Windsurfing & Kitesurfing Malaysia

15 Knots Day, Pantai Sepat & Sharks

As expected, NE wind is still refusing to go away. After two days of raining since the EPIC storm, she visited us again today bringing 12-15 knots of solid wind. I had good fun sailing all by myself at a beach near my place, Pantai Sepat.

For those who don’t know Pantai Sepat, this water area is famous for SHARK fishing among the fishermen. It sounds a bit scary, but these sharks don’t usually attack human. If you don’t fall a lot, this beach may serve you good time without too much fear of getting bitten! Plus, there was not a single report about shark attacks here in Malaysia.

Wind direction relative to the beach during NE monsoon is from about 10′o clock. That gives you plenty of room to do downwind sprint without worrying too much about getting back upwind. The beach is reasonably wide, so it will be suitable for kiters from beginners to pro. For windsurfers, this can be another whole new adventure for you!

P/S: Picture is not actual footage of the sharks, they’re actually much smaller! ;)

    What does Pantai Sepat mean? I know ikan sepat is a fresh water fish used for turning into salted fish.

    “Pantai” is beach. So Pantai Sepat means the Sepat Beach ;)
