Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing: Learn how to use a kite to surf
Imagine jumping as high as 28.6 meters (94 feet), flying for as long as 22 seconds, or speeding as fast as 57 knots (105 km/h or 66 mph)! These are record heights, times, and speeds, but they show this water sport's potential. In fact, the current Guinness distance record is 465 nautical miles (862 kilometers). And, for a team, the record is 869 nautical miles (1,185 kilometers). Use a GPS to record your personal bests!
Considered an extreme sport, kiteboarding combines elements of at least 7 other sports. As you stand on a kiteboard, a power kite pulls you. Kitesurfing, then, is kiteboarding along waves, like surfing with kite propulsion. In total, there are at least 8 different styles of kiteboarding.
As an extreme sport, kiteboarding can be dangerous to you and to others. Let Scotty's instructors teach you the safe way to launch, turn, fly, land, and more. We can also teach you how to select a kite and kite harness based on your ability level and wind conditions. When you are ready, we can teach you advanced moves and tricks such as board grabs and the heel turn jibe. And, don't worry about the "extreme" designation. According to statistics, kiteboarding is safer than riding in a motor vehicle.
Trust Scotty's to find the best locations with the best winds. Boracay, in fact, is the best kiteboarding spot in Asia. As proof, Boracay's Bulabog Beach hosts the Boracay International Funboard Cup every January. The event is part of the Asian Windsurfing Tour. Bulabog Beach is a great place for both beginners to learn and for experts to show off.
