I was there recently and was hoping for a trip to green island where there are always winds...or so it seems.

I discovered that you need to time high tides with the trip as if you get this wrong there is no water....or at least that is what i was told.
As for anything else well i ended up not going as the tides were all crap during my stay.

Some of the local spots like Yorkeys or Port Douglas whilst not spectacular are indeed fun and a nice way to spend an afternoon....if its windy....or head up the coast to cooktown...which rocks.

Give Bruce or Roy a call at It's Extreme and they can help you out. I went out on Sunday with the Extreme crew to Vlassof Cay (not far from Green Island). Had a great day exept the wind was only around 15 knots, but absolutely sensational spot to ride tucked in behind the cay, clear flat water. You can ride the cays (Upolo and Vlassof) in just about any tide unlike Green Island which needs a highish tide. I will try to put some photo's in the gallery (yet to try) of thetrip to Vlassof.

Cheers

The problem this weekend is it looks like the wind will be too strong.

Trip is with Great Adventures to Green Island. Just need to be aware of the tides but is great to kite when conditions permit.
Green currently has 30 knots gusting to 35 at the moment.

$60 is what they charge the tourists, locals get it cheaper.

Call Bruce or Roy at It's Extreme and they can help you out as well.
