This is my first post. I have just realized I have a week and a half off between jobs.
I would like to go somewhere either within Australia or close by like maybe Fiji for a kite boarding trip. I have been to most Victorian spots so would like somewhere a little more exotic.
Can anyone recommend a destination. Keep in mind that there bust be good consistent wind and I don't want to fly somewhere that costs $2000+.
Do you wear stinger suits while kiting up therein that time of year? Might be a weird question but I had to wear one last year round that time while diving...

Official stinger season is Nov-May. I have known kiters that have been stung in the middle of stinger season (hand got stung while dragging back to the board). Don't know of any getting stung out of season. Not sure how much this helps you?

Ah ok hmm strange that I had to wear one while diving then. What about aricange and box jellies?
From my knowledge irukandji are both rare and difficult to predict their location, but the general view with most varieties of stingers is that strong, consistent nth winds will bring them down. I e lived around the whitsundays and never touched a stinger suit but the further north the more exposure. Local advice is best though as often there can be localized areas of high/low risk. Some dope flat water up that way. Do it.

If on an organised dive trip I'd say it'd be a public liability thing, I've never worn a suit on the reef.
