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!!
