The centre
Our centre is the most advanced, upwind centre on the island and ideally located to pick up the best trade winds. It is also the only school with road access, The 9 other centers downwind share a crowded area making it very difficult to those who are not advanced riders. This school has the best location, best school equipment and the highest teaching standards on Boracay.

Prices up to IKO L2 are FIXED by the BWA (Boracay Windsports
Association) so are identical for all schools. However in 10 years we have found most
groups need 16hrs and single students 12hrs. Hence we created the EXTENDED course. For those just starting out, our IKO instructors will comprehensively instruct you how to be
an independent kiteboarder. All too often schools skip the safety for the glory moment. We will
teach you all of it.
