The Flying Carpet from Nobile - the ultimate beginner board.

Submitted by Simone on Tue, 12/18/2012 - 02:23

The Flying Carpet von Nobile is a must for every kite school. It's longer than the shortest kite instructor from Funboard Center Boracay and guarantees every kite student a save boardstart and the first floating ride experiences. All advanced kiteboarders go kiteboarding when the others are still waiting for the wind. Unmatched upwind performance, perfect grip and easy maneuvering benefits with a pleasant ride. It also makes the Flying Carpet easier and more fun to ride than any other kiteboard of it's size.

Unusual non-windy days at Bulabog Beach after Taifun Bopha. Luckily he did not hit Boracay Island and all water sport enthusiasts could experience the greatest windsurfing and kiteboarding spot in Asia in a very different and relaxed atmosphere. Crystal clear and flat water were the perfect moment to enjoy the SUP and explore Boracay. At the same time kiterboarders and windsurfers stay in shape while waiting for the right coditions for the next kite- or windsurfing session.

Windsurfing versus Kiteboarding

Submitted by Simone on Fri, 11/23/2012 - 13:23

Two month vaction ahead in Asia which also includes 5 weeks of windsurfing at Simone's Funboard Center Boracay in the Philippines. I met Simone many years ago in Greece where I used to have a windsurfschool. As we both are passionate windsurfers we stayed in touch over the years and met on different spots just to get a good ride together.

You could call me a "soul windsurfer" and I was always arguing that kite boarding is nothing for me: no time, too much fun windsurfing, to lazy starting all over again....

Sad news for kitesurfing on Boracay

Submitted by Simone on Mon, 11/12/2012 - 06:17

One of the best entertainment and viewy sports in the world as kitesurfing has been removed from the Olympic programme for Rio 2016. This is a huge disappointment for all the kitesurfers worldwide who have been training hard since it was announced last May that kitesurfing was going to take part in the Olympic games. What a shame too for all the windsurfers who spent the last year training to compete in kitesurfing. Boracay Island has also support local kiteboarders to make their biggest dream reality. A bitter blow for everybody involved...
