kiteboard tour asia's boracay leg

When the original 2013 KTA schedule was released, Boracay in the Philippines was to be the first tour stop in January, a month of guaranteed wind in this kiting paradise. January is also the best month for kite tourism and local kite businesses and by there being a KTA stop in the middle of this month it would limit the opportunities for the local kiters. KTA’s mission is to grow kiteboarding in Asia and thanks to the support of our understanding and forward thinking local sponsors Aqua Boracay by Yoo (www.aquaboracay.com) the alternate date of 26 to 30 March was set and what a week it turned out to be.

This Easter break also known as ‘Holy week’ in the Philippines is one of their biggest holiday weeks and Boracay was teeming with people. The start of April is also considered the kiteboarding season end on Bulabog beach, with the winds turning 180 degrees and the kiting venue moving across to the famous White Beach. The KTA however seem to have wind wherever they go and it was once again true with not a windless day for the 4th KTA Boracay event in as many years.

boracay named 'world’s best island'

Boracay has been named as this year’s world’s best island getaway by an international travel magazine.

The magazine’s editor, Nilou Motamed, made the announcement Friday on the “Today” daily American morning television show that airs on NBC.

“The world’s best island, I confess to never having heard of it in the Philippines,” “Today” host Willie Geist.

“This is important, Boracay. It beat out Bali, number 2. It’s one of those islands you should know about if you’re interested in culture and value,” Motamed told Geist.

Boracay is indeed a sports tourism paradise! From swimming delights to volleying a ball on its crystal-white powdery shorelines, one does not run out of ways to unleash dynamism and energy into a superbly magnificent and active recreation in Boracay.

An amazingly-big crowd of local and foreign competitors and spectators from 20 countries trooped to Boracay from February 24 to 27, 2010, for the 1st Kiteboard Tours Asia. Supported by the Department of Tourism, the event showcased the rising popularity of another water sport that the Philippines can confidently host.

Kiteboarding (or kitesurfing) usually requires different boards and specific performance kites. The boards with or without foot-straps or bindings, and are combined with the power of a large controllable kite to propel the rider and the board across the water. Both kiteboarding and kitesurfing are a surface water sport that uses the wind to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard). In kiteboarding, a freestyle or wake-style is used. This differentiates from kitesurfing which is more "wave-riding" oriented.

The Kite Tours Asia held in the Philippines was a perfect sample of a sports tourism event that once more made the Philippines proud of its stunningly-tropical climate, with a wind condition that is very conducive to kiteboarding.

This event (The KTA) has been formed to give an international platform to the skills and talents of kiteboarders throughout the Asia Region. It is the first international tour of its kind in Asia that will have to stop in five different countries between September 2009 and March 2010.

Open to everyone, amateur and pro riders alike, the KTA in its first year will be running two disciplines (freestyle and course racing) at each tour stop in accordance with the new unified international competition rules by the International Kiteboarding Association (IKA).
The philosophy of the KTA is to start slow and grow steadily to especially give homegrown riders the opportunity to experience the fun and excitement of being part of an international competition scene. It hopes to provide a stepping stone for the Asian region’s best riders into the pro tour scene by giving them exposure to high level competition at a more local level.
