Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 15-17m kites to maximize light wind potential given the 9.1kt average; a freestyle or all-around board works well in flat water conditions. Consider having a smaller 12m kite for gusty wind days.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is suitable for Philippine tropical waters year-round, though summer months (May-Oct) may require only board shorts or a rash guard. Protect against sun exposure with UV protection.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and avoid their nets and boats; stay aware of other water users in this shared bay environment. Keep sessions within designated areas if local guidelines exist.

Additional notes
