Endless Summer: Asia Edition 2012






Today is my last day here in Thailand.
I am off to HK for a couple of hours to meet with DK of Cabrinha and my Good friend Louise from HK/Sweden.

I had such a great and chill two weeks here. With the KTA wrapping up there are only less than 15 kiters in the whole beach. its awesome conditions except for the fact that there is no wind this past few days enough for my small kite.

This last 3 days has been hectic, we figured out that we havent been productive in filming; due to the lack of wind. so we just did the tourist route and did a lot of Cable. Made me progress in my passes again which is siiiick! i just had to get over that initial first handlepass after the big shoulder injury. wohooo! so stooooked about it.

I also got to reflect a lot on my own here in pak nam pran and also since i wake up so early (1 hour time difference makes a lot of sense here.) do some yoga.


I got to spend a lot of time with other people here living like neighbors in a summer house. joy rides, breakfast by the beach and other random things! Its nice to be around people that are truly nice and creative and also supports you in whatever you do. Its such a nice break from being around people who just always bring you down and have issues with people who lives with a lot of luck


PS: Chivalry lives.


    • Then am off the the USA!
      SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA! to be exact. and am really really excited!

Living local

Its so nice to be one with the locals when you travel. Eat where eat, live like them, learn a few new words in the local language plus many more. We went to the cable again and i just cleared the full transferbox so am really stoked about that. Here are some snaps of our fun days in the streets of Pranburi

Luck, positive thinking, love and good karma

Am i not lucky!? I just bagged 2nd in the KTA asian tour 2012 womens freestyle! So awesome! And i just scored a brand spanking deal with some new brands too so its been a really awesome month! I thought i am not really gonna make it out here to thailand because my finances have been dwindling down but i just got to stay positive and believe its gonna happen and it did <3 i am now staying in Pak Nam Pran and i fell in love with the place in a different way this time, went here last year and it was a different vibe too. This year there is a new rixen cablepark just near pranburi which is around 45mins to the kite spot. So its a perfect place to go to enjoy some decent rails when the wind is not blowing! Did i mention that the kite spot is amazingly beautiful with a flat lagoon when its low tide and perfect set of kickers when the tide is up! I cant really say anything less than a <3 so ill be here for the rest of the month then quick stop in HK at the Cabrinha HQ and then Bay area baby!!! Whooop whooop! I am having a blast but i really miss some friends too!

Caveman and Pacman+Sarah, This post is for you! Miss you guys!

PKRA Thailand X Thai Wake Park X Bangkok : Thailand Love You Long Time




The Thailand Trip was insane!


Bruno Sroka who was also with us for the KTA in Boracay. We all came in on the same flight and got a nice deal for a huge van with a Teli heading to Hua Hin


not to mention my two hot kite mommas Normeth and Nenette of Hangin Kite Center who followed the day after...

-----
We got to Hua Hin really late so we had to drag our quivers to the comp area then look for our house which felt like forever since we we're traveling the entire day.

The wind in Hua Hin at that time was erratic, it's either hot and windless or windy and freezing with rain, so we kinda spent most of the PKRA days in the InterCon hotel poolside (chillin' like a millionaire. lol ) when the boys got knocked out from the double elims.


Kiting in Hua Hin is kinda tricky as the waves get big in the shore but it's fun to use them as kickers when you get a hang of it. Kite relaunching was death in the making
o well, i get kudos for experience.

Two Weeks of pure fun and realizations and just some random quirky stuff

---

in the PKRA Thailand it was nice to meet the girls in the kite hood.
---
Thai food is amazinggggg but always say NO SPICY because it will still be spicy in the end
---
Fried insects doesn't really taste different from crispy chicken skin but with matching little legs that kinda get stuck on your throat when you don't chew on them properly
---
SamSam Bar in Hua Hin can be fun when your with the right people.
---
Partying in Bangkok is expensive.
---
Hotel Room AfterParties are always funny.
---
Bangkok is a GREAT city; such a visual overload
---
A PingPong Show is really disgusting, we were so horrified and regret seeing it. but hey.
---
Anton and Mikey formed a band in Hua Hin Reggae Bar. and i was the first groupie!
It is a quaint little bar at the end of Hua Hin beach with really cool locals.
-Safety First-
---
The obstacles at the Thai Wake Park are super smooth so i got to progress in my rail riding style a lot.
---
Our HouseLady in the hostel is named MEOW and she cannot speak english
---
Getting Lost with a great group is entertaining. especially if you don't have any Bhat money left to go home. hehe
-----

You'll probably find half of the pictures in this blogpost bizarre as most of these are related to our trip experience and inside jokes about it.

but here is a nice funbox sequence that Anton shot and edited for me.




Love You Long Time Thailand

The Art Called Bangkok







BangKok is such a visual overload that i decided to do an entire post about it's visual audacity.
My eyes went numb

I LOVE it so much!
Gives one such an inspiration to go on and be happy x quirky with life even if your in a crowded city full of shopping malls and concrete buildings.

i thought singapore street art and architecture was amazing but Bangkok is the Shizznit!

++ we were oh so lucky that we turned somewhere in the right way from a local metro station to take photos and ended up in the BangKok Art Museum.

++The watches here are insane. i got one for 100bhat but it broke after a day :(
++We also bumped into an OBEY concept store with a sick as artwork as usual (stolen photo)
++my point and shoot cam also lost batt during the middle of the day, well that kinda sucked.


BOOM!
it was really amazing. seriously
