HQ kite trip Thailand


During the month of June I traveled to Thailand with my wife for the month. It just so happens that her parents live in Hua Hin, which is a kitesurfing mecca of that region. I was able to put my new HQ kites to the low wind test and I had an incredible time.

for the atb pictures here is a link to my blog. thanks for looking!

haha kober I wish there wouldve been someone else to ride with while i was there.

Martin, I'll be at the wwbb in the fall. I couldn't make it in the spring because all of my money was going toward the thailand trip. Like doublespeed360 said, you've gotta try the montana and matrixx to believe them. the low end is wicked awesome.

Kami, I had several ladies try and get me to visit their brothels....and i'm quite sure a few of them were ladyboys. when you head to hua hin in August its worth the 15 minute drive to Cha am. That beach sticks out a little bit so you tend to get a better on shore/ side shore winds versus hua hin

Thanson, dude I almost landed on one of the younger monks when I jumped over him. My wife told me that it wouldve brought me bad karma for a long time. Maybe he was thinking aoxomoxoa when I missed him lol

haha. I would have liked to see that moment on film. We probably would have learned a swear word in their native tongue.:singing:
