Best Season
For Boracay, the best season for kitesurfing is during the Amihan season — November to April.


Here’s why this period is ideal:
• Steady trade winds from the northeast blow at 12–25 knots, perfect for beginners and pros.

• Bulabog Beach (east side) gets consistent side-onshore winds, making it safer for learners.

• Sunny, dry weather with warm waters — no wetsuit required.

• Flat water inside the reef for freestyle tricks, and wave action outside for jumps and wave riding.
