Hi all,

Would anyone know if there is a travel insurance available on the market willing to insure my kiting gear? I spoke with Direct travel and they only cover 750, which is completely BS….where can you get gear with 750? I am going to Europe, Itally, Amsterdam and Bulgaria. In case it gets stolen or damaged, I want it cover.

Please let me know.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi

I was on the beach with camera - Ramsgate to Monterey on Easter Friday afternoon. I chatted to a few of the riders about images, which are now being loaded into www.bigguyphotos.com

Am looking for feedback please on the images. Image attached is one of a number of different series. First time in a LONG while I have photographed this sport.

I'm new in Sydney (less than a month) and even newbier in kitesurfing (1,5h last Monday) :)
It was just an initiation, on the beach, with powerkite (a deal from groupon...) went very well..
BUT it definitively gave me the obession of learning "real" kitesurfing.. as soon as possible !!
I've already have good notion of wakeboarding, and sailing.
Some french friends of mine already have a gooood level of kitesurfing, so I don't want to bother them with too beginner questions, and I do want to learn the basics from a good school..
SO, i've read a lot of stuff about kitesurfing, mostly on this forum, and it came from time to time about good kitesurfing schools and "bad" ones..

Would you have any recommandation about any kitesurfing school on Sydney (I still have only a bike, and my feet of course...) so I guess it would be in botany bay ?
I don't work during week (still in holidays, enjoying summer) so I'm pretty free and motivated.

I've checked on google and foun...]]> Mikedobee http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/New-South-Wales/Another-bloody-awesome-location-for-Kiting-down-S/?page=-2?src=rss#0 New South Wales / NSWKBA Tue, 10 Apr 2012 09:24:50 +0800 http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/New-South-Wales/Another-bloody-awesome-location-for-Kiting-down-S/?page=-2?src=rss#0
If you ever thinking of a great place for a holiday where you can kite and have a great time for sure, Tuross Head could definitely be a location to consider.

It has great surf, if you like wave riding (I meant huge surf), Lake Coila with flat water (for S-E, N-E) and plenty of wind. I couldn't believe it, windy from Thursday all the way to Monday last night was somewhere between 15 and 30 knots. S-E first and N-E the next couple of days.

Also the accommodation was incredibly good value (100 AUD per person for the whole long weekend).

If you like fishing, the lake is awesome for that. We caught brim, flander, flathead, silverline (I think it's called).

Thinking about it, I LOVE THIS COUNTRY. So many amazing places.

Cheers,
Mike

i enjoy riding waves, and don't own a twin tip so i go to the beach with waves, soley to ride them. and i stay away from the freestyle spots.

why do people, with little to know knowledge of the wave riding rules go out kiting in waves?
isn't botany better for big airs and trickery???

i then proceeded to try and stay upwind and away from them, (i was actually feeling a little uncomfortable and in danger)
but they seemed to follow me. i ended up going in and went surfing up the beach.

i was just a waste of a good sesh because of people riding in a way not suited for what they wanted.

please explain???

I'm coming to Australia from the other side of the world, and will be on vacation next weekend in Canberra-Sydney-Wollongong area for about 4 days, and looking for some information and partners for kiting.
I only ride a surfboard, and my quiver is 6/8/10. What are the chances I'll use my 6m?
Do I need a wet suit, or will a spring suit/thermal work?
Where's the best place for kiting on waves in this area (couldn't care less for freestyle... :-))
Anyone would want to team up for some sessions, providing the wind will blow?

A Big Thanks to the Kiter who found my spreader bar and leash and attached it to the pole at the first groin on Saturday afternoon!

I'd been kiting there and went to the assistance of a downed kiter who was tangled up and being blown kite first in to the rocks. In my rush I quickly released from my kite, released my spreader bar so I could make it out on to the groin in time to save his kite. after spending the next 30 mins helping him out of the mess of tangled lines and deflated kite. I packed up my gear for the day, completely missing my bar and leash.

So after arriving back there the next day, all pumped to get out in the 25knot S.Easter, I had my Kite pumped up ready to go, only to realize - No Bar!
What a relief to find it wrapped around the pole!
Cheers again

I have seen a few guys at Wamberal Beach but unfortunately I haven't had time to talk to them.

It would be awesome to get to know you guys out there and get a few pointers where to go in different wind directions, if I want waves/flat water and so on.
