    Highly recommend! I had a really fun time learning to kite surf as a complete beginner. Philip and the team are amazing. Professional instructors, great location, good vibes and the cutest dogs!

    BEST one on the island , in terms of it all: location, beach (good size, has nice sandbank, very little rocks or corals, good distance to ride, not crowded), equipment (as far as I know, the only school that has every size foil kites to rent, if you prefer), AND instructors are professional and fun to learn from. This will make your whole experience easy, safe, and stress free / enjoyable. But, do yourself a favor, don't take my word for it, take a ride down the coast and *** VISIT THE SCHOOLS BEFORE YOU PICK.*** Meet the people you will learn from, feel the vibe. Avoid the crazy, angry, stressed out yelling ones at a couple of other more commercial places ;)

    5 stars all around! Philip and his team are all such cool people to hang around with and they even got me up riding the board within the first couple of hours! The location is great, the people are awesome and I couldn't recommend KITEFLIP enough.

    After looking through multiple kite surf schools on Koh Phangan, I decided to go with kite flip because I felt like it was the most professional based on the website. when I had started speaking to Philip to organize my lessons and arrived at the center, I was not wrong about their level of professionalism. They have high quality gear that caters to multiple wind speeds. I learned with Anixi, who is very knowledgeable and patient. Schedules we are absolutely reliable (as the weather permits) and the communication worked out very well. So the only thing I can say is all thumbs up so super super plus! Another very important thing for me was that all of the instructors have very good English speaking skills. Thanks to Philip, Anixi and everybody involved.

    Good equipment, good teachers and amazing spot! I extended my time in Phangan because the kitesurfing with Kiteflip was so good!

    Recently had my first kiteboarding lesson at KITEFLIP, and I was thoroughly impressed! The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and explained well. The equipment was top and the location was beautiful. Highly recommend for anyone!

    Kiteflip is the place to be for your kite surf lessons at Ko Pagnan! Philip is wonderful and his team of instructors very professional and kind. We enjoyed every minute!

    Great school for learning to kitesurf. The instructors were very friendly and supportative. They take the time to teach you and helps you improve. They have very good gear and good equipment to use. Recommend 100% this kite school. I did the beginners course and now I'm very excited to keep practicing this sport.

  • 5/5 Arnaud A. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly teachers, top quality material, many kite sizes to choose to ensure that we could always get out. The beach in front of the school is very quiet and no other school is located near so lots of space to learn. Finally, i got on the water with board on the very first day and I felt very secure learning with the team of Kiteflip. I can only recommend choosing Kiteflip.

  • 5/5 Naser S. 8 months ago on Google
    Yeh it was a start journey on kitesurfing, but what’s made it fun and exciting the team of Kiteflip at Koh-Phangan Communication was really helpful since beginning where training videos provided to start with before reaching the place, how to reach the island, where to find taxis or rental bikes, and where to go during the stay in the island for fun and activities. Instructors were helpful and even if you assigned to one instructor you will find other instructors supportive and helpful with tips. Training start with foil-kite to get familiar with kite and how to use it for dragging. Then tube-kite to buildup skills reaching board surfing with a kite So the steps will be like this: - Understanding and setup the kite - Wind strategy for kiting - Skills of launching, recovering & relaunch the kite from water and landing on the beach end of the session - Using dragging skills with and without board - Safety release and how to get to the kite or the beach safely - Getting on the board up and down wind - Folding the kite and how to keep the equipments clean and stored Equipments were new and they have nice setup for first, second , and third day. Also, they have advance kites to use. Renting Equipments after the 6 hours with good price and monitoring you from the beach and mostly you will see instructor kitesurfing around you in case of emergency needed Buying equipments new and secondhand with good condition and price Payment and hours calculation was friendly and smoothly adjusted with wind situation. I would like to mentioned that I noticed some of the schools on the beach training students with really low wind or with old kites where is no benefit added to training session. Mostly they just try to finish the hours for students. While in Kiteflip they will reschedule the hours smoothly for the right weather condition. I would like to thank the owner Philip who’s always on the beach from morning until sunset for his support, training, and tips to improve my skills.

    Had my first ever kite-lessons here and it was more than worth it. The instructors are really skilled and give you all the time you need depending on your personal level. If I come back, these guys will for sure see me again. Thanks for the awesome experience.

    Great kitesurfing experience with kite flip with my 3 kids. Philip hand his team were super dedicated, providing adapted lessons to each of us. I was super happy to ride again after 4years and my kids could learn fast. 😎🤟🏾

    Fun and professional Instructors were flexible with solid background ! I had lot of fun learning with Kiteflip and they allowed me to improve my skills hours after hours

  • 5/5 Manuel Alejandro Ruiz M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice people and amazing lesson. I was just for the discovery course, and they made sure that I got the best experience learning. Mahelo was super nice instructor, very helpful, and passionate about kite.

  • 5/5 Serkan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommended to anyone, this school is very professional and good with the equipments provided. I’ve seen some other kite schools not using life vest for example. In my opinion you just can not go wrong with this one, I am very happy to learn kite with them, and their student oriented approach helps a lot during this journey. Ofc in the end of the day it is your ability and skills to perform or not but they give the best support possible for a very good price.

  • 5/5 Samuel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cool guys. I did a discovery day for two hours and the homie came straight to the point. The price was also very good. I would definitely come back again

  • 5/5 Ostap S. 4 years ago on Google
    What a nice spot to learn the sport! I was a total noob and now I can ride upwind.😎 Instructors were super professional and friendly, even gave nice local tips 😊 The location is also quite good with shallow waters and steady winds. Equipment felt as if it was new. They also soon get e-foils Thanks to Philip and his team!

  • 5/5 Christian B. 1 year ago on Google
    Top school. Very good instructor, no matter if beginner or advanced. Easy to contact and book in. Good gear.

  • 5/5 Florian T. 1 year ago on Google
    The whole familiy was equipped and trained professionally and safely, children, as well as adults. Complete equipment available. Friendly, multinational, multilingual, and capable kiteflip-team. Communication on wind and orga easily and quickly through WhatsApp. Even the partial reverse payment due to missing wind in the end worked seamlessly. Kite-beach was not as beautiful as other kite locations on the island (beach bar was closed that season) for the ones not kiting, but the water-spot was perfect. We will defenitely come back...

    Very professional and experienced kite school. Always good lessons for the last two weeks. Philip and his team are top in teaching kitesurfing. We can definitely recommend kiteflip!

  • 5/5 Denise I. 1 year ago on Google
    Would highly recommend! Had the best time learning kitesurf w Etienne from Kiteflip! Classes were very easy to book through Philip, and good communication whenever wind was not collaborating :) Took the full beginner course and was very happy with the progress from day 1!! Finally, it’s beach location seems great for beginners like me.

  • 3/5 Vi M. 2 years ago on Google
    session was okay, water was quite choppy, instructions soso. dude says he gave me a discount even though it was the price on the website, why lie? Vibe felt a bit off to me. I also went to a another kite school further north, where the spot, instructions, value for money were way better, next time I would go there right away.

  • 5/5 Dawid M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great school. One of the few having both foil and tube kites available for rent. Instructors are professional and kind. Prices are good. Definitely worth visiting

  • 4/5 Alain D. 2 years ago on Google
    Super course with Kite Flip. I was with a french speaking instructor, very sympathic In advance I was affraid by the difficulty because I am 68 years old and not an athletic man. No problem. not necessary to be superman. Everything is in the technic. But do not expect to start with a board with a beginner course Nice expirience

  • 5/5 Marc S. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been kitesurfing for over 10 years and my girlfriend learned to kitesurf from Philip. With Philip you can feel the passion for kitesurfing. It feels like family from the first minute. We would like to support the KiteFlip Kiteschool and can highly recommend it. hope to see you again. Marc & Janine

  • 5/5 Pieter J. 2 years ago on Google
    Had 2 great kitesurf lessons @ kiteflip in Koh Phangan. The admosphere is relaxed. Instructor David and owner Philip were professional and very flexible, which is important because you are dependant on the weather in order to go kitesurfing. The lessons were very practical, which is nice if you want to get up to the board as fast as possible. Along the way theoretical elements pass by as well. Thanks guys!

  • 5/5 Luca L. 2 years ago on Google
    Super kite school in a relaxed location! I had a 1:1 teaching over 6 hours with Dawid, who introduced me to this fantastic sport. Can really recommend anyone who wants to learn kiting or improve their skills to come here.

  • 5/5 Christian P. 2 years ago on Google
    I started to learn kitesurfing here. Philip and his team are very experienced and friendly. Very good communication to schedule the lessons. The spot itself is awesome to learn. Flat and warm water and not so crowded. Highly recommended.
