kitesurf spot

Spot currently openExpert level 12.16 | 121.4

Overview

Nagubat Island is a small island in the Western Visayas, Philippines, located in the waters between Romblon and Mindoro. The island is exposed to open sea conditions and catches winds from both the Amihan (NE monsoon) and Habagat (SW monsoon) seasons.

Very remote and undeveloped island. Accessible only by boat with no permanent facilities for kitesurfers. The open water position means consistent but potentially strong winds. Expert-level spot due to extreme remoteness, difficult access, and lack of rescue support. Only for fully self-sufficient expedition-style riders.
