What's better than escaping your office on a sunny Saturday? The Sunlight team arrived at LCS today to enjoy a fun-filled company outing. Warming up with a kayak exploration trip, the team mates got to know each other better, and were prepared to get involved in all kinds of sports or just relax in the warm sea, before treating themselves with a sumptuous BBQ feast in the evening.

July has arrived! Looking forward to a beautiful summer!

Caca joined her friends to go midnight hiking to Lantau Peak. The group arrived at LCS early next morning, resting a bit on the beach, and enjoyed a rewarding BBQ in the afternoon. Meanwhile, June and her friends returned to LCS again for a lot of watersports and camping fun.

And good to see Ah Chiu and his mates back to the beach in summer and practiced windsurfing again, as well as a group of keen kayakers equipping themselves for their upcoming race!

Eric enjoyed some windsurfing and sailing during his visit to LCS in a sunny afternoon.

What a sunny and windy session! I love East wind!

Wind addicts as Per, Matt, Dietmar, Hau, Leo, Kenji, Jiro and "Lo Ma" all grasped the last opportunity to enjoy the North wind in May today, using their favourite 5 sq.m +/- sails again!

Two active young kids enjoyed windsurfing here at LCS. Jakob was completely new to windsurfing but his enthusiasm and performance after the two-day practice really surprised us; while Jules, the boy who likes almost all watersports, learnt windsurfing from his father, but found it even more fun when he sailed with his friends together!

It was strange - North wind in April? But anyway, we were having fun!

It was a sunny North wind day in Cheung Sha again, and the wind was blowing till whole day. Hau was out again on his 4.0m + 93L and felt the wind definitely stronger than the day before. While Brad's nickname is Bad Brad, and now Matt got his new nickname as Mad Matt, who was on his 3.7m sail in the morning, and switched to 4.5m in the afternoon. What a super dedicated windsurfer! Kenji was also out on his 4.4m in the afternoon, and he was so happy with his first successful carving jibe!

Once again it was a good north wind day in Cheung Sha, and 4.5m was the optimum size, which the wind blew constantly in the morning until noon, dropped a bit for around 2 hours, and then picked up again from around 3:00pm until dark. Hau, Brad, Matt & Kenji enjoyed much!

It's starting to get cold in December, but there was always something happening at LCS...

Hong and his friends spent two days' holiday at LCS in early December. They went to fish, BBQ, played some card games, and enjoyed a relaxing break from work.

The beach was still full of action. The Kiteboard Tour Asia was hosted at Cheung Sha, and one day we saw over 20 kites in the sky! Besides, we also had Alza coming back to learn windsurfing, and of course there were also a few good days with nice wind for us to enjoy.

Although the temperature has dropped a bit, we still found it warmer by the beach than in the city most of the time, which made here a perfect location for a family day out. We had here the Rushton family, who arranged an overnight visit for their daughter and her friends. Max and Louis were always our beach regulars and they enjoyed beach bowling so much! Brad's family came from all the way from London and enjoyed so much of the sunshine on the beach.

We also celebrated our X'mas with friends, which we arranged a cozy BBQ and some fun games for everyone to share.

Allan and his friends came to LCS today and celebrated their graduation. Not only were they prepared to go into the water, they were also ready to become a culinary master! Today they joined our pizza class, and were involved in every step from kneading the dough, to preparing and arranging the ingredients. At the end of the day, everyone could enjoy the freshly baked pizzas created by their own hands, which were exceptionally yummy!

After one whole week of non-stopping high wind, the North monsoon finally started to lessen a bit on Sunday. Today, the windsufers from Stanley came early in the morning, hoping to enjoy one more day of good windsurfing after their adrenalin-pumping session the day before. The beautiful sunshine and the perfect North wind shone the day!

P.S. Check out our new extended campground - Windsurfers now found it a lot more comfortable and convenient to rig their gears on grassland!

We got eight good wind days in two weeks' period in mid November. The monstrously big north wind started to blow from Nov 13. Throughout the whole week, the wind was between 30-60 knots, meaning that we mostly used sails between 3.7 and 4.5 sq.m. Same as ever, the hardcore condition did not discourage our brave-hearted sailors. Among all, Matt must be one of the luckiest guys, coz he could spend almost the whole week here, combating the hi-wind, trying his new sail and grasping all the fun!

Ian and Mindy completed our windsurf lessons two weeks ago. Today they came back for some windsurf practice - and brought some more friends here as well. Three newbies enthusiastically started their first windsurf exploration, and thanks to the perfect wind condition, all could easily grasp the essentials and set sails quite successfully. Great to see Mindy's triumphant performance today, especially when she could do beautiful tacks all the time!

It was the Chung Yeung Festival in Hong Kong and a lot of people came and spent their long weekend here at LCS. Comme and her family and friends simply enjoyed a kayak exploration and it was great to see her two girls enjoying the paddling much!

It's been a long-awaited holiday for Ian and Mindy as they had planned this windsurf vacation for four months. Good for them was the surprise visit from Ian's brother, Gonzalo. The three of them joined our windsurf class and had good fun during their visit here.

After a busy mid-autumn Saturday night, the light North wind on Sunday morning was able to bring some fun for the wind lovers. Not only did we windsurf, but also sailed on a Hobie which was a great experience!

At night, the LCS team finally could sit down, relax ourselves and enjoyed a cozy BBQ, and here came the craziest idea - to go on windsurfing in a full moon night! The team of six set up some beginner gears, put on fluorescent rings everywhere, and and off we went! The north wind blew stronger and stronger and we could even plan on 4m beginning sails. What an exciting night!

Our heart was lightened when we saw the beautiful weather. Once again it was a busy weekend with many people returned for windsurf practice. Glad to meet Benjamin and the team who camped at our place and enjoyed kayaking a lot!

Chantal's boy turned ten this weekend, and she was keen to organizing a surf party for the birthday boy. Twelves kids came today and enjoyed a surfing exercise which they found it educational yet entertaining!

Meanwhile, a belated birthday party was held by Carrie for her friends in the evening. She booked our place early in June but couldn't come due to typhoons. The group finally could make it and enjoyed a beautiful evening BBQ get-together.

P.S. The nomadic windsurfers from Stanley once again arrived at Cheung Sha for the good wind season here! Check out their whole load of windsurf gear and our new extension - the team was enthusiastic about parking their gear at our newly-built, private storage shelves!

Some wind, some waves, and best of all - the best weather in the early Autumn season. Thank you Sherry for providing some of the best pictures from her own collection - their beautiful smiles brightened our day!

After challenging themselves with our kayak trip and enjoying some good surfing a few weekends ago, Johnny and his friends visited LCS the third time this summer. The wind today was just perfect for their windsurf practice. What a fun-seeking group who enjoyed all sorts of watersports!

On the other hand, Fanny and her friends were first time visitors, but also enjoyed a lot of kayaking and windsurfing while staying with us at our Safari tent.

Summer is always a light wind season, but it provides an ideal condition for beginners to start. This week, we had Alien, Wai & Wai joining our Windsurf Exploration, Cathy & her friend coming for practice themselves; Bonnie and her buddies enjoying windsurfing and kayaking, and Heidi's group learning windsurfing and having a birthday BBQ together.

Was this some kind of jokes, but why did the typhoon fall on every weekend!!!

Victor and his family came to LCS last October in the aftermath of Typhoon Hagupit, and could not enjoy much of our facilities. This year, they decided to visit us again and stayed in our Safari tent. Enjoying the beautiful weather and the light breeze this whole week, the trio finally got a chance to start on windsurfing! It was indeed a rewarding break!

Two Hong Kong top windsurf champions arrived LCS this week for two weeks of physical training. We were so impressed, as we saw our athletes who strived to keep themselves in good shape by spending their time everyday cycling, windsurfing and surfing.

Meanwhile, an IKO Instructor Training course was also conducted here. It was the perfect weather as the South-westerly wind blew constantly during the whole week, and the seven instructors-to-be could enjoy some fun out of their intensive training.

Everyone was expecting as the waves this year really came too late! Normally starting every May or June, the first surf finally came slowly in the last week of June. A lot of surfers just couldn't wait to get into the water!

The waves started to pick up this week, but it was still weak - only the kids could have some fun! However, we did have two good days of unexpected south-westerly wind. What a surprise!

Our motto - you can do it all, or do nothing at all!

Time after time we have had enthusiastic windsurf students who have a passion to learn and improve. Their hard work, and their big smiles on the faces when they ever completed a task or a new trick, always cheers us up!

Holly and her friends came to LCS this afternoon. They windsurfed, kayaked, had some interesting games, and enjoyed a cozy BBQ get-together until dark!

Summer's back! There are lots of reasons to come to the beach again! Some came for a bit of action, some enjoyed a bit of relaxation; some came back for gastronomic satisfactions, while some would like to meet new friends!

Hong Kong has been blessed with an abundant supply of East wind these days. Today, a few keen windsurfers sailed so close to the ferry channel, and experienced a lot of excitement and fun!

Another bonus day! Since the rain stopped at around 1:30pm, some northerly breeze has started to wake us up. While no one believed that it would continue to blow constantly, Oba and Hau were the first ones to go into the water. Realising that the wind was blowing so firmly without any sign of dropping, Kenji and Philippe joined together. At 4:00pm, the wind dropped a bit for half hour, but when the wind picked up again at around 5:00, all went out again until dark.

It was one of the best days again.

P.S. Spot the young guy with a black and white sail - "Kenji" has just started windsurfing for two months only and today he's already planing a bit!

While the weather forecast said that there should be thunderstorm and no wind on Monday, it turned out to be a great sunny North wind day.

The wind blew from 10:30am till 3:00pm. Per, Philippe, Denis and Hau enjoyed a lot with sails sized 6.7 to 7.5 sq.m.

It was rare to have North wind in April time. Everyone had great fun!

It was Easter holiday, Duncan and his friends came again for an action holiday. Today, the water was packed with all kinds of seasports - windsurfing, kayaking and sailing. Of course the kids also enjoyed collecting shells and a warm sand bath under the sun!

Linda had her first taste of windsurfing during her short break at LCS!

This year the season seemed to have come back early - see our guests enjoying the beach in different styles!

The wind was crazy this morning. So many wind lovers visited LCS today despite the cold weather.

Iron man Ah-Kwink was out 2 hours with 3.7m sail + 93 board in the morning, and switched to 5.0m in the afternoon. He was for sure the happiest among the whole group today.

Flo was out with Kwink on his 4.5m sail, while Matt was with his 4.5m cam sail in the morning, which was a little bit overpowered.

A few Cheung Chau windsurfers came today, but their 5m+/- sails were just too big to enjoy the strong breeze in the morning until the wind died down a bit from noon.

In the afternoon, Chiu Yan started to get use to the condition here with the 4.0m sail + 100L board. Tat enjoyed a nice 4.5m session with his most favorite Skate board, and Philippe was so happy with his 4.5m sail. What an awesome New Year present from our mother nature!

Playing the sand, learning windsurfing, paddling a bit, there are still a lot of things you can enjoy in a warm December afternoon.

The north wind was blowing strongly at Cheung Sha today. We were glad to meet a pro kitesurfer, who is a Naish team rider and a Prolimit designer. Seeing his jumping higher, higher and higher, all of us enjoyed a very spectacular demonstration.

It was a windsurf holiday for all wind lovers, when the three days of north wind in a row brought them so much fun, excitement and surprise. The first day was a light wind prelude while everyone used sail sizes around 7m as to warm up; the second day was an all-day fun with all used 6m+/- in the morning and some 7m in the afternoon; while the third day was definitely a super bonus - only the strongest sailors can challenge the big strong gale with small sails of 5m.

Join in our Windsurf Lesson or Exploration Class, and you will find learning to windsurf couldn't have been easier!

Sharon and Manning attended their windsurf lesson today, and they both enjoyed their first attempt. In the evening, the friends enjoyed another first time - grilling a baby pig!

August is a month for reunion…

Haven't met KK and his family for almost a year. The reason is… they have a new-born baby! Congratulations!

Meanwhile, Dave returned again for a "G-I-Y" BBQ, bringing a lot of his old acquaintances to LCS. Grilling a pig is, as always, deliciously fun!

We are also proud to introduce Harrison, our newly graduated 8-year-old windsurf student. Today, he even brought some of his friends "on board" and enjoyed a joyous cruising around!

Of course, there were many old and new faces coming to LCS for windsurfing and skimboarding!

A lot of happenings… and good to see some old faces, and some new faces as well…

Mike and Mandy have come to LCS for a few times, hoping to enjoy a few good surf. Seeing our guests enjoying themselves windsurfing, they were also interested in trying, and yes, finally, they came and join one of our windsurf lessons today!

Our friends from Shenzhen, Tomas, Wilson, Ah-to and Andy also came to Hong Kong during the China holidays. They work in the sail industry and it is a good time for them to try out their products!

And Tony Fish, famous windsurf addict from Taiwan, also came to Long Coast. Despite the light wind, he still enjoyed a bit of freestyling here.

We were joined by Jacky's group as well as Christine's family for a relaxing weekend. Although it was a little bit drizzly, the group still enjoyed the beach and the water very much. There was a little bit of surf so everyone enjoyed something!

If anyone was at LCS on February 2, braving the strong 30-knot wind using sails of 4.5m+/-, with 2 wetsuits on, at 7 degrees which was equivalent to 0 - 1 degree under the wind chill effect, they would admit that it was like heaven on February 3, with sunny, warm weather, as well as strong and steady wind. Guys all used sails range from 4.7 to 5.5m, and had a very enjoyable 2.5-hour session in the morning. After lunch, sails of 6m+ were some good sizes to pick the gust for another 2 hours.

By the way, these guys were not just windsurfers, but were professional models; posing every minute from the time they rigged their sails, got ready to go, and when they were planning full speed in the water!

Such joyous day to have such good wind and so many friends to celebrate with us! It's fun, it's the spirit, and it's "Happy New Year"!!

It was already the 3rd north wind day. Sail sizes of 4.4 to 5.5 reigned the whole day. Someone bought a sail, someone broke a board. Nonetheless, everyone was happy and satisfied.

A&M came to LCS for windsurf lesson this Christmas holiday. How lucky for them to experience both a windy and choppy condition to start off, and a calmer session for easy practice during the 2-day lessons. Before they left, they could even taste a little bit of our strong north wind! Hope that they could continue their practice and could enjoy windsurfing as much as we do!

The How's family came to LCS on the night of the Christmas Eve. Setting up the tent at our camping ground, the kids helped collecting branches from the backyard, and together they built up a huge bonfire and enjoyed a quiet but warm Christmas celebration. The next day, Duncan, Yoyo and Anthony tried a bit of windsurfing and enjoyed a lot of fun on the beach.

Merry X'mas! How lovely to have so many friends coming to LCS and enjoy a good windy day racing with each other! These are our windsurf buddies we have known for a long time, and we had so much fun!

The wind at Cheung Sha can sometimes be crazy. On Monday, the typhoon-like north wind blew all day from early morning till 4pm - only dropping a bit for a short while at noon time. Most of the time, using sails of 4.5m was quite overpowered inside the gust. And until around 4:30pm, sail size of 4.5m was still way over-sized like crazy. Some friends from Cheung Chau also rented a boat to come joining us to enjoy such a great day. They anchored outside of Cheung Sha beach and jumped directly into the water from there. **Shark nets finally removed!!!**

On Tuesday, the wind blew even stronger. No words could describe such conditions...

The funny thing about southeasterly wind is that, it blows most of the time at noon time. If the wind is blowing mild easterlies in the morning, there might be high chances that the wind will turn southeast in the afternoon. It will not be very strong, but this constant breeze will provide some good fun on big sails for some hours. Today, Magali, Yves, Ricky and Dilys caught this good time and kept tuning up their skills.

Wow! It was the third North day in a row already - and it was extremely satisfying for the hardcore players! The wind blew almost whole day until 4:00pm. Sailors all used 4+ in average. Although the wind was sometimes a bit overpowered, it was totally manageable and very enjoyable!

It was cold and drizzly. However for wind lovers, they have always been psychologically strong enough to overcome all extreme conditions. Seeing the strong white cap in the water, everyone got emotionally high, and off they went!

They go where the wind blows - the well-known "Pak Shek Army" has migrated to Cheung Sha this winter! Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for some good action together!

It's sunny and breezy! The guys were like racing against each other, using sails 6m +/-. What an awesome day!

High wind for a second day! And it was even more crazy than yesterday. Sails larger than 5m were plainly impossible. Combating with the wind after one round, Jannes concluded that "scary" was merely an understatement. Guys were on sails between 3.7 and 4.7m only!

North wind has come! It blew from 8am in the morning, and we could see big big white caps outside. The general sail call of 3.7 to 5.9m was more than enough.

Duncan, Yoyo and families came to visit us again. They found a lot of giant clams in the sea - what a delightful catch! They put them in the barbecue, and the clams were fat and juicy - absolutely tasty! Meanwhile, we were also very happy to have Bonnie and her friends returning to LCS again! The fun never stops!

LCS has once again been blessed by the continuous North wind this week. Since Tuesday, we have had a few days of unbelievably great fun. It was really an unexpected bonus in April time.

Eight people. Five windsurf students. What would they do together when they were not windsurfing? Tonight, a bunch of crazy guys enjoyed a relaxing night with food, wine, guitar and old songs.

This week, we met Patrick and Gail. They both work for "Semester At Sea", which operates study abroad voyages round the world. They just arrived from Japan and would stay at Hong Kong for 2 days before heading to their next stop - Vietnam, and were able to enjoy much water sport during their break. What an interesting job with a very rewarding experience!

We had some old friends coming to visit us from Stanley. Most of them are experienced windsurfers and we've known each other for many years. At night, we enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, some nice chat and a midnight BBQ... The next day, they got up at 6am and were just too eager to try out this new spot!

The early coming North wind this weekend has brought so much fun to LCS. Since Saturday, windsurfers have enjoyed three days of continuous blasting in the flat water condition, using small sails size 3.7 to 5.5 sq.m. Spectators wouldn't feel bored for they were so amazed by the speedy action and marvelous tricks!

There has always been a misconception that windsurfing is a "men" sports which requires lots of physical strength - like you are pulling or carrying heavy stuff or pumping all the time. With more and more ladies joining our windsurfing class, you'll know windsurfing's meant to be "fun"... Magali, Jingle, Ciric, Isabelle, Catherine, Kristine, Winnie... keep on!!! We hope to see you blasting in the sea this coming winter :)

After five-hour of hard paddling the day before, Frankie & Friends were still full of energy. See how these "crazy" guys had fun in the water!

Catherine and her friends just learnt how to windsurf at LCS. Today, she went on her fairwell sailing as she will be leaving for New York to continue her studies. Work hard!

Seven Japanese windsurfers got stuck at the Hong Kong International Airport because of the typhoon. They could not find a place to stay and had to stay at the airport for the night. Finally they managed to come to LCS and we had a really good time. They were really very good windsurfers and instructors. We shared fun and laughter together. Thank you Makoto, Toru, Emi, Jun (Mouse Man), Yoshi, Tomo and Ken... We will miss you all and we hope we will see each other very soon. "MADA NE!!"

The wave condition was so fierce, no windsurfers and surfers attempted to go out the sea at Cheung Sha, but there was a good show by a pro kitesurfer - Mike.

10-year-old Duncan learnt to stand on the windsurfer today. With our new 2m kid rig in store, he could enjoy the fun of windsurfing more easily than ever. It is fun!

Our advice to all future windsurfers - SSPPP, that is, skill, sense, psychological strength, physical strength and persistence... Good luck to you all...

Long Coast has been blessed with a constant supply of south westerly monsoon this week. Wind lovers were having fun!

Chiu & family from New Jersey came to visit LCS this week. Although Sam and Dorothy were the first time to know windsurfing, they both did very well in the 2-day lessons while their parents kept accompanying them by enjoying paddling around them. Although the wind and weather condition in New Jersey is not so favorable for this sports, we hope they can remember what they learn this year. See you all next summer!

Our little warrior - Claudia - went on her first windsurfing exploration. Claudia will be turning ten this year, and has been very enthusiastic in windsurfing since the last school sports promotion. Today, she tried to stand on the board for the first time and do some cruising! Well done Claudia and we would love to see her enjoying more of windsurfing in the coming days!

Finally the wave's here! See all the happy faces surfing and bodyboarding here!

Typhoon Chanchu has brought a good supply of Northerly wind this weekend. It was good news for the wind lovers, but it was also a bad news to us because the kayaks can hardly go out. At the end, our kayak tour to Shui Hou needed to be called off.

While the windsurfers have expected that there were also some good North wind this Sunday, they arrived early at LCS, only to find that the wind did not last long. But there is nothing to be disappointed, as the weather turned out warm and sunny, and our guests enjoyed a great afternoon.

Good sunny day. We had a windsurfing family coming to visit us. "DAI TOU MUI" has been quite famous in the windsurfing circle. She is only 9 but she has quite some time of windsurfing experience. All the kids tried on the big beginner board with a 2.0m sails on the calm water condition. Thank you "DAI TOU MUI" and "NGAU TSAI" for the lovely picture!

It was the Easter holiday, and it was unpredictably COLD! The temperature dropped down 10 degrees to 13 degrees because of the sudden cold front from the North. Although it was cold, the windsurfers had some good fun because the North wind blowing down from the Lantau and Sunset Peak provided a perfect condition for them. They generally used sails with size from 5.0m to 6.0m on April 13, from 6.0m to 8.0m on April 14; and on April 15, we even tried to use a 3.7m in the morning - which was crazy!
