The “Kalim Patong Surfing Contest 2025” takes place over the weekend of Sept 19-21 at Kalim Beach just north of Patong and will offer over B100,000 in prize money.
The competition is being organised by Patong Municipality in collaboration with the Kalim Reef Surfer Surfing Club, the Patong Surf Club, the Phuket Surfing Club and the Surfing Baan Kalim Community.
Organisers explained that competition will be split into male and female age specific categories across both shortboard and longboard formats, namely:
- Men’s open age shortboard
- Men’s shortboard over 35 years of age
- Boys shortboard under 12 years of age
- Boys shortboard over 16 years of age
- Girls shortboard under 16 years of age
- Men’s longboard open age
- Women’s longboard open age
Cash prizes and trophies will be up for grabs for the top three finsihers in each category and the competition will take place daily between 7am and 4:30pm.
A stand has been built for spectators at Kalim Beach to enable fans of the sport to enjoy the action, which promises to be very entertaining given anticipated heavy weather which has created significant swells and waves suitable for good competition.
Registration is open until Sept 15 and more information can be found at www.kalimreefsurfers.com.
