The first Kiteboarding Tour Asia is starting this year, in China on 29 October. before heading to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand.
Good excuse for a road trip. The boys are heading up to see the comp.
Mike Wong & I have entered the "Course Racing" competition so it should be a good experiance.

If all goes well I might enter for the Hong Kong race also.

Photos to come.......

UPDATE.
Got back from Xaimen Last night. It was lots of fun, but not a lot of wind (Except on the last day when it decided to blow 25-35Kts)

Mike and I both completed our races neither of us got a place but it was worth the experiance (Mike entered the chinese race, and I had to race the overseas profesionals as i'm not chinese).
