Lakawon Island

Lakawon Island is a small lagoon-style spot in the Philippines surrounded by dense tropical forest and shallow turquoise water. The crescent-shaped island creates a protected lagoon environment with limited water depth and fetch distance. The coastline primarily faces northeast into the protected lagoon area, making northwest winds the optimal side-shore direction for safe kitesurfing along the available riding zone. This is a beginner-friendly location due to flat water conditions and protected setting, though the shallow lagoon demands careful navigation around submerged vegetation and reef structures. Wind reliability is low (8.6%), and average wind speeds are modest at 7.4 knots, making this spot seasonal and wind-dependent. The enclosed lagoon format means riders should expect variable wind patterns due to forest influence and limited consistent pressure. Best suited for light-wind riders seeking flat-water progression in tropical settings. Avoid heavy boat traffic near the moored vessel and stay aware of shallow zones. The lagoon's small size limits long-distance riding potential.
