Rayong Windsurfing Club - Meet the Man

Pi Somai is a legend. Like many of the people we are very fortunate to work with, he is a top bloke. He races and wins in the Master Class  at the local windsurfing slalom competitions and swears that Partying Hard and windsurfing can lead to eternal life. (ok I made that up).

He is currently building a beautiful new Windsurfing Club in Rayong "Ban Phe Windsurfing Club" where he teaches people how to windsurf, sails across to nearby Koh Samet Island and is generally a very happy chap when it is blowing.

He is an expert who knows and loves windsurfing and windsurfing equipement. A man who takes pride in and has a deep understanding of Windsurf Sails and Boards. He does all of our Windsurf Sail Repairs and looks after us and our customers like a father. He has recently been working with Remi Villa of Formula Windsurfing Fame on making refinements and modifactions to the new Starboard Raceboard Sail - the VO2MAX.

Ban Phe Windsurfing Club is South of Pattaya about 40minutes drive. A very beautiful part of the coast with great wind in the South West Monsoon. June to beginning of October. He is a dealer for every product we sell and will give you honest and accurate advice in Thai. His phone number is 081 715 3208

Phuket Windsurfing Shop, lessons, Rental and repair

Apart from being a really nice guy, Patrick of Bambou Adventure Team is one of those True Water-Men who never gets out of shape, no matter what happens. I was Windsurfing on Stand Up Paddle Boards with him when a huge swell broke on his head, unable to turn his board in time and ride away from the foaming white lip, he simply unhooked and wore the monster on his head. I could just see the top panel of his sail, then, It snatched his board and rig away and left him about 600M out to sea. After a few failed towing experiments in the impact zone, Patrick told me he would be ok to swim back and I should go ahead and rescue his gear from the shore break. Well that wave, broke his mast clean in two and tore the sail, but Patrick walked out of the shore break smiling, not even out of breath, shook my hand and said he was happy to make the memory with me. Not every day we see Mast high waves in Thailand...and Patrick is an expert at board and equipement repairs so it was not a big deal. On that day we were testing equipment in pretty extreme conditions. Patrick a Windsurfing and Sailing instructor has been living in Phuket for 17 years and knows where to go to get the best wind and waves at any time of year.
