Kiteboarding guidelines

Huahin Kiteboarding

Hua Hin kiteboarding is not recommended outside the Sofitel Central and anywhere further north due to submerged boulders and is forbidden towards to Royal residences where the beach is inaccessible and military patrols are present.

Most of the Kiteboarders practice their sport south of the Condochain hotel where the beach is long and flat, ideal conditions for kiteboarding although strong gusts can be experienced further south near the hill at Khao Takiab.

On this stretch of beach kiteboarders must be aware of jetskis, horses, fishing boats, the occasional banana boat and beach goers. Jellyfish can also be a problem in Hua Hin at certain times of the year, usually around May to October, appropriate clothing is recommended. Hua Hin is a tropical town so watch that sun and keep covered up, a rash vest usually does the trick!
