Trying to capture the feeling of what it’s like on the surfboard – though the waves look tiny here! They look much bigger in real life – honest!
Winter winds from the north are cold, powerful winds all the way from China. they start early and finish early, but bring us 18-23kts regularly. Waves are 1-2m which isn’t big, but you won’t get much bigger in Thailand.

First try with the GoPro!
Many many thanks to James at BBR – http://www.brackleshamboardriders.co.uk/ – for very kindly giving me the GoPro. I guess he must have thought i was a great instructor when i was working for him! (little did he know…) but seriously – big thanks James, it’s very very appreciated.
So we had 18-25kts, 1-2m waves, and i was flying on my 7m. A little underpowered at times, but not half bad!
November-December is winter time in Thailand, so the North East monsoon winds kick in. We get 15-18kts pretty regular, and then some days 20-25kts. Nice!!

Stephen spent 2 weeks here and learnt to kitesurf amazingly quickly!! Probably quicker than his younger brother Andrew – or am I starting some family rivalry there? Andrew shows us many times how to jump – and splash – in this video. Keep up the splashing Andrew! That’s the beauty of watching Kitesurfing – if you see someone seeing a good trick everyone goes ‘ooooh!!!’. If you see someone crashing hard everyone still goes ‘ooooohhhh!!!’. Either way it’s a crowd pleaser!!

My little brother learns to kitesurf!
Ian came all the way from Australia to learn with us – that’s how much he wanted to learn with his big brother. It’s taken him a few tries, but now he’s up and riding well. Good job bruv!!!

The PKRA – Professional Kiteboard Riders Association came to Hua Hin for the first competition of 2010. It was a fantastic setting, great competition, and lots of fun. It’s truly amazing to see professional kiteboarders throwing tricks right in front of you.
