After finishing my first year as a full time teacher I had a paid three months off of work..... yeah being a teacher has its perks! My wife Joy and I decided to take a holiday to Thailand for the month of June.  It just so happens that Joy's parents live in Hua Hin, which is one of the kiteboarding Meccas of Thailand. 

 

The winds were low for most of the month, but I was able to make it work.  It took me four beaches to find one that had sand that was solid enough to ride on.  On one of my sessions a group of monks walked up to observe what was going on.  I freestyled over one of them and almost crashed into him.  My wife told me I wouldve had bad karma for life if I would've slammed into him. 

 

The wind dissappeared for awhile so we visited a vinyard and I traded in my trampa for an elephant.  It was awesome! We spent a week in Bangkok and that city makes Paris, London, and New York look tiny.  It was great being able to see so many new places. 

 

Other than that I have been teaching lessons every few weeks.  I drove 300 miles to teach lessons three weeks ago.  Also, I'm gathering the fourth mid west america kite jam at the end of November.  Its the first middle America landkite event.  Since I am hosting it i'll get you plenty of pictures from this years event.  Also, it looks like more trampa boards are being sold in the US.  I've started seeing more and more at each event I go to.
