Hey guys.

I'm thinking of heading to the Philippines in January for 10days of kiting.
I'm thinking of doing a 5 island tour via boat to kite in different spots and then 5days in Boracay or somewhere similar.

Just wondered if anyone has been there and good give advise on the better places to end up?? if it's possible (and I know it's unlikely) but looking for somewhere not to crowded. Currently doing my research, but always good to get others opinion.

I'm fairly new to kiting so just looking for flat water and good times.

Boracay is crowded.

One word: Seco Island. Flat , crystal clear water. Bombing 25+kts. I still dream of the day I will return.

Check out union beach, just 10mins from boracay. Same conditions as boracay but no crowds, awesome spot!

heading to siargao island in feb 2013, was there this year and last year surfing (september- october) in place called borgos, up the top of the island from cloud 9 (surf spot). Place looks like it be unreal for wave kiting (flat water for 100metre or so, then left hand reef all along the back, for about 3-4kms. Wind season there is from november till march (amihan). Guys up there that surf say spose to get really strong that time of year. Lined up me accom there then for $150 for the month, beers cost me 1.20 and just hire cook for month for $100. Just buy fresh fish and veg in the markets there. Just thought give a bit of info on 1 island, but so many islands over there that would have strong wind. I just like to kitesurf wave, not so much into flat water kiting...cheers tez

Hey folks
Is there anywhere to hire or borrow gear other than boracay?
Have been here for a while and have a monh or 2 to go and not that keen on heading to boracay unless I have to
Just not that into crowds!
Didn't want to spend a few months pulling my gear around but now wishing I had as the wind has kicked in!
