As
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]
