About Kba Kitesurfing School Phuket

A serendipitous discovery in Thailand led to an unforgettable experience at a local kitesurfing school. The school was stumbled upon by chance, and the friendly staff, particularly a man named Fred, were more than willing to answer any questions and provide guidance. The school offered a one-day course to learn the basics of kitesurfing, which included one-on-one instruction with an experienced instructor named Jack. The process of learning to launch and fly the kite proved to be more challenging than it initially appeared, but the supportive staff and helpful instructional videos provided a solid foundation for learning.

The school's staff were not only friendly, but they were also genuinely interested in helping their students learn. Even the beach boys, who helped launch kites on the beach, would offer advice on what other kitesurfers were doing right and wrong. The school's flexible scheduling, based on the tides and wind, was greatly appreciated, as was the ability to extend the course duration as interest in the sport grew. The school's approach to teaching kitesurfing was highly praised, and it was recommended that aspiring kitesurfers approach the sport with respect and a willingness to learn the technical skills outside of the water.

Another visitor to the school had previously signed up for classes but hadn't managed to finish. They signed up for a Discovery Package and were paired with an experienced and considerate instructor named Khun Bank. The instructor quickly went through the setup and got the student into the water for hands-on time. The experience was described as exhilarating, and the student planned to return to make more progress. The school was also praised for its communication regarding changing wind conditions, which helped to avoid wasted trips.

The school has been described as the best kite school on earth by a visitor who had been kitesurfing since 2004. They had visited many KBA locations for lessons, rentals, and purchases and found them to be superior to other schools. The school's safety standards, management, professional instructors, and competitive prices for lessons, rentals, and equipment purchases were all highly praised.

The school was also visited in April when the warm thermal wind was blowing. The staff were described as welcoming and helpful, and they provided good support for equipment rental and purchase. The school was also a great place to learn kitesurfing while learning Thai with the locals.

Another visitor tried kitesurfing in Nai Yang with an instructor named Peter. Peter was described as a patient and experienced instructor. The visitor found kitesurfing challenging at first, but they eventually got on the board and received an IKO certificate. They were excited about the sport and looked forward to their next kite trip.

The school's patient instructors were praised by another visitor who managed to get up on the board after three days of instruction. Despite the wind being gusty and inconsistent, the instructors made changes and suggestions that helped the visitor learn quickly and relatively easily.

A visitor who learned kitesurfing with KBA a few years ago in Hua Hin decided to follow the advice to stay in Phuket. They found the spot to be amazing and the team atmosphere to be great. They have been returning to Nai Yang every summer since then and recommend learning with KBA to everyone.
