Windsurfing & Kitesurfing Malaysia

A Sesh With KL Windsurfers

a-sesh-klI was in Kuala Lumpur last weekend  with my friends and after a last-minute arrangement with Joe from windsurfingkl.com we managed to visit our KL windsurfers in Pantai Remis. We met Joe in Damansara and from there he guided us all the way to Pantai Remis. The journey took about 40-45 minutes, which for someone like me whom blessed with the beach barely 5 minutes from the house, is quite heck of a ride for a windsurfing trip. All hail to pure magnifique passion for windsurfing!

When we arrived, the wind is slowly picking up and we had a little chat before all of them went out to harness the wind. As expected for this part of Malaysia, most of the guys are using 8++ sails and wide boards. A few moments later, I quickly spotted more windsurfers arriving to the beach, marked by their blue-and-yellow rashies with Malaysian flag batch and all (almost all KL windsurfers have them!).

As it turns out, the wind lasted only over half an hour blowing around 12 knots then abruptly went to dead zero – just as I get to sail out! We ended the session then headed for some drinks and more chat afterwards. For people who only get to sail once or twice every week and not guaranteed with wind, it was quite amazing seeing that none of them are complaining too much about the condition. These are a bunch of truly amazing & dedicated windsurfers whose attitude completely potraying the true meaning of the infamous phrase “There is no such thing as a bad day at the beach”. Inspiring!

As for me, the trip was well worth it just on the basis of meeting new people and visiting new spot alone!
