Welcome to Kiteboarding in Palawan, Philippines!<\/h2>\n

It all began for me back in earlier days attaching a makeshift sail to my small green skateboard back in the 70\u2019s. Okay that was fun for a kid. \u00a0Then in 1986 I put together another sail along with some dagger boards on my canoe. \u00a0Didn\u2019t work so well.<\/p>\n

Finally in 1997 I took up windsurfing and got some real action that was long awaited! In November 2012, I met Mark the owner of Kite Club Palawan. \u00a0He showed Grace and me how to use his trainer kite. We flew that for hours many different days for many months. \u00a0Mark and the others said, hey come on over for some real kiteboarding lessons. We\u2019ll teach you. \u00a0I was to scared! But I wanted to do it so badly!!<\/p>\n

Grace was ready to try it out in January 2013. \u00a0But didn\u2019t. \u00a0Sorry haha! The next year 2013 and 2014 same thing flew Mark\u2019s trainer kite many times. \u00a0So fun to me and Grace. Lots of fun actually! \u00a0What a minor rush that was! I know, crazy, huh? Finally in November 2015, Mark\u2019s partner Monette invited me to take kiteboarding lessons from Mark. \u00a0I was hesitant, but she knew I wanted to kiteboard pretty bad! She persisted with the invitation. \u00a0I said okay! I\u2019ll write some more.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to January-March 2017 and I\u2019ve got to say this is my favorite sport!! \u00a0I knew it would be since I loved windsurfing so much. I like it better than windsurfing. Even though I must say windsurfing was my favorite sport and thing to do from 1997-2003. \u00a0If someone handed me a board and gear I would go windsurfing again too! In the Philippines: Kiteboarding, Kitesurfing, Windsurfing season is during what is called Amihan when the wind blows from the North East (November to April) \u00a0(This can also be called Trade Winds)<\/p>\n

Friend Learning to Kiteboard<\/h5>\n

What a fun day this was watching my friend keep going for a long way!<\/p>\n

Me Kitesurfing<\/h5>\n

Back in first part of January 2017, there was light wind. \u00a0I said to myself I wonder if I can figure out how to surf with my kite. \u00a0I tried for 30-60 minutes trying to get up on my surfboard. \u00a0Finally I was like just do like a windsurfing water start placing my feet on the board. \u00a0Yeah I know it sounds easy enough. \u00a0But it took me about 1 hour of many many trial and error. Finally I got the prize and I was up!! \u00a0For 2 seconds haha! I was at it for hours this day. \u00a0This video is I think back in February 2017. So much fun to kitesurf in lightwind! \u00a0it\u2019s quite a bit harder to do than with a kiteboard\u2026at least for me.<\/p>\n
