Kitesurfer cross delta trip postponed

Yesterday’s anticipated kitesurfer crossing of the Pearl River Delta, starting at Hong Kong’s Cheung Chau Beach and arriving at Ha Sac Beach in Coloane, was postponed by organizers due to bureaucratic problems. According to what the Times could ascertain from kitesurfer Hillian Siu, the problem was not related to the kitesurfing part of the adventure but, instead, with the clearance needed for the supporting boat. Siu told the Times that the group could not obtain clearance “early enough for me to catch the early wind,” an unfortunate event that organizers aim to correct soon. The sea-crossing adventure aims to raise awareness over the accumulation of plastic and garbage in the oceans and raise funds for an ocean-cleaning project.
