About this spot
Oxbold, the kite school listed for Malaysia, teaches beginners in Kudat at the northern tip of Borneo. It offers two-hour lessons and five-day beginner packages with equipment, meals and resort accommodation, plus kite rental.
The school's other location, Balok Beach near Kuantan, is marked temporarily closed — Kudat is the place to go.
The school doesn't publish the exact beach, season or wind directions. The season and sector shown assume the north-east monsoon and need confirming before you book.
