Kata Beach Surf Story

by Marty
(Tweed Heads )

Hi, my name is Marty!

I lived in Kata, a beautiful spot on the southwest coast of Phuket.

For a few years, I ran a small surf school on Kata Beach!

The people are really nice, and the food, well, that speaks for itself!

I’m looking forward to returning in the near future!

Yes, you can surf the onshore waves at Kata Beach throughout the monsoon season. It’s not a surf-trip destination, but it can be lots of fun on the right day!

I hear the surf in Phuket can get quite crowded now, though!

Happy holidays,
Marty

Marty, thank you for sharing your story about living and working at Kata Beach.

Kata Beach is beautiful, and what a fantastic location for a surf shop! It must have been a difficult decision to move back to Australia.

For our readers, I should add that there are quite a few surf schools along Kata Beach.

Surf Schools at Kata Beach

Along the northern section of Kata Beach, near Club Med, there are around four surf schools:
• Baosiam Surf School
• Surf Station
• Surf Begin at Phuket
• Surf School Surf Season

Along the southern end of Kata Beach, there are several surf schools, including:
• Kata Krew Surfing
• Coconut Surf Kata Beach
• Jimmy Kata Surf School
• Phuket Surfing
