Kitesurfing Locations in Koh Phangan

We follow the best wind conditions around Koh Phangan, which means our teaching location changes throughout the year. Instead of staying at one fixed spot, we choose the beach that offers the best conditions for learning on the day.

Where do we teach?

Mid-January to April: We usually teach at Infinity Beach Club, where the seasonal wind conditions are ideal for kitesurfing lessons.

May to August: Our main teaching area moves to Thong Sala Beach, following the change in wind direction.

November to mid-January: We normally move to the northern part of Koh Phangan, where conditions are more suitable during this part of the season.

When conditions require it, we also travel to other kitesurfing spots around the island, including Haad Rin and Srithanu. This flexibility allows us to choose the safest and most suitable location for your lesson rather than being limited to one beach.

Why Koh Phangan is the best for kitesurfing beginners?

Koh Phangan is the best place in Thailand to start kitesurfing course simply because of the conditions – light wind and shallow water make lessons easy and comfortable. 

The best way to book a lesson is to contact us via WhatsApp, you can also click Whatsapp icon on the left side of this form (on the computer) or above the form (when you visit website by the smartphone). The faster you contact us the better we can plan our schedule that is heavily dependant on the wind.

Koh Phangan is kitesurfing paradise that offers big variety of accommodation. From hostels giving you full-time entertainment to luxurious villas or bungalows. The island is relatively small, so you can easily access any part of the island in 20 minutes on the motorbike. However, if you want to stay close to the kitesurfing spots then we strongly recommend finding an accommodation on the southern coast of the island - Tong Sala and Ban Tai areas. The only exception is November/December (sometimes middle of January as well) where we teach on - Chaloklum Beach - the northern coast which is very relaxed and family oriented part of the island. If you plan to come in these months and stay close to the kitesurfing spots, then look for accommodation in this area.

Kitesurfing is one of the easiest water sport available on the market. Experience from other sports is not required, as well as you don't need to be very fit to enjoy it. You also don't need to be very strong - the kite pulls you by the harness attached to your waist. It's perfect sport for everybody - men, women, elders and children that look for a unique experience and trill powered by the elemnents. Since island is full of the shallow water spots, it makes kitesurfing in Koh Phangan even easier as you will not waste much of your energy moving or swimming in the deep water. That's exactly why Koh Phangan is the perfect kitesurfing place for beginners.

All you need to bring is swimswuit and sunscream. Optionally sunglasses. Rest of equipment is provided by the school.

We teach everywhere on the island. We're the only school in the island that changes the spot accordingly to tide levels and wind if needed. That gives us more time in the water with comfortable conditions for our students.

The main wind season starts from December to end of April/May. It's time when monsoon season switches to dry and you can experience wind from north, east and south. Second season starts in June and lasts until September. It's time where wind hits from the west / south west. Wind is stronger in general during this time but less consistent.

To be able to make a lesson, wind is required. Some parts of the course require less wind than others therefore we schedule your first lessons in lighter wind. Mostly, lessons with the board require a little bit stronger conditions so we try to adapt planning to needs of our all students. Kitesurfing in Thailand is fun from the day one, so no matter at what point you going to finish your course, you can continue it later elsewhere.

Of course! You can continue your kitesurfing course in Koh Phangan or in any other place in the world thanks to the online licence you'll recieve. You will continue from the exactly same point you had finished.

Kitesurfing is the perfect sport to get in shape. It is a workout you don't feel you did. During the session, every single part of your body is engaged with you not even realizing it therefore it's perfect for people who are not big fans of the gym as well as for people who work out regularly. It positively affects your mental health as well. Kitesurfing gives a lot of freedom as you can jump / fly high and cruise wherever you want. Kitesurfing will benefit both your mental health and fitness!

You pay only for the lessons you have got. If the wind conditions won't let you finish the course, then you will get a refund for the remaining hours.

Anne
We hadden beide nog nooit gekite en waren erg blij met onze vooruitgang na de lessen. Doordat we met z’n 2e les hadden, kregen we zelfs 3hr extra les gratis. De communicatie ging super makkelijk via whatsapp en de lessen waren leuk om te doen.
