There's a few good kiting spots around Gero for both you and your girl. No flat water its all a bit choppy, but if your willing to kite in the shore break there's some flat water between swells on beaches north and south of town. Couple good outter reef breaks too.
I have heard theres some jobs going at the cray factory. There's also a few new suburbs popping up so trade work will be easy to find.
Accomodation should be right. Start off at the sunset beach van park or backpackers and look around from there.
See you when you get here. Plenty wind tourists not so many locals kiting here, I think the kids are a bit soft here...appart from sofled and groomy
