Since 4 days we have been in Phuket now. Yesterday was the kings birthday and the kings cup inaugurated in 1987 to celebrate the 60th birthday of his Majesty . Since then it developed to the biggest sailing event in Asia. We were pretty excited to hear that we gonna race together with yachts. We arrived and are still impressed by the Centara Grand Beach Resort in Karon Beach, with its amazing room setups, huge pool with a river on which you can tube through the whole hotel, the gym used by all of us, cause not so much wind and the poshest kitestorage we ever had- the ballroom. As long we are waiting for wind, we keep ourselves busy with fitness, shopping, islanddiscoveries by motorbike and go karting.
The sailors are very excited and can't wait to see us on the water- unfortunately we have been a bit unlucky with the wind so far and had an attempt yesterday and today. But today 16 of us needed a rescue as the offshore wind died when all of us were out in the sea. So we are hoping for the next few days as the wind doesnt look too bad.
Belayed Happy birthday to the King- it was an amazing dinner last night and an amazing event with the sailors from all over the world and very forward looking to combine kiteboarding with sailing regattas!
