Friend of mine told me that he and a groupe of others regularly kite out to Low isle off the coast of Port Douglas its about 10 nuatical miles from the main land.Apparantly when your out there you a serounded by sooth as clear water to go nuts in. Man I want to be up north now! it sounds so good warm and windy!
Has any else ever kited out to Low before?
Time for a holliday!

Yeah mate its great! Me and 3 other buddies did it 2 years ago. Aparrently first ever. Unforgettable. Probably the best kite mission ive ever had. Its a perfect tack from the bottom of 4 mile with a SE and when you get there (50-60 mins) you have the most traquill reef and glass youve ever seen. Hard on the way back tho. Back leg turns to jelly and a contant upwind trec to make it back. We had a boat with us last time. Bretto from windswell did it with me and he organised the boat so ask him.
When u look out to the horizon and you can just see it. Make sure u have fish and chips and ginger beer b4 you go from that chick at the fish shop with the awesome green eyes.

Brett from Windswell- will take with his boat - you would need 6 to make it viable.....
kite out and get a boat back
I have kited out ther twice and its nice....need to keep clear of the commercial boat trips and snorklers.
This is definitely availble if you come here for kiteweek.
