Kite Courses

KITESURFING IS SPORT FOR EVERYBODY! As long as you are able to walk by yourself and your weight is higher than 30kg. We teach kitesurfing with the methodology of international standards, which means that after the course you will be given an online license and every skill you acquired will be checked on the list of this license. It means that you can continue the course whenever and wherever you want from the point you stopped here. The most important things for us are your safety, progress and fun with a strong accent on the first one. Kitesurfing is an easy sport, especially on Koh Phangan but do not believe anyone who tells you that you can learn to be an independent rider within a span of a few days. It’s impossible. Spots and conditions all over the world are different, and our goal is to prepare you for the best possible way to enjoy your kitesurfing adventure wherever you want. We do neither push our students nor estimate the average time needed to be independent because it’s very personal and depends on many factors. However, kitesurfing is extremely exciting from the day one, and you will learn a lot of useful and fun skills from the very beginning.
