Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 15-17m kites for the 11.2kt average wind; a 12m as backup for lighter days. Directional boards or light wave boards work best for flat water and variable conditions.

Clothing · A 2-3mm springsuit is sufficient given the tropical Philippine climate year-round; water temperature stays warm (26-28°C). UV protection and a rashguard are essential against strong sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect the busy tourism area by staying in designated kite zones away from swimmers and boats. Coordinate with local kite schools to avoid crowding popular launch areas.
