Off to Tassie for 7 days next week, was wondering where is the best place to kite, how many kiters around down there and any good tips or info.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hey Bowski, I'm off to Tas too & trying to get some local knowledge. There is a website for Tassie kiteboarding - www.kitesurftasmania.com.au.tt but it looks to be NW Tas based. Looks like there is a scene up there. What area are you staying? I'm going to be mainly around Orford on the East Coast. Would be keen to hook up rather than head out alone (still a bit of a newbie).

Apparently!!

Probably hanging around East Coast, Friendly beach area. Just going for a general tour really with the girl, keen to get a couple of kites and hopefully a surf in along the way.

East Coast will be sweet. Friendlies and Denison Beach NE to SE, and Swanwick for the SW. The edge of a high on a hot day will produce a sea breeze over that way if your lucky. Nice part of the world over there.

As for Orford all good down there too, but don't know anyone that kites there. Best to be capable of self launch and land in all of Tassie, and don't go out when it's off shore.. no one will hear you scream.
