Spending time in nature is an established stress reliever and what better way to do that than to kitesurf on Koh Phangan? There are no taxes, job obligations, or problems that follow you into the sea. While you’re kitesurfing, your concerns are left on the land. The belt from kitesurfing helps alleviate unnecessary pressure on the back and knees, making it an activity that is also gentle on the joints yet strength-building. If you’re one who refuses to visit the gym, kitesurfing is a perfect way to remain toned without realizing that you’ve gotten a workout. The heart, head, and legs are all engaged as you kite over the sea. Kitesurfing offers you a whole-body exercise any time you do it. Having said that, you ought to feel relaxed in the water and you still need a good standard of health. It’s not really your muscles that bear the pressure, rather the tug of the kite passes through your harness, so it’s your core that gets the workout. With the right kite, virtually everybody can kitesurf. You may see little 10-year-old kids out on the water! Girls particularly shouldn’t be put off by the preconception that you need huge biceps. This place may get a little crowded because all kite schools come here during these few weeks.Ĭontrary to common opinion, you don’t need to be super-fit to kitesurf.
