high hopes for Boracay
I think to work in the goverment is a good job in this country, specially Boracay, as you will defnitly not run out of bribe money as long as you alow the rich to build whatever they want. SAD SAD

7Stones KTA Boracay
it has only been a short break in between the Thailand and Philippines event, but we got it all sorted out and pulled another great event.
Boracay showed it's best side to the competitors and we were blessed wt endless winds and sunshine again.
So this was actually our last tour stop of this season, as we just got the news from Korea that the event is cancelled due to the political situation. So, no Korean kimchii for me this year.
The Boracay event wouldn't been possible without the great support from 7Stones Boracay, as the main event sponsor and organizer of the event, special thx to Dani and his crew. FANTASTIK job
I will not give a detailed report of the event, as Neil done that already on our website. Check it out here
www.kiteboardtour.asia
As u can see in the results my girlfriend Rebecka got the first place in TT-Race, wohooooo i'm proud of you!!
Frenchie pulled out another great KTA video to be watch here
http://vimeo.com/20915398
So whaz my plans now... i think i will do some trips around the Philippines probably Palawan and the far north end of the Philippines, Kingfisher for some more kiting.
My plans for the summer are not really worth the ink yet, as it is all written up in the stars. Might be some trips to Middle East, Asia and probably some judging on the KTE, which will have tour stops in France, Spain, Germany, Holland and Poland this summer. Maybe i will also get a job for a few months and work a little bit in Switzerland and enjoy family and friends there for a while.
Life is a beach and tomorrow is another day... so i will keep movin on and around the world for a little longer.
We also got a few new KTA projects and i might get busier around Asia.
So i will keep u updated once it's fixed.
thx to the KTA Team for a great season (-:

Thailand and friends
My journey around Asia continued back to Thailand. It's still one of my favourite places in this world, specially because of the food, the mix of flavour in such a great way and everything just cooked to perfection.
We had a blast with the KTA, as this tourstop in Pranburi was one of our best ones, surprisingly we had wind every day and managed to do 10races and a full double elimination freestyle. As a special bonus in this round we were running a Old Skool competition, with great success. Toby came all the way from Germany to join us here and he put out a big show for the crowds and competitors. It's not all about as low and fast as possible, specially for the crowd, mostly they get lost during the normal freestyle competition, as they have no clue what the riders are doing out there, but when mr. crowd pleaser Toby goes out, they can actually see what he's doin.
Another great add to the KTA Thailand stop was Alberto Rondina, he was on his way back from Haiwaii and joind out tour again. This time to give us a Freestyle clinic and some usefull tips for the rider on how to improve their tricks.
The last day of the event was topped wt a home made fullmoon party... pictures speak more than words...
So after a very nice competition i made my way back up to Bangkok to meet up wt some good old friends. Cindy and Andrew let me stay in their appartement again, they have the best housemate!! She cooks great food wt passion, i got lucky enough to try her newest creation, Laarb dumplings... soo yummie. So i like to thank them again for the hospitality.
Bangkok was also the perfect joice to buy all the b-day presents for my family in Switzerland, i hope they will enjoy it ones it all arrives.
On my way back i felt the stupidnes of the Philippino Airport and travel tax system again. It is one of the last places on this planet where u still have to pay airport tax, instead of just including it into ticketprices.
The best invention lately is the tax u supposed to pay if u wanna get a totally overpriced Trycicle from Caticlan Airport to the Jettyport, the ride cost u 50PHP plus 25PHP tax...for what??
Can i now setup a trycicle stall in front of our kiteresort and start to collect tax?
If you walk up to the mainroad (100m) u can get the same ride for 6PHP... that's about 12% of 50PHP or 88% cheaper, plus there is no tax for nothing. I know that 69PHP is not much for a tourist but it is still a rip off and not a nice way to treat the poeple that bring all the money to the island.
so long and thx for all the fish... (-:
