Best spots in Asia
I have the luxury of being able to go to anywhere in Asia every other month for about nine days over the next two years, so lets hear from you all your recommendations and put downs.
Been to Boracay, Philippines many times windsurfing years ago so know about their famous Bulabog beach (east coast) which once was full of pole dancers (me) and now kites. Season is November to March from memory. All flat water and lots of sea urchins beckoning at low tide, but the wind is consistent. 12 meter kite would be the average I suppose.
Kited at Nai Yang near Phuket airport, West Coast of the island, many times but really disappointed with the lack of consistency. 15- 17 metre territory- forget it.
East coast of Thailand at Hua Hin in the Gulf of Siam, similar comments. Wind unreliable and the water temp like bathwater at about 35C with everyone wearing stinger suits. Big kites.
Singapore, south coast, go as big a kite as can, forget it.
Papua New Guinea, particularly Hula southeast of Port Moresby, is epic in the trades from March to November. I windsurfed there many years ago. It would have to be 9-10 metre kites. Does anyone regularly kite there now?
Likewise Fiji, great wind back then riding my old F2 Sputnik, and also in the same trade-wind belt has good wind. Where are the go-to spots now for kites?
I am about to go to Mui Ne in Vietnam so will report back. I may come back speaking Russian.
Heard that Okinawa in Japan could be good but little info seems to be available.
Phu Quoc in Vietnam, anyone kited there?
Also, bits of Indonesia have lots of potential but want to learn more, especially where there are waves.
