Korea, Kite, Cold, Kimchee

Welcome to Korea

what can i say about Korea... first of all, nothing because i don't understand a single word and i can't read the signs, all i can say is kimchee... and that is one of the best dishes u can get in Korea, it comes with every meal..

So after my journey from Boracay 35°C to Busan 5°C i was lost at the airport. The pickup didn't work outand i had no contact nr, but lucky i had the Hotel adress... which is actually a Motel... that's the ones with dildos and porn movies in the corrido ((-: but hey it's clean and close to the Kitebeach.

So my first taxi driver had no clue where i wanted to go, even if i showed him the adress of my Motel, so he drove me around for half an hour till i told em to stopp and changed the taxi. The next taxi told me that i'm in comletly the wrong place, so i drove another half hour wt this taxi till i finally arrived. Was a bit strange to check into the Motel, but i was tired and fell asleep very quick.

So next morning first thing was get some food, which can be a very funny part if all menu cards are written in Korean, but lucky as i am there were 3pictures on the wall, so i just pointet out one of them and got lucky wt a noodle soupe and kimchee... So next step was to find an internet connection to tell Mr. Kim that i arrived last night and he missed to pick me up, so by midday he found me in the hotel.

I made a visit to the kitebeach, which is pretty large and shallow. perfect for freestyle - don't bring a race board, it' not deep enough (-: My first contact wt the water was shooockinggg cold... it's maybe 10-15°C so i will only judge this competition but for sure not touching the water.
So a the day passed by the we went for another Korean dinner wt at least 15 dishes on the table and to digest all of that healty food we went for some screen golf. It's a very funny way of playing indoor golf, the big difference is that u hit the ball towards a screen and not the open field.
After a short visit to a bar it was already bedtime, oh by the way.. i got a round bed...

So this morning also Yo arrived here, in shorts... first thing Korean breakfast.. kimchee and lot's of other stuff.. yummmie
and the story will continue hopefully wt some wind and a successful event.
pics will follow soon

KTA final and Korea

Thailand was another big event to go throu but we made it all the way, with some minor compications... little mosoon storm on the second day.

check out the lastest reports here
The lastest viedo teaser is on the upload status and the full video should be up within the next week... or two (-:

Now that this season is finished we're already lookin into the next one, and for that reason i will travel to Korea end of the month, to Busan or Pusan to judge a local competition wt some invitational international kiters. I will also check out the location for a possible tourstop next season.
Hopefully after that we can also attend the kitejambouree in El Gouna, Egypt and then head home to see some extended family.

happy easter everyone

KTA Boracay

We had another great kite event in Boracay. The wind was playing with us for the whole event, but we managed to get it all done. 3 races and a full freestyle double elimination. Not to forget the great party venues and dinners each night.

Boracay is about to get empty slowly, all the kiteboarding instructors are about to leave the island and heading back to europe for the summer season to start over there.
We got one more event in Thailand to go... our final tour stop, with the anouncement of the KTA tour winner in freestyle and race.

Check out our KTA page to stay tuned!!

I will be in Thailand from the 16th of March to the 5th of April. I'm really looking forward to some great thai food and i heard songkran is also these days... ohohhhhhh
The food here Boracay is still far from exciting, so i'm cooking my own dinners most of the nights.
How can it be so close to all those countrys like china, vietnam, thailand which are among the best food experieces, and the Philippines in the middle of it just don't have it.


so long and have fun in the snow...
wont be back before May June... (-: Read Full...
