Hua Hin kite boarding championship 9/10 March 2013

Post by Pagey »

Just back from an early stroll on the beach and in front of Condochain where a lot of the kite schools are was a poster advertising the above. No details of exact location but shouldn't be hard to find.

No mention of any sponsor unlike the world championships which were sponsored by Intercon and held in front of their hotel but Friday may reveal some staging being erected or other prep work some where on the beach. :cheers:

Think last year it was centered outside the Intercontinental hotel as many kite boarders stayed there. I stand corrected though.

Pretty typical Hua Hin event marketing - virtually no info! :roll:

The World Cup was quite spectacular, here are some pics from a couple of years back:

Oh sh1t, I forgot. The missus bought me a board as an advanced B'day present so I'll be competing. I'll be the one with a walking stick riveted to my board :laugh:

Yes, unusual today as it was windy early but dropped off before 3 pm when normally the wind picks up at that time and the kiters come out to play late in the afternoon.

Anyway I counted around 50 kites at its peak so I guess a successful day.
