"I was in Pattaya for a few weeks looking for something meaningful to do when I by chance came across kite boarding. I got hooked up with some lessons, I loved it! Thanks!!"

"just finished some kite boarding lessons. have tried in some other places but winds were too strong and there were rocks and sea urchins. the teaching location was perfect. light winds and sandy beaches were perfect for a beginner. we even went out and i learnt board riding from a boat. that is an amazing way to learn. kite boarding is the greatest thing i have ever done and the team gave me a good running start. thanks to everyone there."

"Decided to take up kite boarding in August of 2012. I was introduced to mike and we chatted a bit. He was able to get me a lesson and a boat to take me off shore to get out from the shoreline. I completed the lesson and he still was holding one more lesson for me if I wanted. I had lunch with some friends and then we went to start the car and found the battery dead. I went to find mike and he was able to get the car started with his jumper cables. All in all I received outstanding service and would highley recommend kite boarding to anyone interested in learning. Mike was a straight up guy and was really helpful in getting me set up without any heads up."

Tell me more
Kite boarding involves using a power kite to pull a small surfboard on water and is a water sport for real adventure seekers! A three day package consists of about three to five hours a day.

The Three day beginners course gives you the skills to get up and going in a safe and confident manner and become IKO certified level two.

Pattaya is the ideal place for the sport as it is named after the strong winds which come from the South West at the beginning of every rainy season which makes it one of the best places in Thailand to learn kiteboarding.

The courses are run in English and at the end of the course you will be issued with an IKO (International Kite Boarding Organisation) Identification card which allows you to rent kite boarding equipment from other schools anywhere in the world.

Safety is of the highest priority and our school is a member of the Kite Safe Association.

This is one of the most exhilarating adventure and thrill seeking sports available and to do it in the tropical waters of Pattaya is a fantastic experience!

Pattaya is Thailand's premier beach resort and attracts annually more than a million tourists from all over the world. Pattaya provides high standard hotels, restaurants, sports, entertainment and shopping facilities.

The resort town of Pattaya is therefore an ideal place to learn kiteboarding.
