At the moment, the surfing event is put on hold as the waves are too dangerous for athletes. Surfing has been among the worst-hit event of SEA Games 2019 because of typhoon Kammuri. As of now, the athletes safety is the priority of the organisers.

Kudos to Roger Casugay for putting the safety of his competitor first! Although the SEA Games 2019 has been marred by a lot of incidents regarding the running of the event, Roger has proven has there is good even in the worst of situations.
