Roxas is a protected lagoon system on Capiz Province's northern coast of Panay Island, Philippines. The spot features a complex network of fish ponds, channels, and shallow water areas typical of intensive aquaculture regions. The coastline faces east toward the sea, making northerly winds (0°) the primary side-shore direction for kitesurfing.
The lagoon offers sheltered, shallow conditions suitable for absolute beginners and land-training practice. However, the spot presents significant limitations: extremely low wind reliability (0.4% average), minimal wave generation (0.36m average), and choppy water conditions. The landscape is heavily modified with fish farm infrastructure, creating navigation obstacles and requiring careful route planning.
Best conditions occur during stronger wind periods in dry season months. The lagoon remains relatively flat regardless of conditions. This spot suits kite learners during occasional wind windows or those seeking to practice in protected, shallow water. Strong local knowledge and familiarity with the pond infrastructure is essential for safe navigation.
