FACTS About KATA - Hi all, I'm in Kata beach right now. Here are the FACTS:
- Unconsistent
- Only BEGINNER spot
- 1-2 foot waves no power
- Dozens of 100% beginners (drops in, crashes, go straight, throw boards, ecc...)
+ Nice warm clean water
+ Rent all kind of surfboards

If you surf at least "a little", don't come here!
If you want to star surfing (from zero) come here!

Overview - Who wrote the overview here? When did Phuket become supercheap and have undercrowded waves, someones living in a dreamworld me thinks!

Kuta rocks! - Surfed Kuta in July for 5 days after a big storm. Heavy sets, some great rides, not too crowded. Da Bungalows accross the road a great place to stay!

kata beach - was here in september and rented a board each day for about an hour (there were 3 different beachboy stands, averaged about $5 per hr) ... small sloppy windswell on the sandbanks I probably wouldn't even look twice at at home but the water was warm and the sun was out and it felt great to get wet and hit the lip a few times while in thailand...

No worry - There are sharks in Thailand, but not the dangerous ones... Kata Beach is a good choice.
And if you need to rent a board you must go to the end of the beach... "Phuketsurf.com"
Say hello to the 2 lovely ladys from Peter from Belgium :-)
Grtz and have a good surf !

sharks ? - Hi everyone,
I'm expecting to go to phuket in may. i'd like to surf someday, in katabeach b'cause it feels like the best, but I dont't know how dangerous it may be in this place. I was in Reunion island last year and many legs were on the menu for these great fishes. Please inform me. Thanx

How is the surfing in March? - May be taking my boys to Phuket for spring break - March 10 to 24th. They are 15, 13 years old and beginner surfers. Is Kata beach suitable and safe, sharks/undertows that sort of thing?

Not bad at all - I came here after two months in Indo. In the low season no less. Waves were samll and slow, about waist high and consistent all week. Plus, a coupla balinese in the lineup even had some fun. Very short rides though.
