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....

Good to know!

Information galore

Safety

Sadly we have noticed a decrease in the number of visitors to Boracy Island and the Philippines generally. Could this be the result of poor or wrong media coverage?

Many travel agents and government official departments in various countries around the world recommend not to travel to or around the Phillipiness, this is simply based on a few unfortunate unpleasant incidents. These incidents are localised and contained they are not country wide.

There was a typhoon in December 2014, it is without doubt better to err on the side of caution, however, the forecast was excessive and the report of the consequences of the storm although possible these figures need to be realised in context.
