THAILAND
KOH SAMUI ISLAND
Our new destination for Winter 2024/25!
Your learning paradise for kiteboarding, wingsurf, and efoil
Year round natural blessing
The second biggest island of the country, located at 25km from the coast in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui can be reached by plane directly from Bangkok, or with a bus or train ride with a ferry connection at Surat Thani.
Part of a national parc composed of an archipelago formed by 85 islands, Koh Samui is rich in natural resources. Its main economic activity was initially that of fishing, then the extraction from coconut trees, and more recently tourism. Beautiful white sand beaches and corals have attracted an increasing international clientele.
The climate is pleasant year round, relatively dry with temperatures around 30 degrees celcius. The island is blessed with constant light winds from the East during the winter months.
Kite and Wing surfing Spot and School
Eastern winds blow from November to March, so during the winter months Mahalo Kite School is based by the Orchid Resort in the South-East of the island. Winds hit the shore safely side-on. Moreover, the spot is protected by a reef, which makes the waters calmer. Ideal conditions for learning kite and wing surfing are also completed by the sandy bottom coupled with shallowness of the water:
During the summer months the island gets hit by winds from the opposite Western direction, characterized by less stable weather conditions. Different spots are then better for practicing kitesurfing, mostly in the North and West side of the island.
