Who can rent
We rent equipment to riders who can:
A certificate is not required. What matters is that you have these skills, because no instructor goes out with you.
Start with the Kite Refresher + Rental: one hour of private coaching, then one hour of rental on your own once the instructor confirms your skills. Or start with a coaching session.
Our equipment
We keep our equipment up to date, so you ride gear that works the way it should.
Twin-tip for freeride, a directional for a surf-style ride, or a foilboard with complete foil – as single items or complete sets.
Send us your weight, experience and dates on WhatsApp – we will tell you which equipment is available for you.

How rental works
No advance booking needed – you can come to the spot or ask us first on WhatsApp.
Message us on WhatsApp or come to our Kite Spot. Asking first saves you a trip if the wind or equipment does not fit.
We check the wind and which equipment suits your weight and level – including the right kite size.
Rentals of 1–3 hours are paid at the spot before you go on the water. Packages of 5–30 hours are paid in advance.
Set up your equipment and ride at our spot. Up to 15 minutes of setup time is not charged.
Bring the equipment back when you leave the water – that is when your rental time ends.
Rental terms
At Mahalo Watersports, we maintain a limited selection of quality kitesurfing equipment on Koh Samui.
All our equipment is imported, and replacing damaged or lost gear can be expensive and time-consuming. Even repaired equipment loses resale value, and having equipment out of service can affect our ability to provide lessons and rentals.
For these reasons, we apply a strict equipment responsibility policy for independent rentals.
If rental equipment is damaged, the renter is responsible and can choose between two options:
Option 1
50% of the equipment's current manufacturer's retail price + repair costs
Mahalo keeps the damaged equipment.
Option 2
100% of the equipment's current manufacturer's retail price
The renter keeps the damaged equipment.
If equipment is lost and cannot be recovered, the renter is responsible for 100% of the current manufacturer's retail price of an equivalent new item.
Normal wear and tear and pre-existing damage are excluded.
We explain these conditions before rental and handle any damage situation fairly and transparently.
If you are not comfortable accepting these terms, we recommend choosing a supervised lesson rather than independent equipment rental. Kitesurfing lessons →
