Apart from being a really nice guy, Patrick of Bambou Adventure Team is one of those True Water-Men who never gets out of shape, no matter what happens. I was Windsurfing on Stand Up Paddle Boards with him when a huge swell broke on his head, unable to turn his board in time and ride away from the foaming white lip, he simply unhooked and wore the monster on his head. I could just see the top panel of his sail, then, It snatched his board and rig away and left him about 600M out to sea. After a few failed towing experiments in the impact zone, Patrick told me he would be ok to swim back and I should go ahead and rescue his gear from the shore break. Well that wave, broke his mast clean in two and tore the sail, but Patrick walked out of the shore break smiling, not even out of breath, shook my hand and said he was happy to make the memory with me. Not every day we see Mast high waves in Thailand...and Patrick is an expert at board and equipement repairs so it was not a big deal. On that day we were testing equipment in pretty extreme conditions. Patrick a Windsurfing and Sailing instructor has been living in Phuket for 17 years and knows where to go to get the best wind and waves at any time of year.
