Kerstin and myself went for a 7 day long trip to Malaysia, which was a great one indeed. We could catch wind and some waves, met a lot of nice people. George, a friend of us, who lives part of the year on the eastcoast of the country southeast Asia, borrowed us his nice white Pajero jeep. We drove up and down the eastcoast and could sail on some spots not many windsurfers sailed before. Now we are back in Bangkok and already took part in a SUP session, paddling down the Chao Praya river while midnight and ended up in the ultimate skybar of the Hilton hotel drinking a Mai Tai. What a mission. Close to bridge my board got some counter-current and I felt down my SUP into the river.
In the moment the wind is a bit down and our trip to Vietnam will start later than planned. Right now we will stay in BKK and perhaps will go on a boattrip. Guess we will fly to Vietnam by the end of the week to get some testing done there.
Keep you updated,
Chris

George Warren’s place is within walking distance to us. Next time you coming over to Malaysia here’s the place to go. http://balokwindjunkies.blogspot.com/
That’s where most of the Malaysian windsurfers usually go
