spend a month in brazil kitesurfing.you fly to fortaleza, then a taxi(45min) to cumbuco. base yourself there. awesome spot to kite. downwinders from cumbuco to the lagoon(cauipe)are bloody awesome.and thats 7km. then get a group together and organize a downwinder to jeri. the big one. a guide follows you in a 4x4. time it right and you get 20plus knots everyday.they say the season can start as early as may. i was there in late september 2007. and it was still there in december.

Lizard Island looks amazing
where is this???

Easy! Where conditions are perfect. The wind is perfect and it's just you and your mates. And of course a lot of ice cold beer waiting for you when you've had enough kiting.

Well thats a lie
And my mates would agree lol

just gotta beware of the 4 knot no wash speed limit...itha than that its wiked fun man

*Dolphin Beach (Kite Beach), Cape Town, South Africa* the best 20km stretch of perfect coastline for the greatest downwinders!

and then

Woodman's Point

we are flying to Lizard Island monthly!

first trip in April, then Mai ( with andy Yates)....

Peace

Pleased Dolphin Beach, Kite Beach, Sunset Beach in Cape Town got a mention - it's my back yard and my usual venue. Further up the coast are Kamers, the Steens and Hakgat, but the water is cold (full wetsuit) and the wind does not blow every day. Our season is the same as yours which may not help you.

Fortaleza coast in Brazil blows daily in their season, but apparently not much in terms of waves. I've had glassy 6 foot waves with dead steady good cross shore winds and warm water at Le Morne in Mauritius where you have a number of reefs you can pick. The water is glassy because the reef is above the water upwind which keeps the water smoooooth where you ride. That reef is called Manawa: waves can get big there, but there is an even grander ride at OneEye which is the same launch spot near the Indian Resort.

In the end, tho, it depends what you want and who you're with.
