Kitesurfing Spots in the Philippines

The Philippines is a paradise for Kitesurfing: consistent trade winds, warm waters all year round, 7107 Islands, countless beaches and beautiful tropical nature. Kitesurfing or kiteboarding is a surface water sport combining wakeboarding, windsurfing, surfing, and acrobatics into one extreme sport. It is a lot of fun to use the traction of a huge kite to propel yourself through the water. But you don’t just glide across the surface. You can do stunts in the air as well, such as grabs, board offs or any kind of wakeboard move. Think Iron Man Silver Surfer and Spiderman stunts combined.

The kitesurfing craze in the Philippines started more than a decade ago on Boracay Island. Boracay is a little white-sand island. It has changed from an insiders’ tip kiting spot to an internationally known one, that can get crowded at times. Known as one of the best beaches in the world, and the Philippines’ claim-to-fame, Boracay has it all: white sand, turquoise water, breath-taking sunset, world-class hotels, and an exciting night life.
