About Us
My name is Max Yoon, after living in Australia for a year I became hooked on surfing. Back in Korea I started taking kitesurfing lessons and of course became addicted to the sports. Not long after that I met my Dutch wife and made the big decision to quit my corporate life in Seoul. To follow my dream to share my passion for water sports with others. So we moved to the most beautiful island of Korea, Jeju. With its shallow beaches it is a perfect place for all types of water fun.
We started out as a small club teaching kitesurfing, from an old but trusty van. And slowly but steadily worked on our dream to introduce more water sports to the island. We do kitesurfing, wing foiling, SUP, surf, jetsurf and efoiling. Now we no longer travel just by van but recently opened up our shop and guesthouse on Sinyang beach, (our favorite beach).
When i’m not on the water I enjoy to make photos and videos of everyone enjoying the waves. Together with my wife (who is also an artist) we run everything by ourselves. So there is always something to do, but we truly love the island life and would love to share it with you too
Join us on the water and let’s make some memories together!
Sincerely,
Max Yoon

FAQ
where should I book my stay in Jeju to be close to the kitesurf and wing foil spots?
Most of the best windy spots are located on the east side of the island. We also run a guest house right at Sinyang Beach. The hotspot for all kinds of watersport adventures.
What is the best time to come to Jeju island?
During spring and fall you will have the highest chance for good windy days. The summer usually has lighter wind which is perfect for foiling. But don’t worry, Jeju island is known for its beauty, so even when there is no wind it will be worth to explore the island.
can I pay with card?
In Jeju and Vietnam you can either pay with cash or card. For card transactions we have to charge an extra 10%.
In Seoul we only accept cash or bank transfers for now.
How is the transportation in Jeju
We highly recommend renting a car in Jeju. There is public transportation but it can take a long time to reach some of the more secluded beaches.
If you’re staying at Seongsan, we can pick you up and drive together to the spots.
can I also rent a wetsuit?
Yes, we have wetsuits available. Let us know your size before you come so we can check if we have your size in our location.
Can I also buy gear instead of renting?
Of course! We have a dealership with Reedin, North, F-one, Slingshot, Duotone and Armstrong. We also can order Mystic and O’neil wetsuits. And we always have secondhand gear available for purchase.
are the beaches in Jeju beginner friendly?
Yes! Most beaches we travel to are shallow or lagoons which is perfect for beginners and for people to look to upgrade their skills.
