Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for adrenaline junkies, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.

We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.

We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines.

To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.

Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are definitely a complete test of the latest GoPro Hero 7 Black, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, and this massive overview of the best surf camps in Bali.

We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, you can follow us either on Facebook, any of our social accounts below, or subscribe to our newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page (or when exiting the site).

Thursday’s stoke meter 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🌊🌊🌊 brought to you by Mister Yoda of Thailand ⚡️🌪 Gathered together for the brand new Asian Hydrofoil Championships put on by the KTA @kta_media a beach fully of antsy kitesurfers waited for the wind to wash over the shores of Johor. But waiting around doesn’t always have to be part of the game — not if you ask someone like Yo @yoda_kiteschool who decided to shake off his anticipation by taking to the waves.The beach break at @desarucoastmalaysia is fast and steep — a salty slab of unadulterated force roaring in from the South China Sea. It’s a relatively new spot to join the line up of surf/kite destinations in Asia, but judging from the success of the event they just held, this isn’t the last we’ll be seeing from Desaru Beach. . . . . . . . . @quiksilverthailand @quiksilver #extremenomads #surfstoke #surfdestination #surftravel #watersports #boardsports #actionsportsphotography #surfinglife #surf_shots #surfculture #hangloose #visitmalaysia #surferworld #surfline #surftime #adventurenthusiasts #thaitraveller #saltwatertherapy #saltwaterlife #kitesurfingdestinations #surfingmalaysia

 ✨ sunrise SUP sessions ✨One of the things we loved about living in Pranburi was that you could easily find THAT kinda scenery that Thailand is famous for right on our doorstep. And without the crowds. In fact.... very often it was without anyone at all. Sam Roi Yot National Park was one of those places; so often we’d find ourselves on a beautiful, palm lined beach with soft sand and lovely clear water, and we’d be the only ones around—bar a few fishermen.If you’ve thought about visiting Thailand but been turned off because you think it’s saturated with tourists and “over done”, just know that’s only the case in a select few places. A lot of the lesser known countryside is crowd free, untouristy, and vastly unexplored by foreign visitors. More on Sam Roi Yot, Pranburi, and the surrounding areas in the in-depth guides on our blog. 💙🌊🌈 For those of you that have been to Thailand, what were your experiences like?

 My face after a session be like 😁Kitesurfing is everything every kiter has ever told you—it’s freeing, like flying, it’s meditative and far reaching and life changing. What this picture doesn’t tell you though, is that I have a huge amount of anxiety wrapped up in it. While other kiters are pushing themselves to pass the bar, jump higher, or nail their dark slide, my biggest struggle is just getting myself out on the water each time. Feels pretty lame for someone whose profile says they’re an adventurous adrenaline seeker.Those close to me know that I lost someone special to the water, someone who was a huge part of my life—my partner, teacher, and kite buddy—a few years ago. A loss that shook the earth we stood on. One we feel every day even now and probably always will. That certainly stirred the anxiety I felt simmering below the surface, but if I’m honest with myself it’s not the whole reason that I struggle to see eye to eye with the sport I love most. It goes way back, back to when I was a kid and wasn’t allowed to ride a bike because the road was too dangerous. When I wasn’t supposed to jump on my friend’s trampoline in case I fell off and hurt myself. When I couldn’t go kayaking in case I capsized and drowned. Though well intentioned, a fear was instilled in me from a young age that told me that I couldn’t trust myself in the face of the elements. And even though I moved through that and learned how to kitesurf, that amygdala still goes into overdrive every time I hit the beachSometimes it’s overpowering—the voice in my mind that tells me I can’t. Sometimes it’s way too loud. Sometimes the wind is too loud. Sometimes everything is just. Too. Loud. So I’m learning to accept. To wait and to trust that there will be quieter days. Days when I’m tough enough to give a big 🖕🏽 to the part of myself that tells me I can’t & gentle enough with the rest of me who needs to hear I can. ✨ and if i ever have a daughter of my own, I’ll make sure she knows she’s a badass firecracker warrior child who can do ANYTHING 💪🏽 SHE 💪🏽 WANTS 💪🏽 . #extremenomads #kitesurfingworld #kitesista #kitegirl
