Kitesurfing in Philippines - The kitesurf and travel blog

I was with Lina in Thailand, Indonesia and Boracay, Philippines during the winter 2013. We kitesurfed almost every day for three months, and attended KTA in PranBuri in Thailand. Here is a short video of Lina kitesurfing there.

Have you ever wanted to go to a lonely small island in the middle of the ocean where you cannot see land in any direction? And just chill, kitesurf, have barbecues, kitesurf, and sleep? I bet you have, and if you are in the Philippines, there is a way of doing all this, by going […]

Okay, this is weird. Here at Boracay you can find a type of ant that crawls into the bladder of your kite and eats the rubber from inside. And when you pump the kite, there are hundreds of holes. When you fix 117 holes, and everything works, you put the kite back, and there is […]

Yesterday and today the Kitesurfing freestyle competition has been held at Boracay Funboard Cup. Due to bad wind conditions the winner is not yet announced.  But at least I have got some images from the competition, be sure to check them out!

Have you ever flown your kite into a palm? I have. Today at Bulabog beach in Boracay I realized that the trees are quite close to the shore on high tide. Luckily I was not the only one…

Everything is great here in Boracay. Tomorrow the Boracay Funboard Cup starts, with competitions in both kitesurfing and windsurfing. I am not going to participate, but I might write a report from it, it is one of Asias most known wind- and kitesurfing events, and a whole bunch of pro’s are going to compete.

When being in Boracay you can not miss the small kid Christian Tio riding. He is only 11 years old, but still kitesurfing like a pro. Here is a one year old video of Christian Tio kitesurfing (And he is even better now than in the video):

When you have kitesurfed for a while on the quite crowdy Bulabog beach on Boracay, you might want to enjoy a place with kilometers of flatwater and only maybe 7-8 kites in the air? Then it is time to head to Union beach for a day. And a good way of getting there is to […]

Today I thought I should learn some tricks to blind and some handlepasses, starting with Raley to blind, followed by S-Bend to blind, Flat 3, and Backroll + 360. I could now write a book about how to fail in making handlepasses and blind-riding. I think that everything just failed. But it was fun, and […]

We arrived to Boracay late in the night on Saturday, and went to our place to live straigth away. We are living at English Bakery (Bolabok apartelle,) a quite cheap place near teh kitesurfing beach. When waking up in the morning, we headed to the beach for finding storage for our gear. We headed for […]
