Following on from the success of the Thailand Surf Series in 2009, surf wear brand Quiksilver is set to return this year to sponsor the event in Phuket.
Due to take place between 22nd and 26th September 2010 at Kata Beach, it is expected to encourage a number of surfers from countries including Australia, Japan, Indonesia, France and Hawaii to don their wetsuits and take part in the event.
This year there will be some changes made to the event however as there will only be one single competition taking part at Kaka and there will not be a series of events taking part at other beaches.
However the event will still be sponsored by surf wear brand Quiksilver and it is expected to attract people from all over island.
Although Phuket is not as well known as a surfing destination as places such as Waikiki in Hawaii or Australia’s Gold Coast, it still attracts surfers of all abilities each year.
Beaches such as Kamala, Kalim and Karon all offer different wave and wind conditions, however, many people believe Kaka offers the best surfing conditions in Thailand. They also claim these conditions, combined with breathtaking scenery is the reason why it has been chosen as the location of this year’s competition.
President of the Surfing Thailand organistion, Chanin Aiyarak believes Phuket is an excellent location as surfers will find excellent surfing conditions.
He said: “Phuket is the only place in Thailand where you can surf when the waves are high enough and the wind is not too strong.
“We will also be happy to see Phuket’s young rookies try to overcome the waves and cherish the beautiful nature we have.”
Next year, Quiksilver is also launching a new range of clothing aimed at women aged 19 and over.
