When Joey and I first met on Koh Phangan, it was through skimboarding. What started as a conversation and curiosity for the sport turned into something much bigger. A connection that kept pulling us back to the ocean. So it felt natural to grab our board and explore some beaches on the island. We rented a motorbike and started hopping from beach to beach. Some were perfect stretches of glassy water and smooth sand, while others taught us that not every paradise beach is made for skimboarding. But that was part of the fun, exploring together, laughing at wipeouts, and finding those amazing spots where everything was just right. Here’s our skimboarding guide to Koh Phangan, shaped by our own sandy adventures.
