Kitesurfing on Koh Samui
One of the best beginner-friendly kite spots in Thailand
Kite Club Koh Samui follows the wind between two beaches. From December to April we teach at Nahai Beach on the south coast (GPS 9.4312°N 100.0193°E) — a quiet sandy beach with shallow, flat water and NE wind in December, turning SE during January, typically 12–20 knots and most consistent January–March. From May to October we move to Nathon Beach on the west coast (GPS 9.5333°N 99.9333°E), next to Nathon town and the main ferry pier, where the SW monsoon brings typically 10–18 knots, usually best in the afternoon. Water is 27–30 °C all year — no wetsuit needed.
IKO & IWO certified school
Our senior instructors hold IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) Level 3, and wing foil is taught to IWO standards. Our multilingual team teaches in English, Russian, Arabic, German, Ukrainian and Thai, taking riders from complete beginner to independent level. Courses from 5,000 THB include all equipment and a personal progression plan.
Two monsoons · two beaches
Koh Samui gets wind from two monsoons, so the school moves with them: the E–SE wind at Nahai Beach from December to April (strongest and most consistent January–March) and the SW monsoon at Nathon Beach from May to October (more variable, afternoons usually best). October–November is a lighter, variable transition — Samui's rainy season runs roughly October–December. On no-wind days we offer e-foil, kayak and SUP.

What Our
Students Say
Real Google reviews of our home school on Koh Phangan — the same team and teaching method, now on Koh Samui.
"Great kite surfing school! The team at Kite Club got me from zero experience to being independent. Instructors are skilled, attentive, and great at explaining everything clearly. I progressed faster than expected and felt confident every session."
"I was a total beginner — Roman was a great teacher: clear explanations, good structure, very patient. Safety was top priority but he ensured I had fun too. Communication with staff was very clear, especially regarding wind forecast. Highly recommended!"
"Three wonderful days at Kite Club on Koh Phangan. All instructors are highly trained, attentive, safe. I had never stood on a board — after my third session I was already riding. If you want to learn kitesurfing, this is the perfect school."
