I have never tried kitesurfing. Which course should I book?+
We recommend the 6h Beginner Kitesurfing Course (฿14,400 private). A six-hour package gives you time to develop essential kite control and water skills, with the next steps tailored to your progress and the conditions. Some students may begin working on waterstarts during this time, while others need more practice with the foundations. If you only want to try the sport, the 3h One-Day Discovery Session is a short introduction you can build on later.
I have had kitesurfing lessons before. What should I book?+
Message us on WhatsApp and tell us what you have already learned. We adapt the exercises to your level – often a 2-Hour Kitesurfing Coaching session is the right start, or a longer package if you want to keep progressing.
Do we practise kite control on the beach?+
No. Theory, safety and setting up the equipment happen on the beach. Kite control is practised from the start in the water, with a full-size kite and your instructor beside you.
What is the difference between private and semi-private?+
Private is one student with one instructor – all of the practice time is yours. Semi-private is two students with one instructor and one equipment set used in turns; it is a good option for friends or couples who want to learn together. Semi-private prices are per person – for example 6 hours is ฿10,500 per person (฿21,000 for two).
How long is one lesson?+
Lessons usually last 2–3 hours. The 6h course is normally split into two 3-hour sessions. After the first 6 hours we often recommend continuing with 2-hour sessions – shorter, focused practice works well at that stage.
How many hours do I need to ride on my own?+
There is no fixed number of hours. It depends on the conditions, your fitness, your confidence in the water and any board-sport experience. We do not promise a first ride or independent riding after a set time – your instructor tells you honestly where you are after each lesson.
What happens if the wind is not right?+
Kitesurfing depends on the wind. If the conditions are not suitable, we offer you another available time or another day.
What if I cannot use my whole package because of the conditions?+
If the conditions do not allow you to use the package you paid for, we charge the hours you actually used at the matching package price and refund the difference.
Where do I go for my lesson?+
Our kite spots are seasonal: Nahai Beach in Hua Thanon from about mid-November to mid-March, and Nathon on the west coast from about May to mid-September. Our Kite Office is a different place – lessons do not take place there. The exact meeting point is confirmed individually via WhatsApp.
When should I arrive for my lesson?+
Please arrive at least 20 minutes before your scheduled lesson to complete payment and any necessary preparations. Your booked lesson time is the scheduled start time, not your arrival time. Late arrival does not extend your lesson. Guests are responsible for arranging their own transportation to the confirmed meeting point.
Which languages do your instructors speak?+
Depending on the season, we may have instructors speaking English, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese and Spanish. Not every language is available at all times, so please confirm with us before booking.
Do I need insurance?+
Equipment insurance applies during supervised lessons. For yourself, we recommend personal travel or sports insurance that explicitly covers kitesurfing and medical costs. Not every travel policy includes kitesurfing, so please check yours before you come.
Do I need to be very fit?+
No. The harness takes most of the pull and good technique matters more than strength. You should feel comfortable in the water and be ready for a few active hours in the sun.
How do I book?+
Send us a message on WhatsApp with your dates, the course you would like and whether you prefer private or semi-private.
