Kite Zone Phuket is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Friendship beach, Chalong bay 14/12 Soi Mitrapap, T. Rawai, Thailand
I stayed at Kite Zone for 5 days. Dave and his team were fantastic. The atmosphere is excellent, both on and off the water. The wind was good in the mornings but died down by afternoon. There is still plenty to do on the premises in the afternoon and the atmosphere is so laid-back that it makes you want to just lay around, drink beer, and relax the afternoon away. I can’t say enough positive things about my instructor, Wit. He was always smiling and eager and has a knack for being a teacher. This facility is far better than the other place down the beach as it appears to be just an empty field down there. I met lots of cool and interesting people while I was there and wouldn’t hesitate to go back in an instant. The only advice that I’d have to give people thinking of coming is that one day is not enough for you to be proficient at kiting. It took me a couple days before I got up on the board and could actually get moving a bit. Upwind is still difficult, and I’m good on a board (snowboarding, wake-boarding, skateboarding). If you come for one lesson and hope to be up and kiting, you’ll likely be disappointed. So book a few days instead and enjoy the atmosphere and the inexpensive food and drinks on the beach.
After taking a few classes elsewhere in Thailand and ALMOST standing on the board — I managed to do it with the Kitezone team! They’re really passionate about kiting & kind and patient! Totally worth your time if you’re in Phuket.
To be honest I was expecting much better experience after reading all those nice reviews. First issue was the lack of communication. First of all no information was provided what to wear, how the lessons will look like. And I am a complete beginner, so for example informing me that shorts and long sleeve would be the most comfortable for kite lesson – would be appreciated. Secondly- information about the course for example that you need at least 3 hours to stand on the board. First hour was spent on talking, second on standing in the water and trying to control the kite. This information would be helpful especially if a person is spending one hour in the car just to go there – so basically you need to spend entire afternoon on this activity. Finally, the most unprofessional and irritating issue – the price. Agreed on the semi – private lesson which was meant to be 1100- and 2 minutes literally before starting the lesson I am informed that the other person is not coming – so it will be private now which costs 1600- and none of that was my fault. Then I was offered a 15% discount which was not respected by the staff. I basically spent 1600bhat for standing in the water for one hour. Super super disappointed- especially that I planned to spend 6 weekends from now till end of July doing kite surfing- and now I don’t even want to do it anymore thanks to this treatment. I’d advise to go somewhere else, where they treat you fairly and you get the price agreed from the beginning. Real shame.
We spent one week for Christmas at a nearby hotel. As we have been fascinated by the club atmosphere, food, drinks and music we did visit Kite Zone every day to hang out. BBQ was world class 😋. We can fully recommend this place 👍. Next time we need to learn kit surfing 🏄
Having had a couple of informal lessons back in the UK, I was keen to head somewhere safe and professional to learn how to kitesurf properly. I came with my partner (who wasn’t kitesurfing) and signed up to a 10hr one to one course. I was paired up with a great instructor (his name was Wit and I HIGHLY recommend him) and although the winds were (unusually) low, he got me up on the board and kitesurfing within a couple of days. He even sent me out on a foil kite which was amazing fun! Kitezone itself was chilled, fun and friendly with extremely tasty local food and drink and chilled out music – the perfect place to hang when not out on the water. The beach itself is ideal for both beginners and pros, a huge, shallow area with constant on shore winds. The winds dropped on my last couple of days there and I was only able to get 7 out of the 10 hours in, Dave only charged me for the 7 hrs so they are very flexible for the weather conditions. A great price too – you won’t find it cheaper elsewhere for the high quality of instruction and equipment you get here. All in all, I had a wonderful time and I can’t recommend this place enough. Kitesurfing, a beautiful beach, sunshine and Chang – I will certainly be back again. A huge thanks to Dave, Wit and the Kitezone team!
I had never kited before and it took me 9 hours to learn it. I had a great instructor named Tomek. A very professional and patient instructor. I paid 15000 baht for 10 hours- and got back 1500 baht for the hour I did’t use. A great place runned by a very nice guy called Dave from England. Highly recommended.
Perfect place to learn kite surfing. Especially if you are at 0 level. The lagoon is perfect for that! Wind is all the time to the shore and the lagoon is super wide what give you a lot of place!The place is good. They have also bungalows what you can rent (I was staying with my wife and 9 month old daughter). I could recommend them as well, for 3-5nights it could be great! It’s clean, housekeeping every day, directly on the beach front. What you could not love that the beach is influenced by the tide. And usually after 1p.m. You will not be able to lie on the beach, because the see will be 500metrs away. But as I mentioned it is perfect for the kite surfing lessons. If you want to do beach tourism highly recommended all western part of the Phuket island. Also this place is quite remotely, would be good to rent a scooter here. You can rent it for 250baths per day and to leave only 1000baths deposit (they will not ask for your passport as a deposit too). It is good renting place, just across the main street on the market corner. 7 eleven is also walkable distance 550m. So in general I found this as good place to stay. Especially if you could get it for 1000baths. For 1500 I would definitely choose hotels around this place (like serenity resort).What concerns kite surfing lessons. Dave who run this place is a great guy! I used to meet two instructors Tomek and Dariusz, both were from Poland. And both were super good! Highly recommended to everyone! I had 7 hours lessons. 3 lessons 2 hours each and 1 lesson 1 hour long. After 6 hours I was able to do water start from the first attempt to left side. To the right side was still a little bit difficult but from 2nd attempt usually I succeed. To ride to the left side I could already on a high speed, long distance and against the wind. To right was a little bit still difficult. I could do that but not so easy. After 7hours of lessons, I feel able to continue learning by my own with only some advices from the more experienced what you could get on the shore. P.s. there is another place close by, what also do kitesurfing lessons. When you will see both place you will understand that there is nothing even to compare with. I think they are called KBA kitesurfing school. If they would do lessons for the 50% price of Kite zone then it would be worth to consider. But as the price are almost identical don’t event consider that place as an option! :)So guys in Kite Zone have a good luck! My best wishes to Tomek, Dariusz, Dave, his wife and his daughter! And see you somewhere! 😉
Excellent instruction from Thomas. Pretty chilled spot if you’re just looking to realx. Will definitely be going back for more!
Great kitesurfing school with friendly people. Nice little restaurant where they do good local food and the beers never run out. Nice place right on the beach where you can either kitesurf or just watch
Great and patient instructor got me up and riding really well. I kited here for a week and it was such a great experience. Great people and great times. Highly recommend.
