Kitesurfing in Boracay Island
Out of the 7,000 Philippine islands, Boracay is ranked by many sources as the most beautiful. Located c. 300km south of Manila and 2km off the northwest tip of Panay Island in the Western Visayas region, the island offers stunning white sand beaches, a laid back atmosphere, great nightlife, and, most of all, the best in kitesurfing.
The kitesurfing hotspot: Bulabog Beach
On Boracay's east coast you will find the one of the best kitespots worldwide, Bulabog Beach: A massive turquoise lagoon with perfect flat water conditions lying beside a 2.5km long white sandy beach. The lagoon is standing depth at low tide, offering perfect learning conditions for beginners. At high tide, more advanced kitesurfers can enjoy the chop and moreover the small to medium waves breaking on the coral reef protecting the bay. The spot generally is blessed by constant trade winds of c. 20 knots, blowing side-onshore from the Northeast.
You'll find all facilities needed at this beach, including the IKO-accredited kiteschool Isla Kitesurfing Boracay, the only school on the island with a safety boat.
Freeriding at White Beach
You will find another kitesurf gem just 700m across at the island's west coast. White Beach is yet another white sand beach with clear blue and green water, often ranked as one of the ten most beautiful beaches worldwide. This place is a good option at SW winds that prevail in the rainy season.
Riding the waves at Golf Course and Puka Beach
Furthermore, on the northern shore of the island there are two spots known for waves: Golf Course, a good option when Bulabog gets too crowded, and Puka Beach (for NW winds).
You will find all facilities needed for a perfect kitesurfing holiday, including kitesurfing schools, shops, rental and repair services, rescue services, and great hotels and restaurants.
