Hazards

Shallow reef and rock formations in the lagoon requiring careful navigation and spot knowledgeBoat traffic from local fishing vessels and tourist activities, especially during peak seasonsStrong currents during tidal changes that can push riders toward the reefSea urchins and sharp coral in shallow water areas

Launch notes

Launch from the flat, protected lagoon side of Bulabog Beach in shallow water, ideal for beginners. Best launch with NE to ENE winds; avoid SW conditions when offshore winds create choppy conditions on the outer reef.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the average 11.9kt wind; larger kites help in lighter trade wind conditions. Flat-water boards or directional boards are ideal for the calm lagoon; avoid wave boards given the protected water.

Clothing · Light rash guard or thin wetsuit (2-3mm) is sufficient year-round due to warm tropical waters (26-29°C). Sun protection and quick-dry clothing are essential due to intense equatorial sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect designated kite zones and stay clear of swimmers and non-kiting areas. Coordinate with other riders and schools operating on this popular, crowded beach to avoid collisions.

Additional notes

Bulabog Beach is the dedicated kite zone on Boracay; White Beach is strictly off-limits for water sports. Book lessons or gear rental in advance during peak season (Dec-Mar) as the beach gets very crowded with kitesurfers.
