ABOUT US
Mango Riders is a kitesurfing and wing foiling school based on Bulabog Beach in Boracay, Philippines. We’ve been teaching and riding here since 2008, sharing our passion for wind, water and the freedom that comes with it. Whether you’re taking your very first lesson or looking to improve your riding, our goal is simple: to help you enjoy the water safely, confidently and to the fullest. We believe learning to ride should be fun, personal and relaxed. That’s why we keep our groups small, use quality equipment and adapt each lesson to your experience and the conditions of the day. Come ride with us, discover Boracay from the water, and become part of the Mango Riders family.

WHEN TO VISIT US
Boracay’s main kitesurfing season runs from around November to April, when the Amihan trade winds bring consistent northeast winds to Bulabog Beach. This is the best time to visit if your main goal is kitesurfing or wing foiling. The wind is generally strongest and most reliable during these months, although conditions can vary from day to day. Outside the main season, the wind direction changes and Bulabog Beach becomes less suitable for kitesurfing. However, Boracay remains a great destination to visit year-round, with plenty to enjoy on and off the water. If you’re planning a kitesurfing or wing foiling trip, we recommend visiting between November and April.
ACCOMMODATION
There are plenty of accommodation options on Boracay, from budget-friendly hostels and guesthouses to comfortable hotels and resorts. For easy access to Mango Riders and the kitesurfing action, we recommend staying around Bulabog Beach. This puts you close to the water, our school, restaurants, shops and other island activities. If you’re not sure where to stay, feel free to ask us. We’ll be happy to recommend options that suit your budget and preferences.
NIGHTLIFE
Oo yes, we have a nightlife! We have after-surf parties almost every night. Show must go on, until the wind pick up again!
