STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“Freestyle is an amazing academy! Everyone is so friendly, professional, and always prepared to help. They ensure all equipment is safe and well-maintained. I had my lessons with Emman, his instructions were clear and always makes sure of his student’s safety. If I had any questions or was unsure of anything he was always able to help and throughout the sessions he remained patient. Overall, I would highly recommend Freestyle Academy!”
“If you are kitesurfing in Boracay, Freestyle is 100% the place to do it. They are incredible! We went from never kitesurfing to being fully independent riders in 1 week. All of the instructors are super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They have high performance gear that’s great for learning and riding in any condition. The entire team made our experience so great that we will be lifelong kiters now thanks to them!”
“We have spent 3 wonderful weeks in Boracay, kiting at Freestyle Academy and this is probably the best spot. The owner and all the staff are always ready to help with basically anything you need and not to mention they are the best riders, so tips and tricks included if needed. I enjoying riding and watching them ride also. So, thank you and see you next time”
IKO AND IWO CERTIFICATION
When you train with us, you’re working toward a real credential, not just a lesson. Every course follows the official IKO (kitesurfing) or IWO (wingfoiling) curriculum. For kitesurfing, upon completion, you’ll receive your own IKO V-Card — a digital certification recognized by kite and wingfoil schools worldwide.
That means your progress travels with you. Rent gear or continue lessons at a different destination, and your V-Card shows exactly what level you’ve reached — no guesswork. See the IKO level chart to find out what each stage covers and where you’d start.
