Free Style Kite Surfing is an amazing kite school with highly skilled instructors. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, friendly and full of warmth. Always remember to grab a coffee before hitting the water – it’s the perfect start to a great day! I’ve had the pleasure of taking lessons with Katong, and he is simply fantastic! 👍🙏

Fantastic kite operation! Johnrey was an amazing instructor - super attentive, professional, and extremely efficient in getting me up on the board after years of no flying. These guys run a masterclass in kite instruction - highly recommend for beginners to advanced riders.

Great place to setup from, easier to access, launch and return vs other places. The team is amazing! Storage doesn’t have lockers but the guys sleep onsite and they’re always there! Well stocked for equipment, mostly Ozone but other brands too, eg foils from Slingshot and F-one, doors from Crazyfly, and a choice of harnesses. Tasty coffee (IYKYK!) and delicious crêpes.

This is really a great school; I’ve been riding for a long time and I’ve seen from the outside how these guys teach. They’re fast, technical, and correct. The kite rental cost is very low; they provide new kites and always take care of you when you’re in the water. They’ll help you, inflate the kite, launch it, and if needed, they’ll change the size. They’ll give you everything you need, for example, shoes. I’ve been to an expensive school on this coast, but the service there was really bad; I’m happy I found this school. The 2 weeks on the baracue felt like a fairy tale to me. Это реально очень классная школа, я катаюсь давно и вижу со стороны как учат эти ребята. Быстро, технично, правильно. Стоимость аренды кайта очень низкая, кайты дают новые и всегда заботятся о тебе когда ты в воде. Помогут, накачают, запустят, если нужно поменяют размер. Дадут все необходимое, например обувь. Я была в дорогой школе на этом берегу, но там было очень плохое отношение, я счастлива что я нашла эту школу. 2 недели на барокае мне показались сказкой.

I did my beginners kite surfing course with John Rey, who was experienced, patient and gave good instructions for my progress. He was also flexible to move the classes around to have them when the conditions are good (wind, tide). Afterwards I could rent equipment and ride by myself. Great experience!

I loved learning to kitesurf with Freestyle Academy, all the coaches were super friendly and Ken has created a great family around his school. Derek was my 1:1 coach and across 9hrs I went from having never touched kite surfing equipment to being confident in the water and able to control the kite and board well, reaching IKO Level 3-J in that time! Safety was top notch and I always felt looked after, whilst riding with the latest kit, kept in perfect condition. Would 100% recommend to others and will be bringing my friends from Makati down to Boracay for them to learn too!!

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.
