way of guiding surfers while documenting the growth of the Philippine Surfing Scene.
This is our homebreak. Enjoy the map.
OUR MISSION
We don’t just map the breaks, we work to ensure they remain for the next generation. Every MAPA piece pays homeage to the community, the culture and the coastlines that define us.
Honor the heritage
We document the evolution of the Philippine surf scene, honoring the surf towns and pioneers who started it all. This map is a living record of our growth, ensuring that as our community expands, our stories aren’t left behind
Guard the Coastlines
Respect the lineup, protect the reef. We promote informed and safe surf exploration to ensure that every surf trip leaves only footprints. This map serves as a memento of your journey and a reminder to keep our waters wild and pristine.
Rooted in Local Hands
Every map is locally made using 100% recyclable materials, celebrating the Filipino craftsmanship that offers lasting value. By choosing MAPA, you are directly supporting the local hands that build our community.
A living record of our coastline
Mapping the soul of 7,641 islands
We’ve meticulously documented over 100 surf spots across the archipelago to give you more than just a map – it’s a guide to the coast of the Philippine seas. Each spot is detailed with essential surf wisdom: the season swells come, best swell and wind direction, crowd levels, break details. Our goal is to ensure you know exactly what to expect before you paddle out, fostering a culture of informed and respectful exploration in every line up.
Crafted to Outlast the swell
Made only using the best in class materials
Your connection to the coast deserves a tribute that stands the test of time. We use only museum-grade paper and UV-resistant inks, finished with a protective matt film to prevent fading. Designed to last 10+ years, this isn’t just a print; it’s a memento of your journey. Every map is shipped in a reinforced, eco-conscious travel tube, ensuring it arrives ready to be framed and cherished in your home.
Protect the waves. Respect the coast. Explore the Philippines right.
MAPA Philippines is more than a surf map. It’s a guide to encourage informed surf exploration, awareness in the Philippine waters, a memento of your visit and long-term protection of our coastlines.
