I'm working in Thailand at the moment and went for a paddle. This place is a very popular windsurf location and many of the Starboard, Cobra employees that paddle, sail and kite leave their gear here in the shelters. It's a great set up, but wow it's so hot paddling in the middle of the day.
There was a bit of wind and probably too much for me to try windsurfing so I found an old prototype race board left in the sun on an old boat. I paddled up wind as far as I could be bothered before I melted in the sun and done a few downwind laps with a break under a cold hose and a drink after each lap. The pics do how fun it was no justice as the glides were so linkable and you could go for well over 100 meters on each run. The water is a little silty as it's fairly shallow and the wind stirs it up.
