Coming over to Oz in Oct, and can only bring 1 kite with me, due to crapy airline 20kg rule. How good is seabreeze forcast? or is there a better one to look at. Last time I brought a 12m lift and needed a 14m, Bummer. Or is there somewhere near Noosa that hire's kit? Dont mind if I have to travel a bit south if anywhere down toward Brissie that hire's kit.

It's close enough. It has a bad habit of forecasting wind when you can't get out though...

Yeah .. try Fiona & George at Adventure Sports in Noosa .. www.kitesurfaustralia.com.au/

As good as any, bom is also worth checking. From my experience i've found the bom predicts a bit higher than what we normally get in nsw, and seabreeze seems to get it right more often than the bom.

They're just predictions though

IMO, the BOM is always 5-7 knots over what the seabreeze graphs predict.

15 knots on seabreeze is a very solid 15 knots from my experience.

nah seabreeze isn't as accurate down in Melbourne as BOM is seabreeze's outlook for the week is mostly wrong.

Join the airline's frequent flyer program and get 32kgs? Should cover the extra kite :D
