Competitors from eight countries took to the ocean for the Thailand Windsurfing Championships at Jomtien Beach last weekend.
Teens and adults from Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Thailand battled it out May 10-12 in eight divisions, including Techno 293 for under-17 boys and girls.
Capt. Weerayuth Dissayasrin, president of the Royal Aeronautic Sports Association Of Thailand, presided over the opening ceremonies for the event, which was part of the month-long Air, Sea, Land Games.
Sailors compete at the 2013 Thailand Windsurfing Championships held at Jomtien Beach, Pattaya.
Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome said the competition was made possible through a 5 million baht donation from Government Lottery Office (GLO). It also was a key opportunity for windsurfers to tune up their skills before the 27th Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar in December.
