Because things are just gonna get better & better.*

As reported two days ago, the wind pattern is showing consistent growth in strength both on the charts and real time. Those who missed it this week therefore have no reason at all to sit in front of your fan with the knob yanked to maximum just to get the feel of how it might look like in Balok today. continue reading...

It all started around 1pm when the sea looks dead calm, with a few spots of white caps in a far distance. Being the usual loyal & positive-minded that I was, I sat around with another windsurf newbie waiting for a little more wind for the 8.4m rig. About half an hour later, the wind started to pick up quickly. With no traces of storms in range whatsoever, this is a good sign for pure sea breeze coming our way from the SW. When the white caps turned into dozens of wave breaks, and the trees start whistling & dancing beautifully, it’s time to hit the water. continue reading...

With the Monsoon Cup held successfully on its 4th year of the annual regatta, Malaysia has proven once again that it is worthy of one sailing nation. Sponsorships seems to be in abundant, and the crowd multiplies each year. It is no doubt that Malaysia is the on right track into becoming one of the world’s favorite spot for sailing events.
This success, although unfortunately without medal winnings, had to do in some ways with the success of the less serious division of dinghy sailing namely the Optimist, Laser, 420, 470 etc. Malaysia has some of the best sailors in the world for dinghy sailing, and it has been proven time and time again. The sensational triumphant of this division has been the pushing power to bring more serious sailing competitions like Monsoon Cup into Malaysia. In a few years, it will not be a surprise if such breed like Dato’ Peter Gilmor will be born in Malaysia. continue reading...

After much tweaking and css-ing, I’m excited to announce that Boardsapiens forum is now up and running. The forum’s objective is simple, to gather all board riders especially in Malaysia to share the passion, stories, experiences and every little bits and bites in one neat platform. My greatest hope is to see this forum to be utilised to its full potential and hopefully helps to grow more members into the sports that we love – board riding!
So get busy, and start inviting your friends, cousins, relatives, dad, mom and everyone you know to this forum! 
GO TO THE FORUM NOW!
p/s: Anyone interested to be moderators are also gratefully invited, obviously I don’t have all the time in the world to manage a forum all by myself! Every little help is highly appreciated.

With June waiting around the corner, we are now already two months past the monsoon season since it ended in the late of March. April and May have two things in common ; 1- Baking hot weather, 2- Wet afternoon till morning. April saw almost 3 windless weeks, totally flat water which is only good for everything except windsurfing or kitesurfing.
Next few weeks were better, but with nothing extravagant to be too proud of either. With an 8.4m sail and a 155l board, I occasionally get to plane on at least 2-3 days of the week. Sometimes I get to use my 7.4m and the 111l iSonic but feeling underpowered with winds barely 15 knots max is not really that fun.
Nice thing to mention is that some days when it’s really low tide, the waves can quite chunky providing nice ramps for jumping and surfing on the way back. Be warned though, as it can be quite a pain to waterstart in those breaks as the wind is not really that strong! continue reading...
