Friday, 01 November 2,013, celebrated Giant Kite Festival "All Saints Day" in Sumpango Sacatepequez, GUATEMALA.
According
to a legend passed orally from generation to generation, says that in
the Sumpango cemetery, day of the dead, was invaded by evil spirits that
caused inconvenience to the souls resting there. Because of this
restless souls roamed the streets and homes of the people, the
disturbance is produced every year, on the day of the dead (now November
1). According to legend, the people of the time, given the situation
that prevailed every year they decided to consult the phenomenon
sorcerers, who came to resolve the curses.
Sorcerers agreed and
resolved that the form of the withdrawal of the spirits, was to make the
wind collide with pieces of paper, whose sound immediately move away
evil spirits, resting in peace with good souls in place.
KITESURFING, or kiteboarding, took off as a sport
towards the end of the 1990s. Though considered an ‘extreme sport’ due
to its speed and sheer thrill factor, kitesurfing has established itself
throughout the globe, or at least where conditions are appropriate for
being pulled through the water on a modified surfboard by a giant kite.
In short, kiteboarding is like a combination of parasailing and surfing –
an excellent hobby for the adventurous. Kitesurfing on Ko Samui, Thailand
Kitesurfing on Ko Samui, Thailand. According
to kitesurfing.com Asia offers 371 locations to choose from. Warmer
weather and less busy waters might add to the attraction of an Asian
kitesurfing holiday, especially since Asia’s top two kitesurfing
countries, Thailand and the Philippines, are located in Southeast Asia.
What
follows is a list of 5 of Asia’s best kiteboarding destinations. You’ll
notice that they are all in Southeast Asia, but Japan, South Korea and
Taiwan are also home to plenty of kitesurfing spots. Sanur, Bali
This
resort town caters mostly to European families. It’s not only famous
for kitesurfing, but hosts an international kite festival each July. It
features a kitesurfing school and a fair selection of accommodation and
eating options to suit all budgets. And when the conditions aren’t right
to go out on the water, there is the whole of the island of Bali to
explore. Kuantan, Malaysia Kuantan
is home to Balok Beach, a kitesurfing spot best surfed from December to
March, but good year-round conditions mean it’s more or less possible
any time you fancy. Kuantan is actually a fairly large city (pop.
500,000) with its own airport, so it’s not quite a rustic getaway, but
has plenty of beaches and restaurants plus several shopping malls and a
few resorts. Kitesurfing

This
resort town is popular with Thais as well as expats and foreign
tourists. Kiteboarding is popular in Hua Hin, with several schools
providing lessons and equipment rental. The kitesurfing season is best
from January to May, with winds at 14-20 knots and shallow, slightly
choppy water. Thailand’s International Kite Festival takes place in Hua
Hin from March to May. And the kitesurfing opportunities are not just
limited to Hua Hin. Chumpon a little further south and Koh Samui are
also popular with kitesurfers. Mui Ne, Vietnam
This is considered by many to be one of the best kitesurfing
destinations in Asia, if not the world. It’s also not too hard on the
pocket. Lessons start at around US$60 with discounts for beginner
packages. At 20-25 knots, wind conditions are good all year, but
generally best from November to April. The nightlife and restaurant
scene is relatively quiet, but far from dead. This UK student loved
kitesurfing and Mui Ne so much he went twice for extended stays during a
four-month sojourn in Vietnam.
Boracay, Philippines
Another
destination that is often touted as one of the best places to kitesurf
in Asia. That’s quite a claim, but who am I to argue with BBC News?
Bulabog Beach is regarded as Asia’s kiteboarding capital, with its
reef-protected lagoon providing calm waters, especially suitable for
beginners. Winds range from 12-30 knots and the high season for
kitesurfing runs from November to April. The island is lovely and since
it’s the Philippines, where English is widely spoken, language is less
of an issue than with other destinations. Boracay’s popularity has
brought mixed blessings however, with crowds and pollution putting a bit
of a dent in the “paradise factor”. However, if you’re a fan of
nightlife and like to be spoiled for choice, Boracay may be what you’re
after.
Check here for a comprehensive, if uninformative, map of
Asia’s kitesurfing spots. Though not as popular a tourist destination as
the number two country in Asia in terms of sheer number of kiteboarding
spots, the Philippines clocks up a whopping 81 locations to kitesurf,
followed by Thailand with 61 and Japan with 42.
