During peak season when the "amihan" wind blows, usually November to April, we are based on Bulabog beach, next to 7 Stones and Alice in Wonderland. It is a great place for all kiter levels. The Bulabog beach lagoon stretches over 3 bays for 2 ½ km providing a huge shallow playground for beginner to advanced kitesurfers, with side on shore wind conditions. It is the perfect spot to learn kiteboarding as there is shallow waist depth water, flat crystal clear warm water, sunshine and regular wind. During off season when the "habagat" wind blows usually June to September, we are based on White Beach at Bamboo Resort, Station 3.
