Surfing has become Phuket's hottest activity and latest tourist attraction

Strong winds and waves during the monsoon season in Phuket may turn away many visitors hoping to have a sunny, breezy holiday. It is worse for local business owners, as stormy June is the so-called low season.

But for Chanin Aiyarak, it is the happiest time of the year. And this year, he said, has been the best ever.

Last month, as the rain began to fall in Phuket, the inaugural Quiksilver Thailand Surf Series became the country's first international surfing championship.

Standing with a big smile in his surfer outfit was Mr Chanin, president of Phuket Boardriders Club, welcoming guests as well as the local and international media that attended this promising new event.

This Year’s Thailand Surf Series sponsored by Quiksilver showed the world the beauty and grace of one of Thailand’s up-coming female surfers. Placing in both the Wahine (ladies) division as well as in the Grom (kids) division was our own Annissa Tita Flynn from Phuket Thaihua School.

In an official letter from Quiksilver’s Jake Paterson (Sports and Marketing SEA), Annissa has been officially invited to compete in the “Quiksilver King of The Grom” surfing competition in Kuta Beach, Bali on July 9th through 12th.
