You might need some luck to score waves in the Southchinasea in September. In any case you should bring your kiteboard coz the wind in Subic bay gonna be pretty much sideshore ! But not as strong as during the NE moonsom, so bring a big kite wink

also try kite surfing along the south china sea.  generally, wind there is less obstructed and more powerful.

Thanks guys for your advice
maybe get some wrap around never know but yes that time of the year is all about the Pacific.
The pacific ocean side was huge (7-9 ft plus backs) on the last trip.Bet that Baler place was good if it was'nt too big!
 Could'nt take the time to make the 9 hour one way winding mountain road from heck drive to surf that side of Luzon.
(but sure wanted to)

There was even some freak typhoon off of Japan last trip end of Dec 03/Jan04. Had some giant (in the ocean 10-20 feet+ Hawaii size) waves at the tip of Luzon wrapping all the way down to zambales.

By the time I got there of course the swell had passed.
We were on china sea side.Us working people only get the time to pass through and limited travel time (wa) so have to make the best of it.

Thanks for the advice on the kite sizes. Yes that place north of there is better direction and strength for sure.
Nice beaches and water quality is better too.

Might have to make the trek to Cebu/Sariago/"secret"(?) spot or take the "mountain road rally" drive challenge.

On an unrelated note could not see the pictures posted in the forum here (unless they are hyperlinks) just getting the x boxes...lol wanted to post some pics will hyper them in later...aloha J
