Pranburi, Hua Hins latest and greatest Kite Spot
WOW! what a day yesterday, built up and held around 22kts yesterday mid afternoon, the waves were up also and coming in sweet for carving off the lip, small but fun!
Lets hope today is the same, its 11:30 am now and the wind is already here at a steady 15 knots
bring it on!
thanks to Richard Roberts again and his excellent photography skills we all got a chance to show off our best moves in front of the camera. Rich picked a medium tide level to courageously wade out to the sand bar with his camera (no waterproof housing used) and got some great shots of the riders.
I have picked a couple of the best from each rider, also some spectacular wipeouts……enjoy!
