Amenities

Hazards

Shallow reefs and coral heads in flat water areas requiring careful navigation and local knowledgeStrong currents and tidal flows around the island during certain times of dayLimited visibility of underwater obstacles in tropical watersOccasional squalls and sudden wind shifts common to Philippine waters

Launch notes

The flat water and consistent NE/ENE winds make launching straightforward, though you'll want to identify shallow entry zones away from coral. Check tide times as shallow areas may become even more restricted at low tide.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites for the consistent 15.5kt average winds; a larger quiver handles lighter days common in shoulder months. A directional or hybrid board works well for flat water freeriding and progression.

Clothing · A 2-3mm spring suit or rash guard provides sun protection and minor abrasion defense; water temperature stays warm year-round in the Philippines. Minimal thermal protection needed except for extended sessions.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishing areas and obtain permission from resort management before launching. Keep clear of any restricted zones and be mindful of other water activities in this resort destination.

Additional notes

Coordinate with your resort in advance as this is a private island destination with specific kite zones. The 228+ windy days annually make this extremely reliable, with best conditions typically in the cooler months (Dec-Apr) when NE trade winds are strongest.
