Paddlesurfing Khao Lak

One of the great advantages of a paddleboard is it gives you range. The paddle out to the spot from Khao Lak beach is a 10km round trip, not a huge distance but long enough to require a little planning and the carrying of food and water. Not everyones cup of tea but James was well up for the challenge.


The reef at low tide looking much like a lunar landscape.


A series of fast lefts and a couple of peaks break along the edge of the reef coming straight out of deep water with more size and power than other breaks in the area. Through the clear waters huge rocks and coral heads can be seen lurking just beneath the surface.
