Boracay is pretty flat, maybe small chop, depends on tide.
I've been here a month and i've ridden 4 days out of 5 on
My 14 and 11. Yesterday was too windy for my 11. I like it here,
Plenty of infrastructure, but also funky. Water can get very crowded,
Lots of beginners and kiteschools. Also the wind is onshore. So, not
Perfect but a great place to hang out and kite december/january/february.

If you want strong winds and big waves, Kingfisher Resort in Pagudpud
Is amazing, bring a small kite and a surf board.

Is the water in Boracay still full of Colarabacteries. ? I hope they have stop the sewer pipes going right into the ocean. Two friends got very sick and have to return to there home countryes.

It was still very polluted at the beginning of 2012 . I don't think something has changed since then.

I'm in Boracay now, at the kiting beach,
And I havent noticed the beach or water stinks.
After a bit of web research I found they upgraded
Their sewage treatment plant in 2011 increasing capacity by 250% and
Hookups to 50%. They also upgraded their drinking water system.
Obviously they still have a severe pollution
Problem here but perhaps the situation is improving.
