Philippines Kiteboarding lessons?

[tringlarido]

So after reading these posts, I decided to go to Ocean Republic. This was a super choice thanks !

My top priority was to find the cheapest rental. So they do 290 euros for 1 week rental. From all what I searched, I can say that this price is very good. For this price you have brand new gear and very excellent service. The guys there do everything for you ! they setup the kite, launch if if u re beginner, and they pack the kite at the end, even the bar !

From what I heard, other schools at same spot seems to be more oriented on making profitable business.. One guy for example came from another concurrent school Isla, he said the instructor gave him only poor comments and literally just watched him, so he decided to try another school.

Best thing about Ocean republic is the quality of their teaching and the interactions with instructors.
Glen the manager here really takes care of everyone, gives you advises even if u don't take lessons, and is very available and very genuine with the business. The other instructors were good as well. If you rent, you will have advises everyday. I had also a safety rescue lesson in the water teached by english guy, who made it very clear ( some people say that other schools don't like to teach safety rescue because it is unsafe.. ). If u re beginner, renting and struggle to go upwind, instructors did not hesitate to help u take the kite and brings it upwind for u !

The equipment we used for lesson and rental was brand new, slingshot kites rally 2012, and nobile boards, so that part was perfect.

I can only compare with 2 other schools I went in fuerteventura. Red shark and flag beach. Instructors there lacked teaching and communication skills compared to this one. So I can honestly say that Ocean republic rocked with real emphasis on the quality of the teaching.

You can call 0920-946-3925 or visit http://www.kiteearth.org or http://www.facebook.com/kiteearth. There are beaches an hour away from Manila, Philippines. Specifically Cavite, Tanza, Taal lake. Kite Earth offers shuttle service as well. The beaches are pretty choppy, which is good for wave style, and the water is brown due to the sand. In Taal lake and Caliraya lake there is boat assistance. Kite Earth instructors really communicate to the student, they don't just leave them out there and expect the student to learn on their own, like what happened to me in Boracay. Every step is repeated over and over to ensure muscle memory. They use an IKO approach plus other tips from youtube videos. Plus, it's super budget, being only P6,900/ 3 hours or 153 USD!

hi
I took a lesson in Negros island in December 2018 at Dauin beach. The plan was to come there to see turtles and coral reef, visit Apo island. Then I met instructor Ilya, KiteLevel kiteschool, I guess - he put me upwind riding in 2 hours! the spot is narrow but there was just few fellows kiting - so I had plenty of space to practice. He had brand new Airush kites. Also provided helmet, life jaket and even wetsuit! Also he adviced couple of cool places to visit - local hot springs, waterfalls and sunset viewpoints - so we had really great time with my girlfriend! Must visit!
