Were in the thick of the monsoon now. The rains have eased and all that's left is a glorious sea breeze, blue skies and cooler temperatures than normal. So, happy new year to all!!

Folks, the weather is becoming more and more monsoon-like, what with the increasing odds of rainfall and the winds picking up gradually. As a result of this, we're ramping down our activities and will be shuttering completely by later this month. That is... until next year of course. See you in March 2021. Have a good one!

Great news! CNN liked the article I did on Tanjung Resang. In fact, they liked it enough to publish it on the iReport section of their website.
Have a look

Time flies... The North-east monsoon is definitely making way for the inter-monsoon period. The "cold spells" from China are no longer extending down to Vietnam, let alone ti us in Malaysia. The good news is that the Tioman sea water visibility will be improving quickly. And if the buzz from the islands is anything to go by, then the
viz is awesome already. So it's promising to be a crystal-clear season for snorkeling and scubadiving alike. Bubbly, anyone? :)

October 2012 - North-east monsoon creeping closer
Please keep in mind that the seasons are beginning to show signs of changing from South-west monsoon to North-east monsoon. Weather and sea state may at times be changeable, which may result in ferry schedule interruptions and, at times, cancellations. Winds should pick up gradually, generally getting more and more ideal for surfing, windsurfing and of course kite-boarding off Tanjung Resang.

Our lovely location received great grades in the November 2012 edition of
Shape Magazine.
"Standout attractions"
"There's plenty here to satisfy eco-warriors and dare-devil adventurers, as well as the laid-back beach-dweller."

February 2012 - Northeast monsoon losing steam
The Northeast monsoon appears to be losing steam; winds are easing more and the sea is calmer now. That means, since the months of March to October are ideal months for land-based and sea-based summertime recreation, we're on the cusp of a new season of
fun in the sun!
Whatever your poison, best book your slots early, because if Natas 2012 is anything to go by, then this year will be an absolute bumper year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 26th 2011 - It's official, the Northeast monsoon is here!
Note that all sea sports activities at our Tanjung Resang outlet are suspended until further notice. Obviously, this does not apply to hardcore windsurfing, kite-boarding, surfing and skimboarding, which will all be enjoying peak conditions from now on. Also, our accommodations, rooms and camping tents, remain open throughout the coming months.

Malaysia Sea Sports has been invited by
Batu Batu Resort to be part of a three day scuba diving expedition (01-11-11 till 03-11-11) around Pulau Tengah. The objective of this expedition is to survey the as yet largely undiscovered area with
Reef Check Malaysia and
Wild Asia and to document the various coral reef eco-systems and marine life we'll undoubtedly encounter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- From 28-30th October Malaysia Sea Sports will be at Tanjung Leman to experience first hand the Johor Regatta 2011. It promises to be a fun event and a huge boost for windsurfing in Malaysia! We understand that accommodations at Felda Residences and Tunjuk Laut beach resort have been fully booked. However, Tanjung Resang still has some rooms available. By all means
book here if you'd like to book your room. (October 2 2011)
