Hi,

I need help. At the moment I am in Perth. In about 3 weeks I want to fly to the east cost, to learn Kite surfing.

I have already the complete Kite equipement and I had some Lessons as well.

So my question is:

Where is the best spott to stay about 3 months to learn Kite surfing?
Is here perhaps someone how can teach me a bit and can helb me to built up my stuff?

I am thinking about the area Carins or Brisbane, where is the best place to be???

Please contact me if u can help me!!! [email protected]

Mate, on the gold Coast you have more chance of fertilizing a sperm whale or catching a drop bear on video than to get consistant wind at the moment, check further north maybe Bundaberg or Mackay or the croc spots up further. Good luck

Totally agree with you Paulio -- Brisbane is especially not the place at the moment... especially Wello and any bay area... The winds are so unpredictable up and down... Cuz it's May, June, July, the winds will be like that for the next three months...anyway... Isn't Perth 'the' place to go kite surfing all year round... oh well... up2 u where u go... later...

You might as well start looking for a place at Cairns.
I am going there for kiting next month but in anticipation I have been watching the wind charts for Green Island which is off the coast and in the last month the winds have been really consistant. The last week was a bit of a dud but right now it is back up to normal with 25 to 30 knots with the gusts sitting at only 2 to 4 knots over the average. Also with the flat water it is a great place to learn without having to fear big waves. Contact Chris with Kiterite up at YorkeysKnob for the lowdown. Cant wait to get up there myself. They even have a new cable park that just opened for the rare day of low wind. Or you can just go Scuba in the Barrier Reef. Can't beat that.
Check out this weather site for norther conditions and look at Green Island for conditions near Yorkeys.
