What kite size should I bring to Boracay?
The kite size calculator uses the Airush kite size chart for twin-tip riding. It suggests whole sizes for your bag; check your exact kite model and the forecast before packing.
One kite is centered on the median of your months’ wind-range midpoints. Two and three kites use separate calculations with space between sizes. Hangin supplies seasonal estimates, not measured wind statistics or a forecast. December and March use broad estimates.
If you are taking your first lessons, your instructor chooses the equipment. Check the Boracay spot guide for wind, tide and launch information.

What kite size do I need for my weight?
Enter your weight to compare packing sizes. This guide covers adults from 60 to 120 kg on a twin-tip. Ask Hangin for other weights or boards. For your first kitesurfing lessons, let your instructor choose the equipment.
What kite sizes should I pack for Boracay in December or January?
Choose your months above. January can reach 30 knots, occasionally 35, beyond this chart’s 28-knot limit. Check the forecast before packing and read the Boracay wind and season guide for Amihan and Habagat conditions.
How many kites should I bring to Boracay?
One keeps the bag light. Two add more choice as the wind changes; three add a middle size. Extra kites appear only when the month ranges support useful spacing. Check each model’s wind range with Hangin.
Should I bring my own kite gear or rent in Boracay?
Bring gear you know if you are comfortable travelling with it. Renting can reduce your luggage, or help if you need a size you do not own. Ask Hangin about kite rental and storage in Boracay for your dates, level and usual equipment before deciding what to pack.
Check your bag with Hangin.
