Slope Soaring in Phuket
Singapore's Johnnie Wong Claims the title of the first person to slope Soar
on Phuket Island , Thailand
at the slope facing the Adaman sea. The uninterrupted wind from the unblocked
ocean is not very
strong but thermals are INCREDIBLE.. (as of June 1 2001)
If you know someone else who has done this FIRST , please email me!!
