Serfing Asia
Unfortunately, amateurs of this kind of sport, but for the happiness of beachers, surfing and Samui Island are things that are almost incompatible. There's almost never a big wave here, and that's the island and it's the one that attracts pilgrims who don't like big ocean waves. There are no ocean waves, because Samui is in the Siamese Bay and is well protected from them and winds from all sides. Some waves can be "drink" in the lowest season, October-December, but it's like a maximum wave for starters. Accordingly, there is no surfer party here, the board is very small and only on the most popular beaches. The closest place to Samui is where to go after the surf is Phuket Island.
If you've been to Samui, and you certainly want to try happiness on the local waves, you should do it on the Chaveng and Lamay beachs.
Windserfing
This kind of sport in Samui is a little better than the surf. Windserfing only needs wind, and it's basically there. Safe shores, lack of underwater stones, predictable and warm round weather make the island one of the best in Thailand for all, and newcomers and experienced athletes.
On some of the Samui beaches, the wind blows around a year, it's Boput and Maenam. Playing on the east coast can also please Windserfing fans, but only seasons. Lamaie and Chavenge can catch wind from November to April, but there's nothing else to do.
There is a need for infrastructure for Windserfing at Samui. Apart from the rental, there are some newcomer schools. The cost of individual training will be approximately 1,500 baht per two-hour course (this is approximately $50). One of the most popular Windserfing schools in Samui--
Kiteserfing
Kitesurfing or Kitebording (Kiteboarding) at Samui is one of the fastest popularity of water sports. The conditions here are just great: the wind, the waters are safe, the underwater rocks are small, the water and the air are warm round. As for the Windserfing, the best places for the round year are the beaches of Boput and Mae Nam, and in Lamai and Chavenge, the wind season lasts mainly from November to April.
The rental of equipment can be found without problems, especially on popular Boputo, Chavenge and Lamai. There are many schools and private trainers, but badly, and very many tourists. At Mae Nam's beach, natural conditions are great, people are small, and one of the well-known kiteserfing schools is located here.
- Selling equipment and kiteserfing equipment - 1,000 bats per hour.
