Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to handle the light average winds of 7.6 knots; a freestyle or wave board works well for choppy conditions. Have smaller kites ready for stronger wind days.

Clothing · A 2-3mm wetsuit is ideal for tropical Philippine waters year-round, though a rashguard may suffice during peak season. Booties protect feet from sharp coral.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets, especially early morning. Share the break with other kiters and give priority to those already riding.

Additional notes

January and February offer the most reliable wind window; plan your trip accordingly as conditions are marginal outside these months. Check local forecasts regularly and befriend local kiters for real-time wind and swell updates.
