Blue Palawan Open 2017<br />

The Philippines: Kite Park in true tropical style<br />

The Philippines<br />

Kite Park in true tropical style<br />

The tropical country of the Philippines. Not the first<br />

place you'd think of having a kiteboarding slider<br />

park. Nevertheless, nestled on the shoreline among<br />

the mangroves, lies Blue Palawan, home to Asia's<br />

first slider park. The island nation of the Philippines<br />

is privy to countless islands but the most famous<br />

for kiteboarding remains Boracay. Blue Palawan<br />

and Blue Kiteboarding are seeking to change that.<br />

Last year marked the inaugural event of the Blue<br />

Palawan Kiteboard Open, an invitational contest<br />

that brought the best in the world to ride the newly<br />

minted slider park. In February 2017, the second<br />

annual Blue Palawan Open proceeded without a<br />

hitch. Join me as I take you on a whirlwind trip<br />

through the Philippines. Prepare to get wet.<br />
