Hi People.

I have a boat organised for the 1st week of November, 8 nights. Travelling from Lae to Port Moresby. The trip is at cost to fill an empty leg for the charter boat. AU$200 ea per night. The boat is very plush and the food top notch. We need min of 4 people to make it happen

The trip has been organised by local kiters to check out some spots we think have some potential. Flat water and surf. As we get around Milne Bay province and start to head back towards Port Moresby there is an opportunity to do a 3 day down winder, outer reef surf the whole way. Experienced kiters only please

November is the end of our windy season. So we expect to have our usual SE trade winds blowing. (15-20knots). If the wind drops off we are on one of the best dive live-aboard in the Pacific amongst some of the most amazing dive sites in the world , so your day wont be wasted. Plenty of deep sea fishing too if you are keen.

i have some pics in the kite gallery to show you what kiting is like in port moresby. a quick search on port moresby or my name will find them.

There is also an amazing cultural show on in Lae the last weekend of Oct. great opportunity to see the local dance and dress before heading out to explore the coastline.

PM me if you are interested. happy to answer any Q's in the forum too.

Hi Padi

yeah we learnt how to kitesurf from a rubber duck, we had to teach ourselves to kite so we went out into the middle of the ocean to learn. So we have a lot of experience with this method of launching and recovery.

For the trip i expect it will be a mix of boat and beach launches as well as landings. we have a pretty good system in place, but next time i am south i might drop by and have a chat see how our system compares to yours. Always keen to refine the process and make it as pain free and safe as possible. We have never used the Turbo launcher, i have considered it and watched the video on your site before. If the trip proves to become a regular event we may have to take one for a demo.

That sounds like the coolest trip, so jealous of anyone who gets to go have an awesome time.
