I'm from Hobart, but left way before kiting started.

Was just down last week and one of my mates is into it. He reckons there's a round 12 kiters in Hobart.

Not sure about Launy at all, but I imagine there would be even less.

Tell your bro to stay in Perth and study long distance.

Geez, great help aren't I.

just curious what are the water temps and air temps like?

(remember we do get 20+ knots in boardies most days for a usual summer )

Lisa Hickman is a kiter living in Tassie....she joined us in Fiji last year on an organised tour through Ral Innovatinos from Geelong, their Instructor brought a group from all over and we kited in heaven.

I caught up with Lisa in January (Sydney) and she was also raving about the kiting in Tassie but also desperately wanted crew to hang out with...

Get in touch with them and he would forward contact details i'm sure...she is great fun and a cool kiter!

Hi there
tell your brother to go in to Planet Surf and talk to Al Cook who is a friend of mine. Als a windsurfer and does sell kites but is not into it but does really know the North Tas scene.
I'm in Melbourne so nothing to gain but Als your man to talk to as he knows everybody in the water
