Overview

Ttukseom-Hangang is a kitesurfing spot on the Han River in central Seoul, near the Ttukseom area. This unique urban river spot allows kitesurfers to ride in the heart of South Korea's capital city. The wide river section catches W and NW winds funneled through the urban canyon.

As a freshwater river spot, there are no tidal concerns. The flat water conditions are excellent for freestyle and freeride. However, space can be limited and river currents must be considered. This is one of Asia's most unique kite spots, riding with Seoul's skyline as backdrop. Suitable for intermediate riders familiar with river conditions.
