What do I need to bring to my lesson?
Just sun protection and beachwear such as shorts and a rash guard. All kitesurfing and safety equipment is provided.
Do you have to be strong to learn kitesurfing?
No. Kitesurfing is about technique rather than strength, and the school uses different kite sizes for different wind conditions.
When is the best time to come to Boracay for kitesurfing?
The main season runs from November to April, when the Amihan wind blows consistently side-onshore on Bulabog Beach at 15-25 knots. From June to October, the Habagat wind blows on White Beach with only around a 50% chance of wind.
What happens if a lesson is booked and there is no wind?
The lesson is rescheduled for the following day.

Lessons can be paid for by online bank transfer, GCash, cash, or credit card.
