Homage to our local kite and windsurfers from Bulabog

Submitted by Simone on Tue, 01/06/2015 - 13:54

This is to pay homage to our local kitesurfer Glynn from Funboard Center Boracay and Gordon Gelito, one of Philippines National Teamriders in windsurfing. Both did a great job when a promenader found out that a swimmer was caught in the waves close to the reef on New Year's Day. Bulabog Beach was still sleeping, just the wind has blown more than 28 knots and created huge waves on the reef. We hardly could see the head of the New Year's swimmer...

Dancing with the sails

Submitted by Admin on Sun, 11/30/2014 - 15:00

Just in time we have received the newest windsurf equipment. The trendy neon colours has reached the sailing maker and gives the impression of butterflies dancing on the water. We just tried the freeride sail from Gaastra with16 knots windstrength. The SAVAGE is the perfect sail for all windsurfers who want to be the fastest on the water. This powerfull freeride sail became light as it has no camber and rotates easily in the jibe or other manoevers. The Pure will suit any freestyler, regardless of level.

Island-Hopping: Windsurfers on the way from Boracay to Camiguin Island

Submitted by Simone on Sun, 05/26/2013 - 15:11

Good Morning Camiguin! On some low windy days kite-and windsurfers from Funboard Center Boracay headed down to the south of the Philiipines to explorer new kite-and windsurfing spots. After a 10 hours boat-trip from Cebu City to Camiguin they arrived in the early morning at the sleepy Island. The peaks of the 7 vulcanos looking quite unreal through the clouds. Not many people know that Camiguin is a hot plate with the highest concentration of burning mountains in the small island.

Sunrise-Windsurfing and Kiteboarding at Bulabog Beach

Submitted by Simone on Wed, 03/20/2013 - 09:31

At Bulabog Beach you can see the first windsurfer and kiteboarder on the water before the sunlight will shed the early light on the bay. Flat water, consistant wind and clear runs make each early morning session- even without breakfast- to a fiull blast. Boracay counts its last days of the North-East-Monsun, Amihan. Within the next month the wind slowly turns to the the White Beach blowing from the South. Some of the kite schools will transfer to the other side and kite-courses are available during the off-season.
