I almost totally gave up kitesurfing seeing as the last time I went in Morocco was a not much fun for me. When I noticed all the kites on the beach in Boracay I walked into Funboard Centre to buy a beer so that I had some smaller money to give to the bike driver who dropped me off. You can usually feel the vibe/atmosphere of a place as soon as you walk in and that I did, this was one of chilled, friendly, non judgmental, happy and helpful. The lovely owner encouraged me to grab a kite and get out there on the water, I did and was out nearly everyday there was wind. Loved it, nice shallow water protected be an outer reef. Best thing about Funboard centre is that its located at the end of the beach, where you have a little more room to learn if your learning or trying to learn new tricks, also has a larger area of beach to launch and land your kite. She has very helpful crew working in the centre who usually have a smile on their face. Food is great!! Would love to come back and if I did I'd rent one of the rooms here for sure. Thank you Funboard Centre Boracay ! X

I luckily booked the (only) room with ocean view for one week at this fantastic relaxed place. Simone who runs the place is a lovely host. The small bars serves nice breakfast and daily special food. It is the place to meet other friendly kite chaps and exchange your experiences of this addictive sport...
I will definitely come back next year. See you :)
Thanks a lot for your great review! We are happy to hear we could serve you the best. And even better we gonna see you again next season!
All the best and sunny regards from stormy Boracay,

I was visiting the Philippines from the middle of November 2016 to the end of January 2017.
I attended a kitesurfing course at Funboard Center in november. The instructors at Funboard are excellent, the best of the best. I got Alex, a Russian Bear which I now consider to be the best kite instructor in the world. His patience is limitless and he managed to transform me - a 50-year old Norwegian - from a very clumsy and nervous newbie into an secure and independent kitesurfer.
Simone runs the place, she is the most nice and helpful person you will ever meet. She, along with Marcus, also run Boracay Yoga and I attended some of their classes. This was my first time experience yoga and I really enjoyed it.
I had such a good time at Funboard in November that I came back to Funbard Center in January and stayed the whole month to kitesurf more.
I was then an independent kitesurfer so for the whole of January I just rented the equipment I needed and they have a very good range of quality equipment. There are lots of kites and board to choose from. The nice staff at Funbard is very helpful and helps to bring the kites and boards back and forward to the beach, lay up the lines, pump the kites, help with launching etc. All the help you need.
The center also has a really nice bar where the girls serve you good and healthy breakfast or lunch, they have the best coffee on Boracay, nice juices and the "overnighter" is a healthy energy bomb that will give you the energy you need for a long day of kiting. The bar is also a nice place to hang out when you need a break.
The people at Funbard are amazing, helpful and nice. I really enjoyed my time there. I hope to come back some day.
Hello Trygve!

Best Breakfast on the island with homemade Joghurt and Bread. Great Coffee. Super nice people and great teachers for Kitesurfing. They also offer Yoga and other activities such as Windsurfing.
Hello Sascha!
Sounds like the Coffee shop was your playground rather than the water ;-) But Great to hear you have enjoyed both! Thanks for joining us!!
Have a great summer and may be see you back next season.
Best wishes,
Simone & Team
Amazing people - experiences, helpful and nice. Good range of equipment for adults and kids (both windsurfing and kitesurfing). Safe place to learn.
Thanks Art for your great feedback. We are happy to hear you and the boys have enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you soon back on Boracay!
All the best,
Simone & Team
Did my level 1&2 kite surfing lessons here. Had a great instructor that gave very good direction and had me riding quicker than I could have imagined.
