GO GO GO…..pursue your dream my child. Japanese son, Kensei Ikeda (left) picture with Mui & Cowboy Mum (right) at home.
Windsurfing to me is something more than mere exercise. It is a representative of a number of things: a healthy life balance, harmony between nature, a life philosophy….It enables me to live my life to the fullest.
The sport provides me priceless experiences and great opportunities to meet fascinating people around the world. These are the wonderful things that I wish to sha...

When you label someone as trash, have you ever think of the consequence? Labels suck. So do labellers. I beg you all not to use derogatory terms to label people. Parents in particular, don’t ever use such labels to hurt your children any more. Such consequences can always be so destructive that is far beyond your imagination…..
NOBODY is trash. CURVO is not trash….. Every CURVO has a story behind.

我係咪一件「垃圾」，唔係由你定斷。當你話人家係一件垃圾嘅同時，不如先問吓你自己又有幾咁唔似一件垃圾。當你標籤人家嘅時候，有無諗過後果會有幾嚴重?奉勸各位朋友，特別係天下嘅父母，無論你嘅子女有多激心，都千祈唔好再鬧佢哋係「垃圾」，唔好再話生舊叉燒好過生你。
「垃圾+垃圾+垃圾，從此唔再係一件垃圾......CURVO可能係世上垃圾中嘅極品。」
清明節剛過去，很傷感緬懷一個英年早逝的堂弟。年少時的堂弟，就是一個被社會標籤為無心向學，紀律欠奉，沒有前途的「垃圾」。當年，被視為冇得救的曳仔，大多會被屋企送往赤柱航海學校(赤航)寄宿。大概因為堂弟擺脫不了這個「垃圾」標籤，終於結束了自己的生命。
其實，只要當年堂弟能夠容忍一時之氣，制定好自己的目標，再用一套正確的方法、堅毅不屈、持續向目標進發，深信他總有一日能夠狠狠還那些瞧不起他的人一個耳光。盼望在天國的他能看到這些年，赤航出了不少傑出校友，包括海事處副處長曾文清、著名填詞人鄭國江、運動健將謝瑞麟和戚浩賢，他倆為香港歷史性奪得亞洲帆船錦標賽420船種銀牌。此外，近年赤航更有不少學生考進大學，打破赤航仔讀唔成書嘅標籤。今時今日，透過赤航上下一心的多年努力，學生已在不同範疇包括紀律部隊、酒店業及餐飲業有良好的發展，睇怕現今已再沒有人引用「垃圾」一詞去標籤赤航仔了。

If there is such a category as obstacle race in the Olympic Windsurfing, I have no doubt that the Hong Kong windsurfing athletes will sure to take the lead. One can never imagine how crowded Hong Kong can be especially when you have to squeeze into the subway train at rush hours, shuffle into a lift shoulder-to-shoulder…..queuing up for table at restaurants on holiday and not to mention the claustrophobic experience that you have to fight your way in the water when you go windsurfing at Hong Kong beaches.

假若奧運會滑浪風帆項目能加設障礙賽，深信香港運動員肯定坐亞望冠。活在香港這個地小人多的地方，香港人實在很哀哉! 每日除咗好可憐逼地鐵番工放工，仲要出盡九牛二虎之力，擠入呼吸大力啲都會過重嘅升降機，到咗假日又要和成村人爭位飲茶，就連去沙灘玩滑浪風帆都要擠在丁方嘅水裏滑行。
話雖如此，赤柱的泥鯭風(時大時細的窒風)，加上障礙重重的環境限制，就正是孕育一等一滑浪風帆高手的搖籃。相信只有曾經在赤柱玩過水上活動的朋友，才能體會到要和滑浪風帆、帆船、快艇、獨木舟、立式划槳再加上龍舟一齊爭路的苦況，這是一般人難以想像的事情。假若你能在這極狹窄和交通極混亂的局面下殺出一條血路，你已可晉身一等一高手行列。

自從赤柱正灘水上活動中心啟用後，可供各水上活動器材下水進出的範圍已經變得很局限，再加上近年赤柱龍訓練中心的成立，海面上的交通就變得更惡劣。深信大家都明白到海灘是屬於大眾市民，而非個別水上活動中心或屬會，所以盼望大家...

It is inevitable that we have to face physical decline, slow reflexes and mental capacities to diminish. However, as long as we can grasp the valuable lessons that we learned from our past experiences and develop it into our own life philosophy, I trust that we can all spice up the rest of our life and bring back all the fun, passio...
