Fantastic stay... I decided to go for the beginners course and at the end of the course I was able to kite by myself, turn, do some small jumps, etc. and it was so much fun. The centre did not just have great instructors, but also an amazing atmosphere, food, coffee and bar staff..

I found Funboard and some other places through Google and after doing some more research decided to go with Funboard because the atmosphere seemed more friendly and than the other places and boy how I was right. Already from the booking experience Simone, the owner, wrote to me personally and was very friendly. Once arriving, the location is great with our private "launch-pad" for wind and kite-surfing. Simone met me and introduced me to the place and staff and it didn't take long time until I made many friends, instructors as well as customers :) Its a very friendly atmosphere at Funboard! All the guys helped me out with board and sail size suggestions and they are all so friendly and helpful, switching rigs quickly in case wind picks up / drops.
Lagoon conditions are perfect because you can stand most of the time in the lagoon no matter where you are, that means awesome conditions for kite-surfers(especially for beginners, best place to learn kite-surfing!). Was also great for me as a windsurfer because its fast and easy to get up and going after a catapult ;)
The great thing with Funboard is that there are other activities you can do such as going on cruises, going to the fish market, Yoga so there is no way to get bored even for those days when the wind doesn't co-operate. :P I enjoyed relaxing at Cafe Tabou at the center where the girls use their magic to make Milkshakes, Crepes, Pasta and other goodies!
This time I went alone but now that I know how great the atmosphere is and that is so much other things to do outside of windsurfing, but next time I will bring my girlfriend as well!
I went alone as an intermediate windsurfer and am always worried if they are supportive (advice on size of board and sail etc.)to beginners/intermediates but found out that Funboard is a great place for pro's or beginners, alone or with friends/partners alike. Nr1!
Thank you for all of you at Funboard who made this vacation a truly memorable one! ♥
See you next year!

Felt Right at Home Kitesurfing. I was looking for a good place that would teach me how to kitesurf while visiting Boracay, and I don't think I could have done better. The staff here is attentive and encouraging, while also providing a relaxed atmosphere.
THE place where you want to come back soon. It is my 4rth time in Boracay and always stay in different stations. I wish I knew Funboard Center before as this place is really spécial in that way you can get the max out of your holidays...
Simply excellent!... if you are looking for a place where you can just enjoy what you love the most, watersports, then this is the place you have to go to. Best quality meets expertise, all wrapped up in a family-like vibe!!!
Laid back, helpful and first rate teaching setup. Highly recommend! Simone and her team of windsurfing and kitesurfing instructions are top class.
Couldn't ask for more! Super friendly and knowledgable staff with a nice selection of new gear. Perfectly located also upwind of all the other schools so water in front is much less crowded. Couldn't ask for a better place to learn.
Awesome kiteschool Funboard Center is located on a perfect, quiet spot on Bulabog beach. We stayed at their cozy apartment for longer than we'd planned. Super friendly crew and superb food. Professional and fun kiteboard instructors will get you on the board quickly. We had a really great time!
Fun Family Safety with a Warm Spirit! This is a warm welcoming centre offering exceptional windsurfing and kitesurfing instruction, brand new and well maintained equipment, yoga classes specific for every ones needs and healthy home made food as you will get hungry out on Bulaboga's beautiful blue waters.
Peace finally! Spent a week in Boracay at Funboard and felt so sad when I left that after a few days I changed my flights and returned for one more week, this pretty much summarizes my experience!
Wind and Kite surf paradise! In bulabog, the most upwind place, very flat and away from the crowd, a perfect place to learn as well as practice your jumps!... I will definitely come back - I know the wind will be there but keep the same menu :)!
