There is a comp going on at World Safaris www.worldsurfaris.com/index_kite.asp to win a kitesurfing trip with Ben Wilson living on a catamaran and sailing to perfect kitesurfing locations throughout new cal. https://bne084v.server-secure.com/vs2826_secure/liveSurfaris/surViewSurvey.asp?surCode=5

I had a few mates take this trip last year and said it was the best experience they have ever had. They are now owning me in the surf as they got to ride with arguably the best wave riding kitesurfer in one of the best kitesurfing locations in the world. They are going again next year and have convinced me to get my shyte together to go too. Now its down to saving my arse off and convincing the wife to let me go. Anyway if your strapped for cash go in the comp cause uve gotta be in it to win it

I was on that trip last March and it was the best kitesurfing trip of my life. The wave at ouano has to be one of the best kiting waves close to Aussie and on the cat you have access to dozens of others. If you see the "Unknown Road" this is some of the best footage in the film-shot mostly from a helicopter. The angle of the wind was perfect. We mostly have cross onshore here on the sunny coast and to ride true side / side offshore winds on a 300 meter long reef wave is unreal. You can actually surf the wave properly and it's a hell of a lot easier when the wind direction is right and the wave is so mechanical. You ride essentially the same wave all day long and it gives you the opportunity to progress your riding. can't wait to go back...

okay, Uncle Jon has some pics for you from the trip. see www.panoramio.com/
Some of the images are saved in Google earth so you can check
it out. The view of the reef is insane.

Yes - uncle Jon pulled through on this one, actually he has on both of my last two trips! Anyways New Cal is probably the most consistent wind I've ever had on a trip and two days of it was in perfect 4-6 ft waves at one of the best lefts I have kited. There are heaps of sick flat water locations to play on if the swells not happening - my recommendation is if you get the time off work and your due for a trip, get on it, cause it really is one of the best trips I've done!

How will you win the trip when my starsign says "You will win a trip down the unknown road. Kitesurfing in New Cal, plus you will be really good looking and popular"

I am destined to win.

the New Caledonia section of the Unknown Road is definitely a standout. the heli footage is insane. See that yellow kite every once in awhile in the background...some guy bodydragging across the reef-that'd be me!
