Amazing 2 days - I had never kite before and I wanted to try, at first I was a little bit scared but Frank reassured me. He stood behind me until he know I... read more could do it on my own. Frank helped me super good and I was loving the experience. The second time I went with Carlo and that was also very good, he thought me body draining, I also was a bit scared, but he reassured me that I could do it. They were always positive and helping at all time. it were an amazing 2 days!

July 20, 2024Intimate Kitesurfing from a Remote Location - Had a fantastic kitesurfing experience here with Frank and Carlos. They use a remote island location, ideal for learning the sport without any beach/water traffic. Coupled with the high-quality equipment... read more and IKO-licensed teaching, I made great progress in my kitesurfing education over 2 days. The speedboat trip to the island and its sheltered resting hut are added bonuses, making any booking with Cambodia Kitesurfing a memorable day in Kampot I very much recommend!!!

Cambodia Kitesurfing - I went out and took some private lessons with Coach Alastair, most of the the communication was with Coach Frank (he was out of town while I was there) but... read more the communication and the coaching is awesome! Selfishly I want to keep this place as secret as possible but (that's just wrong lol). I also stayed at the hotel that is connected with Cambodia Kitesurf. Hotel Villa Vedici which was also great. The town of Kampot was lovely too. I've given kitesurfing lessons a crack at a few different places. This place by far was my best experience, I learned so much!

Amazing first kite experience - I had my first kite lesson and I had so much fun. The instructor was amazing! He made me feel comfortable trying kitesurfing, very good for beginners.
July 19, 2023Amazing first kiteboarding experience @ Kampot - Kitesurfing lessons were at the top of my bucket list during my tour in Asia. During my stay in Bangkok I googled kiteboarding schools in Cambodia. This is because I... read more have heard from acquaintances that Cambodia is a beautiful country and that kitesurfing also offers ideal conditions for it.
Through google I soon came across Cambodia kiteboarding and after one phone call I immediately got the friendly Frank on the phone. I was able to go for a lesson right away next week. The first day was devoted to explaining the material and safety rules. Soon we went into the water to practice with the kite. This kiteboarding school works with top equipment and also a handy headset in the helmet so that I could understand my instructor (Frank) at all times. The second day we started with waterstarting and thanks to Frank's good instructions I was already on the board after 2 attempts and I was kiting whoop whoop! What a great feeling it is once you get on the board and it made me fall in love with this amazing sport!
Frank is a really top instructor, you notice that he has a lot of experience and he makes you feel safe at all times through his instructions. Frank also has a lot of patience and I have seen that he can teach all levels.
Also not unimportant; he is a super nice guy and has the right dose of humor. The lessons were worth every dollar and I will definitely be back to scale up my level by Frank.
And one last tip, stay at Villa vedici, this is a beautiful stay on the river with super sweet and nice staff members.

Flat waters and waist-high for kilometres -... read more ideal for anyone learning and loosing a board regularly. Frank is a great instructor and provides high quality kites and board for his lessons. I will be returning!

I came to Kampot to spend time with a friend who was learning kitesurfing here at Cambodia kitesurfing school.
I had never tried this sport before, and I was... read more very intimidated at first to even give it a try. But after speaking to Frank, the founder of the school and watching people even in their 60s being so passionate about the sport made me want to go for it. And I’m glad I did.
Apart from being lucky to have the most disciplined and passionate companion to learn together with (who introduced this kitesurfing to me), the main reasons that I could not only take these lessons but also really enjoy them and look forward to them had a lot to do with :
* the place, as the water being shallow (which takes away most of the fear for a beginner),
* the instructors Frank and Jonathan, who made learning so much fun that it felt like just another outdoor activity with friends,
* and of course, such a wonderful family and community vibe at Villa Vedici which made my holiday and memories very special .
Hope to see everyone again soon, thank you for the wonderful time ️

January 24, 2023Absolutely awesome experience! - Cambodia kitesurfing has the best spot to learn. Perfect shallow waters which allows for quick learning and guidance by the instructor. The excellent service, the high level of the instructors... read more and brand new equipment (lots of new kites and lessons with headset communication) provided for a perfect environment to learn and enhance my kitesurfing skills! Together with the social aspect of Cambodia kitesurfing (the instructors are very nice and funny) and Villa Vedici (as their base), this was a very nice part of my trip!
January 22, 2023Best place to learn kitesurfing with a great vibe - After trying to learn kitesurfing in Cape Town and then in Goa and giving up on the sport, this beginner friendly spot made me try again and I finally got... read more riding.
Frank and his instructor are very knowledgeable. He has the newest equipment and everything is in great condition.
The spot itself is super shallow and calm water and you can walk back which is great while you're still learning. There are no rocks or reef where you can get hurt. And great wind!
The bonus was staying at villa vedici which was a home away from home. A beautiful property on the river, friendly staff and other residents.
All in all, Kampot was a find. Had never heard of it and only came there to kitesurf for a month. Ended up enjoying my time on the water and off it, left with some great memories. Thanks a ton Frank!

Amazing teacher! Nice spot. Good material.
What else do we need?!
The nice city of Kampot and a cold beer? That's possible too =)

We had our own gear and came... read more ready to kite and Frank was very supportive in assisting us to get to the kite spot. Great kite spot - it’s a motor bike/scooter ride away or by boat transfer which is a great experience just getting there. The kite spot is located on a small sand bank with shade surrounded by knee to waist-deep water for a very long way out, making it a perfect beginners spot or for the freestyle kiters looking for flat water. The villa run by Franks family is amazing - chilled easy going and fantastic food. A really good vibe! Hoping to be back again and definitely a kite-spot worth putting on the bucket list - will like to try the better of the seasons in summer.
December 29, 2022Best kite rental service ever - Great kiting experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting Kampot!

I was amazed by top quality kiting material and one service I never experienced before: riding up to me mid-session to bring me a better size kite as the wind was dropping during the session.
Also, the flat water spot is amazing and socializing with Frank and the other instructor Jonathan was good fun.
Thanks Frank!
December 21, 2022Perfect beginner kite spot - This is the perfect spot for beginners and intermediates to make massive improvements. Flat waist deep water (with plenty of space and not too many kites in the air) ... read more - you will progress here with Frank and the team much quicker than learning off a deep beach with waves. Radio helmets so helpful and I was using a brand new kite!
I’ll be back for me to crack staying upwind!
