| Reef Hong Kong Surf Cup 2012 |
| |
A week before the comp there were no waves at Tai Long Wan, unitl the 24th Nov. Saturday afternoon swell strated to pump. On the 25th Nov. Sunday Reef Surf Cup kicks off at 9:30am and we had head high waves most time of the day. God blessed Reef Surf Cup! Although we had waves and the riders were stoked, but the weather wasn't good as it was rainning from time to time, temprature dropped so the cold and wet wasn't pleasent.
|
 |
| |
| We have again around 70 competitors compete in 2012, but we missed a lot of spectators due to bad weather. We had a beach party on Saturday night with BBQ on the site and were lucky rain didn't come until midnight, it was windy and wet sleeping in the tent that night but we went on to start the first heats at 9:30am. We splited the heats in 2 courses to finish the all heats quicker, we managed to finish all final heats at 4pm. We had to dash to do the prize giving and dash back to Chek Keng Pier while we still had day lights. |
| |
This year Reef increased the prize money to $15,000 cash plus lot of prizes sponored by different companies, including Channel Islands, Skull Candy, X Game, GoPro and Legend Distribution.
Again we need to say big thanks to Reef our title sponsor, Ms. Jenn Kong's great help..we like to say thanks to Channel Islands Surfboards, Skull Candy for their efforts to make the comp more colorful. Help from Antony Dickson our head judge and all the other judges, Ka Ying Gor for the sound/visual systems, Ar Bee and William Prince for F&B, Mr. & Mrs. Volker for the lovely breakfast (cooked under the storm!), Mesh crews for their burgers, Hoi Fung Store and uncle Kwok & Ar Wai for logistic, lastly of course the X Game crews for the super hard work. We thank you for your support and will see you at Tai Long Wan next year! |

| X Game Himalayas Adventure 2012 |
| |
| X Game made another great snowboarding trip in India in Feb. 2012. Board Himalayas is your dream, we will go back! Ken gather 20 people early morning at the HK airport and took our flight to New Delhi spend 2 nights there sightseeing (interesting but next time we miss this part), then we took a Kingfisher flight from Delhi to Srinagar, visited the beautiful Dal Lake and spend a night on the famous houseboats, freezing at night so we will miss this part again next time. |
| |
 |
| |
Food there is quite good if you like Indian curry, but they serve 3 times a day with curry so af
ter 2 days I guess it's too much. Local food there we ate was Kashmir food, quite nice actually and we usually drink water from bottle, lucky none of us got stomach problem. We did see lot of Kashmian armies with machine guns around, but they are very friendly to tourists and often we took pictures with them with our snowboards. |
| |
 |
| |
| From the Dal Lake drive up to the mountain is about 2 hours on some bumpy and icy roads, so chain the wheels are needed, in the cabin the driver plays Indian music so you have this sound always in your brain after the ride, we loved it though. We stay in this European style hotel at 9000 feet and it looks good, but often "black out" or run out of hot water. Never mind that because we were there for the powder... |
| |
 |
| |
| I traveled to different snow resorts to look for good conditions for the past 20 years, boarded in Europe, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, Japan, Korea, China and even North Pole. But nothing compare to Gulmarg, it's for big mountain riders. Tree runs are best I have ridden so far, untouched powder in every run and no trial maps, no chair lifts, you don't see any body but your group. We basically have to train how to use the ASE (avalanche safety equipment) and follow the guide in every run. Fish boards or big mountain pow boards is a must, split boards even better as some run will take over 4 hours over 12,000 feet. I would not recommend beginners to join this tour but if you a decent rider is fine, the guide usually split us to small groups, make sure you fit in the group with similar level. A guide can take 4-5 riders so we had about 5 guides in our trip, instead of going up to the mountain by chair lifts we go up by jeep (chained wheels), often we drift on the road but it's quite exciting. Heli-boarding is available too if the weather is good, price is not too bad either ($200 per drop) and we can see K2 right behind you on the top. |
| |
 |
| |
| We plan to go again in 2013 and if you are interested, stay tune with our facebook and soon we will post the details for next trips. We go there for the powder and some untouched terrain, we're not going there for luxury. So no crying babies...skiers welcome too.

| Reef Hong Kong Surf Cup 2011 |
| |
Reef again our title sponsor this year for the "Reef HK Surf Cup 2011". Event was held on 27th November 2011 at Tai Long Wan, Sai Kung. We have 66 competitors this year and lucky we had nice weather over the weekend.
|
 |
| |
We had a surf movie premiere, Reef presents the Path of the "Modern Gypsy" at Hoi Fung Store on Saturday night, we had a 8 foot wide screen this time and everyone really enjoyed it with lots of beers. As usual the freebies were given to everyone and had a beach party at Tai Long Wan afterward..
|
 |
| |
On Sunday the heats started at 10am with 2 race courses, waves were good in the morning and tide was going out in the afternoon so waves dropped a little bit after lunch. Riders kept going for the heats and we managed to complete all the finals heats before 4pm. In general the weather and waves were good for the competition, all competitors were happy with the condition. Reef has increased the cash prize money to $12,000.00 this year, X Game were told it will be more prize money in 2012 so we really looking forward to that. Possibly the Hong Kong Surf Cup will be part of the ASC (Asian Surfing Championship) in 2012, X Game is still working on it.

 |
| |
| Again we need to say big thanks to Reef our title sponsor, Ms. Jenn Kong's great help..we like to say thanks to Channel Islands Surfboards, Skull Candy for their efforts to make the comp more colorful. Help from Antony Dickson our head judge and all the other judges, Ka Ying Gor for the sound/visual systems, Ar Dong and Sunny for F&B, Hoi Fung Store and uncle Kwok for logistic, lastly of course the X Game crews for the super hard work.

| X Game 100% Powder Hokkaido Tour 2010 |
| |
| Sunrise of the day of January 31 Sunday, already got the snowboards all packed and ready to go. Group gathered at 8am at the Hong Kong airport hit a CX direct flight to Sapporo and arrived in the afternoon, checked in the hotel and did a bit of tour in the city. Next day we took a bus to Niseko check in Hilton Niseko Village resort, first time we came back after it renamed “Hilton”. Hotel it’s nice but need shuttle to Hirafu area if you want to hang out or shopping. |
 |
| |
| Snowboarding 5 days in a roll with wonderful powder, the condition was so great that everyday we had tones of snow fall. Usually Jan-Feb is the best time of the year for snow and it will never disappoint you. We split to a few groups in the day, some go to the top and cross over to An’nupuri go for the Fukayuki-rinkan run, 100% powder and trees slalom. Some prefer the Misoshiru near the hotel, it’s a black run with super thick powder so never mind the high speed, it won’t hurt but laugh when you fall! Other like to hang out on the Hirafu side, some friendly runs near the bottom…anyway, all had great fun. |
 |
 |
 |
| |
| We look forward to do more snow tours in 2011 and wish you will “Join our Ride” in the future. See you next year!! |

| X Game Chamonix Snowboard Tour 2010 |
| |
| On 15th January 2010 evening, X Game tour started to head to London catch a flight to Geneva, then 3 private buses pick us up at Geneva airport, less 2 hours ride then we all arrived at Biolay Chalets where is about 10 minutes to town centre. |
 |
| |
| First day the snow fall was good and we spend the whole day at Le Tour, visibility wasn’t great so was more like a warm up ride. Second day the sun was out so we all went to Grand Montets, lots of runs but bit icy on the track, all had fun time. The rest 3 full days we visited other piste like Brevent, Valley Blanch with the French guild and much powder there. Courmayer in Italy was nice, after a 40 minutes bus ride, just to ski on the Italian mountain. |
 |
| |
| We hope to plan another one next year and gather more Hong Kong snowboarders board on the Alps. |

| |
| This year X Game is so happy to have Hurley International to be our title sponsor, Hurley also sent Mr. Rizal Tanjung (General Manager of Hurley South Asia) the Bali legendary pro surfer to this event, helped out for the judging as well as a demo session. Rizal said "this is quite a nice concept to camp on the site and the hiking trail is beautiful, the crowd was willing to make such effort to go all the way there are core and keen in surfing, I like that!" |
 |
| |
The competition started at 9:50am with the horn by Grant Robinson (the head judge) and heats back to back non stop, we had to run 2 race courses to complete all the heats on time and finished the last heat at around 4:00pm.

| X Game 2009 Niseko, Hokkaido Tour |
| |
| On the evening of 13th of January 2009, we all gathered at Hong Kong airport and head to Tokyo, arrived in the middle of the night and Chitose airport was closed due to the heavy snow, we didn't want to be stuck in Tokyo so we flew to Asahikawa which 5 hours away from Niseko...After the long bus ride we arrived with tones of snow everywhere, the 1st day was almost too much snow and our boards sunk a meter below, just don't fall or you have to work hard to get up! |
 |
| |
| This year we putted everyone in a private onsen room in Hirafutei and it's a bonus after whole day boarding on the slopes. As Burton has arranged 10 units of the 2010 demo boards for our tour to try, Masa from Burton Japan took the boards to the hotel the first morning, some got to try few models in the trip and some got free lessons from Masa, he explained what is new for the next season, the "V Rocker" is something we will focus at, some of us tried them and found the V Rocker boards are easy to ride and hold well. Another board we have to watch is the Method 2010, the lightest deck ever in production, most expensive deck in the Burton range, X Game has ordered a 158cm and can be seen in October/Nov 2009. |
 |
| |
| X Game will again organize tours to Japan next year and arrange more new boards for the tour to test out, stay tuned in our website and we will do tours to Korea and France next year. Ken from X Game started snowboarding in 1991 in France with a rental wooden Burton board, started import Burton brand to Hong Kong in 1993, market was really small unlike today. X Game will keep pushing the sport and more people will enjoy the thrill... |

| X Game x Wake4fun Beijing Snow Tour 2009 |
| |
| In the morning of 7th January 2009, some 60 people gathered to take off to Beijing from HK airport. The 1st day we arranged everyone to visit the "Bird Nest" then shopping, weather was cold but sunny, arrived at the hotel in the same evening then start the 3 days full day riding on the slope. |
 |
| |
 |
|
This time we have most wakeboarders and some first time to try out how to slide on the snow instead of the water. X Game has few coaches teaching the beginners on the 1st and 2nd day, lots of them managed to ride by themselves after the first morning. Believe wakeboarding helps when you step on a snowboard, everyone was so natural and some Wake4Fun members found one more X Game sport to enjoy with during winter. |
|
| |
| Burton China again lend out some Burton boards to our tour and thanks to William Avedon (the Burton representative for China and HK). He has been helping out the previous X Game Snow Jam/competitions and help to promote the sport through out the region, he's also a crazy snowboarder and skateboarder especially when he had a few beers! |
|
 |
|
| |
 |
|
Lucky enough we had a chance to watch the "Nanshan Open" on Saturday before we headed back to HK the next day. Nanshan Mellow Park is a well designed and great for big air competitions, we enjoy very much watching those riders doing all the big jumps, riders from all over the world and most jumps were really sick!
X Game will surely do more snow tours in the future and thanks to Wake4Fun to support this tour 100%, we wish this boarder's culture will united to all related X Game sports, cause we like to stand "sideway"..... |

| X Game Hong Kong Surf Cup 2008 |
| |
| Under the beautiful weather and waves conditions in November 23rd at Tong Long Wan, Sai Kung, the X Game Hong Kong Surf Cup 08 has successfully finished and all the winners earned home a lot of prizes. Total 68 competitors and some 300 people gather to witness the exciting battles on the day. Thanks to our sponsors Billabong, Channel Islands Surfboards, Sanuk, China Coast Surf and Asahi beers to make the event so colourful. As usual, we have music (by DJ Richard), BBQ and lots of Asahi beers. Although it takes one hour hiking from Chek Keng to the site but it didn't stop the spectators and friends to join the crowd. |
 |
| |
| Event highlight was Rizal Tanjung performed a demo session between heats, also thanks to Rizal for judging the final heats and the battles were heating up, men's A final was between 2 Philippines riders, a South African and a Israeli rider. We finished all the heats before the sunset and had much stuff to move out, thanks to Ken and his team for all the efforts as well as the local store to lend out the tables, BBQ equipment and the generator. Of course we must mention Grant Robinson to lead whole bunch of judges to do the hard work, giving scores under the sun from 9am to 4pm. So we are looking forward to a bigger and better Surf Cup next year.... |

Usually a popular getaway spot for city-dwellers, Shek O held host to X Game 2nd skimboard JAM. This much anticipated event drew in the best skimboarders from around the region, who came to showcase their skills, style and all-out athleticism. While it's still a relatively young activity out here in Hong Kong, this hybrid sport of skateboarding and surfing has definitely made its impact worldwide.
Of over 20 competitors from that day, Arthur Kor, from Singapore claimed the first prize with an outstanding performance that which was the perfect balance of flashy moves and smooth style. The 1st runner up, Alfian Affandi, also from Singapore, opted  for a more hard hitting approach with a superman trick of extreme power moves that left the audience and fellow competitors in awe. The 2nd runner up was Ho Ka Fai, Cofe, a native to Hong Kong, Cofe displayed amazing wave riding skills that influence on the local wave riders which will not go without notice.
At the end of the day, the awards were handed out at the after-barbeque-party organized by X Game. Without out the generosity of SAMSUNG, Sprite Zero, Asahi, Indo Board, Poo Skimboards, HEY MAN, Modern Beauty, Hawaiian Tropic, O’Neill wetsuit, Milk and JUICE, this event would have not been a success. |

The 2nd Rip Curl Cup was successfully ended on Sunday 11th Dec, the event attracted some 200 audiences, surfers and competitors to Tai Long Wan at Sai Kung. The journey was little bit tough because of the boat ride plus loading the people to the beach. But the weather made everything so enjoyable, sun was out with light NNE breeze and the waves were good for the competition.
We had 40 contestants some locals surfers as well as many local Gwai Lo, we managed to finish 15 heats to find the winners. After many heats of combat on the water, Anthony Dickson got the best score to earn the Champion title, then followed by 1st Runner up Spencer Barton and 2nd Runner up Alex Gibbs.
We deeply appreciate those sponsors, lots of support from different companies. On site we have Pepperonis put up a BBQ and wine bar, so everyone can have burgers and hot dogs...beers were sold out fast, also they brought a generator to blast some R&B and ACDC music, the atmosphere was great. Brain from Pepperonis has offered dinner coupons to the winners.

Singapore and China. The women and men's open class was spectacular, Lota from Thailand earned the champion title and took home $5000.00, women's champion went to Miku from Japan and took home $3000.00. Only little drama before the open class started, a thunder storm hit the course and dragged everything 2 hours behind, lucky the competition went on after the storm and also completed the wakeskate class before sunset. A simple prize giving ceremony was done right away on site to wrap up the event.
