KITE CONDITIONS IN BORACAY
Reef-protected waters
make this the ideal place to escape and kiteboard. Take kitesurf lessons or
catch the wind to freestyle all day long. This tranquil island is located in South East
Asia in the Philippines where the winds range from 15-25 knots and sometimes 30
November through April. Locals call this
season the “Amihan.” For rest of the year, wind comes from the opposite
direction.
Boracay has two
seasons, Amihan and Habagat. The Amihan is the most optimal for kiting. In Habagat,
the wind changes direction literally overnight. While you can kite during
Habagat, it is quite a bit warmer with more tropical storms.
