Summary

Estamos localizados ao lado da rodovia #86 na cidade de Tainan, no sul de Taiwan; a praia aqui é larga e arenosa e o tráfego é conveniente para conectar o centro da cidade e a área da praia. Somos o primeiro clube de kitesurf em Taiwan desde 2004, com mais de 30 membros ativos; 8 de nós convidaram o examinador Xavier Roussos para ir a Taiwan e todos nós passamos no nível 1 de instrutor da IKO em 2011, e 2 de nós ensinam kitesurf há mais de 10 anos até hoje. Nós nos associamos ao governo da cidade de Tainan nesses anos e decidimos criar uma escola IKO para promover mais as atividades na praia e o treinamento para a corrida olímpica de kitesurf. Oferecemos aulas de kitesurf e aluguel de equipamentos e, no futuro, ofereceremos aulas de kite-foiling e wind foiling. O instrutor Kyle (eu) fala inglês e chinês, e eu ensino principalmente alunos de língua inglesa de todo o mundo desde 2011.

Melhor época

The weather here is mostly worm and sunny. I would say the best season is from September ~ March or April. The wind is stronger in the winter and lighter in summer. The wind in summer is 6~15knots. The temperature in summertime is hot, usually 30~37 Celsius. During summer time we have some typhoons here but not much, sometimes one day before the typhoon the wind is very good. Summer time is also our raining season but the raining season is short and the raining day is the only the day we don’t go the beach. In summer time we often do kite-foiling and wind-foiling with foil kites. Autumn the north-wind start coming and the wind is getting stronger in autumn and winter. The wind is 10~20 knots sometimes above 20~25 knots in the winter. The temperature in Autumn is still very worm and no wetsuit needed. The temperature in winter is around 15~25 Celsius and 5~15 Celsius when cold front comes. We need 3mm wetsuit in the winter, 5mm is uncommon and boots and gloves is not necessary. Generally, we can do kitesurfing nearly every day.
