Work, work, work. Most adults in their twenties and thirties have consumed much of their young adulthood life in the world of work in order to guarantee themselves of a good future. But the future seems so far away. To paraphrase an adage, every breath we take leads us closer to that future, but in the meantime, it is the stolen moments in our average, ordinary lives which take our breath away. Perhaps you are tired of staring at that amazing beach wallpaper on your PC screen, with its azure seas, clear sunny skies and a hammock hanging loosely inside a small nipa cottage? Perhaps your mind and your body has been taking too much toll from the daily stress and hassles of urbanite living? Are you bored and ready for some fun and excitement during the Holiday or summer season?
Boracay has finally opened its shores to a new kind of sport - kitesurfing, also known as kiteboarding. In fact, Surfers Home Boracay is perhaps the only resort in this idyllic island which offers kiteboarding lessons, kite safaris and kite hopping thru different islands. First timers have a range of options to choose from these kiting activities. Furthermore, the hotel provides room accommodations for its visitors, with its cottages and bungalows fully equipped with furniture, cable TV, airconditioner, refrigerators and toilets.
Kiteboarding is a new, exciting water sport that is sure to attract adrenaline junkies, daredevils and sports enthusiasts.

For most beginners, the first thing is learning how to fly your kite. It may sound simple, but one has to familiarize himself with ground and wind speed, which are both crucial to allow the kite to take off from the ground.
