Ryan Cahilig

I had great kitesurfing lessons with Ryan! He explained everything clearly and I always felt safe on the water with him. There was also a relaxed and fun atmosphere, which made learning to kitesurf even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

First time on a kite. Leaving with confidence and enthusiasm for a new hobby that I plan to enjoy for years to come. The entire experience was amazing. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. My instructor was knowledgeable and good at communicating all of the skills and tools for what turned out to be a very successful 2 weeks in the water. Everyone at the school was kind and helpful. I was taught at a pace that was slow enough to learn and fast enough to stay engaging. I plan to return for more lessons soon!

Was the best choice to learn kitesurfing with Padayon Kitesurfing Center! William and his team made sure I was taken cared of with the best way possible - from my first inquiry (I brought my own equipment) with just basic kite knowledge to finishing 12hours riding! The kiteschool has a great vibe, everyone was very helpful, friendly and very passionate of what they do (the reception, assistants, beach boys, instructors)! It is inspiring to be greeted with smiles everyday! (Free coffee and water too!) Really privileged to have the watchful eye of Kuya Ryan as my instructor. Ryan was so skilled, hands on and professional. He made sure every sessions are tailored to my pace. He gave calm and clear instructions. I like how Ryan prioritized safety in every session making sure I don't feel nervous in the water. I also liked how he clearly articulated what I was doing wrong and made corrections for me to have success on the next go. His guidance really helped me to stay focused, be motivated and comfortable. I like how he also celebrate my wins (although often I celebrated early enough and lose focus lol) It was a wonderful and fun experience which made me feel grounded and the important thing is I now have the confidence to go kitesurfing! There's more to learn, top reason to return to Boracay! Will definitely recommend to people!

Ryan is really experienced. His capability of explaining all the details is amazing. He keeps motivating you with a steady enthusiasm so you never give up and learn faster than anyone else on the beach. He is always looking out for security first and makes sure that kiting is safe for you. Even under the hardest weather conditions, learning to kite with Ryan is like taking a walk on the beach. He has a unique skill to clearly tell you what you made wrong at the moment when you are looking for an answer. His explanation is so clear, that on the next try you can easily apply it and improve instantly. This was my best kite teaching experience ever!

Had a lot of fun and it was very safe and the instructor was very patient with me.
