What’s So Awesome About It
Windsurfing offers the best of both worlds for those who can’t decide whether to go sailing or surfing. This sport uses the force of the wind and the buoyancy of the water to enable the rider zoom across the surface of the water. It is truly an awe inspiring feat, to whiz past as you constantly keep trying to balance yourself against the wind and the sea, with a picturesque view to keep you inspired.
The ideal time to go windsurfing in Krabi is between November and April. If you are after the bigger waves, the monsoon season from April to November, brings some impressive ones.
