Résumé

Nous sommes situés à côté de l'autoroute #86 dans la ville de Tainan au sud de Taiwan ; la plage est large et sablonneuse et la circulation est pratique pour relier le centre-ville et la zone de plage. Nous sommes le premier club de kitesurf à Taïwan depuis 2004 avec plus de 30 membres actifs ; 8 d'entre nous ont invité l'examinateur Xavier Roussos à Taïwan et nous avons tous passé le niveau 1 d'instructeur IKO en 2011, et 2 d'entre nous enseignent le kitesurf depuis plus de 10 ans. Nous avons collaboré avec le gouvernement de la ville de Tainan ces dernières années et avons décidé de créer une école IKO pour mieux promouvoir les activités de plage et l'entraînement à la course olympique de kite-foiling. Nous proposons des cours de kitesurf et la location de matériel, nous proposerons des cours de kitesurf et de wind foiling à l'avenir. L'instructeur Kyle (moi) parle anglais et chinois, j'enseigne principalement à des étudiants anglophones du monde entier depuis 2011.

Meilleure saison

The weather here is mostly worm and sunny. I would say the best season is from September ~ March or April. The wind is stronger in the winter and lighter in summer. The wind in summer is 6~15knots. The temperature in summertime is hot, usually 30~37 Celsius. During summer time we have some typhoons here but not much, sometimes one day before the typhoon the wind is very good. Summer time is also our raining season but the raining season is short and the raining day is the only the day we don’t go the beach. In summer time we often do kite-foiling and wind-foiling with foil kites. Autumn the north-wind start coming and the wind is getting stronger in autumn and winter. The wind is 10~20 knots sometimes above 20~25 knots in the winter. The temperature in Autumn is still very worm and no wetsuit needed. The temperature in winter is around 15~25 Celsius and 5~15 Celsius when cold front comes. We need 3mm wetsuit in the winter, 5mm is uncommon and boots and gloves is not necessary. Generally, we can do kitesurfing nearly every day.
