Kiteboarding Asia - Hua Hin

Based in: Thailand

The kitesurfing season in Hua Hin, Thailand is starts in February with the NE monsoons and continues till the end of April.

Hua Hin is the oldest beach town resort in Thailand and has the royal summer palace of the HRH King Phumiphon of Thailand located here. For this reason the town has kept its unique charm and its beautiful beaches. Our centre is situated in an ideal location away from the main tourist area, but only a 15 minute walk into the town centre. You can get a tuk tuk (mini taxi) from the town to our centre in 5 minutes. Our shop is home to our equipment store and training room as well as the wash down area and storage area.

Hua Hin is also our main test centre in Thailand for Airush kites and boards. If you are interested in purchasing equipment, you can test it out before you buy it. Hua Hin is a great place for all levels of kiteboarders. A 5 km long beach makes for great down winders, and it has the longest windy season in Thailand: from the start of November to the end of April.

The beach is relatively uncrowded and there is plenty of room to lay your kite down. In the summer months the beach opens up to around 100 metres in width during low tide. There is 30 or 40 km of coastline north and south of Hua Hin awaiting discovery.

Conditions: Hua Hin beach has choppy waves which get bigger as the wind increases, and a nice little shore break for shredding and boosting. Waves are smaller during the months of February to April. Some days in November to January can produce some big surf, great for the advanced kiter.

Water Depth: Chest deep at about 50m, sandy bottom.

Launch Area: Beach is fine sand with very few shells. Beach is widest in the summer months from February to May, up to 100 wide at low tide. Width decreases from November to January, and on occasion high tide can leave zero beach.

Seasons and Wind Information: November to January- the north-easterly monsoons, wind ranging from 8-20 knots. Wind blows in cycles averaging 6-10 days at a time. Wind is generally strongest in the morning decreasing over the day. Wind direction is generally northerly in the morning swinging slowly around to the north-east over the day. February to mid May - Afternoon sea breezes 12-20 knots, kicking in around 13:00, building until around 17:00 then decreasing as the sun goes down. Mid May to October ? the south westerly monsoons producing gusty offshore winds: the rainy season! A theory that the wind is stronger over the full moon period has been thrown about by a number of people. My experience seems to suggest that the full moon can create stronger winds... but not always. A friend of mine called Rodger also told me that in Hua Hin the wind always starts to blow on Fridays. So plan your trips to arrive a few days before a full moon and on a Friday if possible?!
