The best kitesurfing spots I've been too in the Philippines

Jeff Blemaster KitesurfingAs kitesurfing has only picked up in the last five years, the infrastructure for kitesurfers can be hard to find. There are, however, a few spots with IKO-certified instructors, rental gear, accommodations and boats to charter for island-hopping. Here are a few we recommend for your first Philippine kitesurf experience:

Pagudpud Peninsula coast (Ilocos Norte)
Rustic and rural at the northernmost tip of the Philippines. The place to get away from crowds. Big wave breaks and conditions for more experienced kiteboarders and a few resorts on the beachfront. Try Kingfisher Beach in the north.
Bagasbas Beach (Bicol)
A small fishing town with quiet scenery; surfer zone since the 1980s. Join their annual international kite competitions.
Coron and Calamianes Islands (Palawan)
To the west of the country's coast lies stunning scenery and seclusion. Lots of options: open water chop, mirror-flat, emerald water with nature's beautiful backdrop. To help you navigate and island-hop with ease, there's a solar-powered kite camp on a private island, set up just for kitesurfers.
Bulabog Beach (Boracay)
On of the most popular kitesurfing breaks in the Philippines. It offers hiring centers, bars, kite schools and a turquoise lagoon that receives cross-onshore NE monsoon winds.
Cuyo Islands (Palawan)
A total of eight islets that can be reached by boat. Try riding Victoria Beach, or the side onshore wind of Capusan Beach....   [Jeff Blemaster Kitesurfing]
