If you’re looking for a place to rent or learn kitesurfing, that’s the perfect one.
The staff is super friendly, the rented material perfect, compressors on the beach to save time and energy pumping your kite.
You can leave your kite safely in the school.
And (but not least at all), you have a small snack bar restaurant that serves delicious food (very large choice) and very competitive price and quantities in your plate that would satisfy a hungry stomach after 4hours of kite.
What else? Wind every days, beautiful protected lagoon, great sun ... that’s paradise.

My daughter of 12 years and myself took lessons and we were kitesurfing within 3 hours.
The Management and trainers are really professional and will go out there way to assist and we felt part of a family.
We already booked our advance course with them.

Fantastic team, equipment and wind in the best location!
The team were incredibly helpful when I was planning this trip at short notice. They replied to all communications promptly and gave sound advice. The accommodation they booked for me was superb.
On arrival the atmosphere is super relaxed but professional. We agreed on an hour lesson and then rental for the following 3 days. Along was fantastic, he gave me a quick refresher and some great pointers to improve my jumping before leaving me to it.
The kit is all new and in good condition. I really enjoyed the bandit 9m a great all rounder!
The beach boys are a great help, they inflate, launch and land your kite....smiling all the time.
Cafe attached to the office is just what is needed. Good drinks and food and very reasonable prices.
All in all I’m sure you can tell I had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it.
Thank you Francois and the team.

It’s a great pleasure to learn with Isla Kitesurfing. I spend 4 days learning there. Because I learnt beginner lessons elsewhere, I started my lesson with a 2-hour refreshing lesson and then advanced lesson on getting on the board. The instructor is super patient and awesome! Organizer is really helpful and friendly. I will definitely come back again!

Out of curiosity went to the beach to watch the Kite Surfers.
Jen from Isla Kitesurfing approached me and patiently answered all my questions and so convinced me to take my first 1,5h lesson.
Was fun, so I continued.
My Instructor "Along" was great and got a lot of experience, he explained very well and analyzed what I was doing wrong, so I improved quickly.
Staff is very friendly and multilingual.
Booking of lessons can be done spontaneously and rescheduling is no problem if it doesn't fit your other plans on the island.
Will come back.

This has been my third time I’ve been learning kitesurfing and I must say this school has been excellent. Tonton managed to progress my skills within three days to the next level. I could not be happier.
My bf was learning for the first time and he managed to get riding up the wind by the end of 9hours. His teacher was Arkan, also great teacher.
Also I liked the fact that this school doesn’t waste your time by making you pump your kite each time as they have electric pumps which means you spend most of your time kiting rather than setting up the kite.
Overall we have been very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend this school!

Really great kite surfing school in a great location. The team at Isla were really helpful. Responded to emails before I got there and set me up with tuition and hire at short notice. Really progressed under the tuition of Gordon. The school is in a great location on the beach and the beach is perfect for learning. Would very much recommend

Had the best time! Learned a lot. Had amazing teachers from calm and patient with me (dennis) to pushing me and taking the fear of jumping (along and chris) jen, uli,
the girls behind the desk and instructors were always super helpful friendly and welcoming! It quickly felt like you are hanging out with friends!. the school is on the right side of the bay, a 100 meters away from the other schools.... so its not that crowded with other kitesurfers. Give you freedom to learn and also enjoying your rides.... price value is amazing!!!!! I can highly recommend isla kitesurf school!! Wish you lots of wind and fun! Hope to be back soon!!!

Came to Boracay with no gear, ended up buying my 2 kites with Uli and Francois. Gear was in top condition.
Apart from that m, the staff is always there to help if you need anything. Big thanks to Francois, Uli and Dennis for making my stay in Boracay great so far. Highly recommended for anyone planning on kiting here.

While the management were helpful the rest of the staff who should be helping to make your experience a stress free and enjoyable one did not care at all. They were lazing around and uninterested in being of service in anyway and if you asked...they looked at you as if you had asked them something completely unreasonable.

Hey! i'm going to philippines in mid april (can't move the dates) between all the kite spots with lessons available which are the ones with the most chance for good wind during that dates?
Written August 12, 2019
Hi Carlos,
we still have wind on Boracay mid April but the wind probability is not as high as the rest of the season. Expect light wind and bring 12/14m kite. It's great to foil as well.
Boracay probably has the most chance of wind in the whole country at that period.
Best regards,
Francois

Hi, is kitesurfing appropriate for a starter? How many hours do I have to learn in order to get to the ocean and surf a little bit?
Written July 13, 2019
Hello,
we do give lessons to complete beginners. The full beginner course lasts 2 to 3 days and will teach you how to control the kite, know the safety features and do the watertstart.
At the end of the course you should have a good control of the kite and be able to do short rides on both directions :)
That course lasts12h in group or 9h if we have nobody to group you with and costs 21000 php per participant.
Our high season for wind goes from end of October until end of April.
Hope to see you !

Hey, im looking forward to go by mid april how good are the chances of getting good wind
Written June 6, 2019
Hi Carlos,
mid April is when the wind season starts to slow down. There is still wind even if it is not as consistent as the rest of the season (end of October until mid April).
Good thing is that the lagoon is not crowded at all.
Still, the earlier you come, the best.
This year we had wind until about mid May for example :)

Salut, quels sont les meilleurs mois de l’année? Vous avez un site de vague ? Vous organisez des trips dans des îles aux alentours ? Merci ?
What are the best months of the year? Do you a have a spot with waves? Any trips to nearby islands?
Written December 4, 2017
Bonjour,
la saison va de fin octobre a fin avril. Les meilleurs mois sont decembre/janvier/fevrier pour avoir du vent fort (20 noeuds).
Pas de spot de vagues ou alors juste au niveau du recif (petites vagues seulement).
Nous organisons des trips en bateau local, en catamaran ou simplement en downwind.
