Ahooi guys.. Im a kiter from Cape Town in South Africa and am
looking at moving to Aus. I dont know Aus's kiting spots etc. Can
someone pls point me in the right direction at finding the sickest area in Aus for kiting with lots of sunshine lots of wind and a chilled out vibe...? Any info will help. Id really appreciate it!

Go hard or go home

Don't think of them as sharks and crocodiles... just think of them as kickers and sliders, provided free by Mother Nature for your enjoyment.

Pull the F'n pin!
We're all part of the food chain... it's just that some days we're not at the top.

not sydney :P it too crowded

Go the East coast it has wind allll year round and no crowds either. I hear the west coast is calm with no swell. Go east fella theres nothing to see in the west

i live on the east coast and have no probs admitting the perth / wa sea breeze is the most consistent, non gusty wind you can get in australia and ive kites almost everywhere else. it's really good in JAn typically but from dec - mar and maybe april even can still be blowing, then it shifts to inland breezes which are inherently gustier
the east coast on the other hand is normally 10 kts lighter and lately has been getting whimpering summertime seabreeses from 8 - 14/16 kts. vs perths average which is abuot 18-23kts, the inland breezes over east are however stronger than the inland breezes over west but are gustier as they are inland. There are good lakes around to ride these winds depending on your location but unless its the " correct direction" it's gusty and the water is usually freezing in the dams in winter
