Ok, I know the Perth season is about to start ripping and there's no reason to go anywhere else, but if you could...

I'd love your input on dream spots- places you've been, or heard about, or studied on Google, etc. As we're a wandering yacht, we're contrained by wind, current, and cyclone season, but not much else. The general plan is: Year 1- Caribbean and South Pacific, Year 2- South Pacific and Micronesia (Gilberts, Phoenix, Carolines, Philippines), Year 3- Vietnam, Australasia, Year 4- Indian Ocean (Maldives, Seychelles, Madagascar, E Coast Africa), Year 5 Indian Ocean and Red Sea.

We've sailed much of the South Pacific and Australasia, have some good beta on the Caribbean, and will not give away prize spots, but some general ideas would be highly appreciated! Love to work them into the schedule if at all possible. The expedition is all about finding the unknown, but hitting a dream wave or wild downwinder never hurts!

Perth IS the only good place to kite!

Lets see, you have some great spots that you don't wish to share, but you'd like us to give away our secret spots to you. Hmmmm doesn't seem quite fair now does it

Good winds on your journey,

id say that you need to check out some unexplored territory on the coastline of Africa, start with Mozambique, heading upto Zanzibar.

Totally unexplored wave and butter spots, beatiful part of the world and plenty of wind in the right season....

Although, ive heard that there is also a lot of unexplored territory on the west coast of africa as well, who can argue with 40-50 knot speed trial areas etc.



while youre at it, have a look at Madagascar. Although there has been some kiting/surfing on great reef and point breaks in this area, it is well and truly unexplored as far as 1st world pursuits go.

Don't bother with the gilbert islands to kite. There is NO wind. On the rare occassions when there is, the beaches are all Very tide dependent.

Nice place though, and lovely people
