Kitesurfing in Dimiao, Bohol
May is the end of the amihan wind season in the Philippines, but there is still plenty of wind in Dimiao, Bohol. In this video, I’m testing the new Ozone Vortex kite.

More small waves at Doljo Beach in Panglao Bohol.
Here’s a short clip from February 2024 kiting at Doljo Beach on Panglao Island, Bohol.
No wind? No problem. Try stand up paddling (SUP) through the beautiful mangroves in Panglao Island, Bohol.
Linaw Beach, in front of Linaw Beach Resort and Solea Beach Resort is a great spot to kite during the habagat season (June through September). It likes wind from the Southwest.
Libaong Beach is a good place to kite during the Amihan season (from November through May) when the northeast tradewinds are blowing. Generally, it like a little more east, though it can work if there’s some north though it’s a little more sideshore and gusty.
Doljo Beach is an excellent place to kite during the Amihan season from November through May. It gets the northeast tradewinds, but really shines when the wind is a bit more North. There are several resorts on Doljo Beach, but you can also go to a semi-public beach at Dominguez Beach House and pay a minimal entrance fee.
Dumaluan Beach is a good place to kitesurf during the Amihan season when the northeast tradewinds are blowing (from November to May). There is a public beach and also a private resort called Dumaluan Beach Resort. Both will charge you an entrance fee, but the semi-public beach is probably cheaper. Then you can walk out to the beach and launch anywhere that it’s clear of people.
Kiteboarding in Dimiao is often a good choice and can turn on in either the Amihan or Habagat wind seasons. During Amihan, it likes straight east wind, and during habagat, it like plenty of south. Seaside Beach Park or Kaylaa Beach Resorts can both accommodate you for whatever you need, with Kaylaa being the nicer but more expensive of the two.
