Best Kitesurfing Lessons Hong Kong Near Me

4worldlovers: I made this title up XD.. Mainly because I have yet to visit Mauritius (but planning in the summer of 2021!). But this small but beautiful island offers a serene kind of feeling, along with the untouched nature with Caribbean-like turquoise water, is definitely one of my top picks when it comes to kitesurfing in…

When the trade winds from southern Indian Ocean prevail in summer, Sri Lanka becomes an ideal kitesurfing spot, for its butter flat lagoons surrounded with mangroves. I arrived at Colombo in June, 2019. Flights to Colombo from Hong Kong usually arrived at midnight. I hopped on a van arranged by KitesurfLanka to spend the next…

The World’s Most Beautiful Lagoon? I didn’t make this up – according to Telegraph: On April 11 1789, His Majesty’s ship Bounty came across a supremely beautiful triangle of white sands and coconut palms lost in the vast blue counterpane of the South Pacific. Its commander, Lt William Bligh, was the first European to set…

It was my first time doing this island hopping kitesurfing trip in the Southern Pacific islands. Given that I was carrying my gears, I decided to limit my destination to the major islands and leave the more exotic ones for my next adventure. I arrived at Tahiti at night, after a 3-hr flight from Rarontonga,…

Brazil has this awesome northern coastal line with fantastic waves, consistent full-on blowing wind, that a downwind trip along it would definitely be on the bucket list for any kitesurfer. How to do this? Some people would DIY, where they hire local drivers that would follow you with a 4WD along the whole trip. I…

I’ve read so many magazine articles, blogs, about the X (number) of kitesurfing destinations that should be on any kitesurfer’s bucket-list. Dakhla is definitely one of the names that pops up most of the times. After spending 10 amazing days in Dakhla this June, I have to admit that this is such a perfect place…

In late September, International Kiteboarding Association (IKA) hosted its 3rd round of 2016 Kiteboarding Championships at Pingtan, Fujian Province, China. I, as an avid kiteboarder, had the chance to compete with some of the best riders in the world. There were a total of 105 riders from 25 countries took part in the championships. Pingtan county is…

I meant to add this blog since I got back from this amazing spot earlier in March but then procrastination got into the way… Sits only 1.25-hour drive to the south of Nha Trang, Vietnam, Phan Rang is much of an undeveloped and unexplored city, but with beautiful coastlines. Wikipedia introduces the city’s history as…

After coming back from a week-long kitesurfing trip to Hua Hin in late March, I had been craving for more kitesurf getaways since the weather in Hong Kong had been miserably humid and rainy. Until some experienced kitesurfers told me that it is Boao’s windy season now so that I checked it up on windguru: Boao, or Bo’ao, is best known…

Pui O Beach, Hong Kong: Kitesurfer’s Go-to Place in Summer

Kitesurfing during the hot summer season under southwesterly wind in Hong Kong has really limited options. It has to be either Lung Kwu Tan, or Pui O Beach. While Lung Kwu Tan might be too far for many city residents, Pui O is a good alternative given its much cleaner and longer beach, friendly facilities,…

Shui Hau Wan, Hong Kong: A Beach HK Kitesurfers Can’t Live Without

Shui Hau Wan, or Shui Hau Beach, is a beach almost exclusively for the city’s kitesurfers to gather when east wind prevails every year from October to February. The beach is fun sized: its widest measurement is shy of 1 kilometer. However, you’ll be amazed to see how many kites this small beach can fit. Because of its flat water…

Every summer, when easterly recedes and southwesterly picks up, kitesurfers in Hong Kong had to retreat from Shui Hau Wan but they are left with very limited options: fun-sized Pui O Beach and rubbish-covered Lung Kwu Tan. Added with underwhelming wind condition that seldom goes above 15 knots, taking a short getaway to one of multitude of beaches along the southeastern…
