After some (2 years of) light convincing, Chris decided to join us in Mui Ne to get a taste of what we love so much about Vietnam and our Kitesurfing family.
He did really great! After only 10 hours of lessons with Surfpoint, he passed the learning phase, so he and Dom could alternate equipment - Dom would bring the board up-wind and Chris would ride back down. However, that didn't last long...
Within a couple of days, Chris was able to go out on his own and earned the nickname “The Machine” because he was so dedicated to improving, that he would outlast everyone else on the water.
When not kitesurfing, we took him to all of our favourite spots for eating. Chris reinforced his title of "The Machine" by out-eating everyone several times over!
3 weeks passed super fast and it was time for us to return to London. Chris was headed back home, with a little wooden wine-keg addition for the house. We were amazed that he was actually able to fit it into his only (carry-on!) luggage… :)
We had a really fun and memorable time sharing our Mui Ne experience with him.. hopefully he had enough fun to join us again next year! ;)
