Hong Kong
surprisingly strong underground kiteboarding scene, that moves from
beach to beach depending on the time of year and the wind
direction. As you can see from the picture above some of the
beaches in Hong Kong might not be quite how you imagine them, not a
skyscraper or neon light show in sight.
Final competition beach info to follow as two possible at this moment
at Lantau or Cheung Chue Island, final decision this week.
WIND - WEATHER - WATER
The winds during December in Hong Kong tend to blow from a more
easterly direction off the winter monsoon, which is ideally for ???
Wind speeds average around 20kts for November, cross onshore for the
competition beach location.
The three key accommodation options to get you near to the KTA competition Cheung Sha beach on South Lantau.
Okay
if you want to be right there staying
at the beach itself you could go for the TIPI option at the Palm Beach
centre.
Yep these are the American Indian style tent things and the centre has
five of
them in total of different sizes. We have tested them out and they are
pretty
good and the centre will provide you with sleeping mats and bags
(although at
an extra charge). The small Tipi sleeps 4, then its 6 up to the one big
one
that hold 9 people. Prices start from around HK$750 per night for the 4
person
one. Also to point out though, things are at camping level, so
cold-water shower
only and no breakfasts as part of the deal. Also be aware that you will
need to
always take a taxi or bus to get to any towns or shops if you stay on
site,
although there are some restaurants a little further down Cheung Sha
beach about
10mins walk from the centre.
Mui Wo is about 10/15mins bus journey from the Palm Beach centre and will be where most riders and the KTA team will be staying. Local organisers the KHKA will be running transport for the competition days from the hotel. Mui Wo has a ferry link that can take you direct into Hong Kong, around 30mins and its about the same to get a taxi or bus back to Tung Chung for the MTR (train) links to Kowloon and Hong Kong. Mui Wo is a town so has most basic facilities, Seven 11, restraints, couple of bars and café’s etc.
Seaview Hotel
A cheaper but more basic hotel option for you in Mui Wo is the Seaview. Its around 10 mins from the ferry pier and bus terminal. Costs start from around HK$300 per night for weekdays.
