Well on the way back from exmouth, my wife ( who is going to Europe with some students for two weeks), said in the April holidays why don't you go somewhere for a week to kite as your 40 th present and she will organise the kids to stay with someone.

So....where to go, that would be at least somewhat affordable in April?? Heard Thailand might be okay??

Also heard cairns top end of Australia, surely not right?

Any ideas?

Ps it will be late April.

Vietnam looks promising!

Hey mate, I'm only new to kitesurfing but I'm actually currently in Mui Ne, Vietnam, having a holiday (actually learning to kite tomorrow!) It's got a really cool vibe! Super cheap. $5-$10 US a night for A/C, fridge, good bathroom, comfy bed etc etc. or splash out at the resorts for maybe 20-$30 haha. Meals are max $4-$5 unless you want lobster.

But today there was maybe 30 kites out on the sea and some real good riders! Cool to watch :) I really recommend it.

Cheers

Hey buddy yeh that's the top of the list at the moment. Just need to work out if h
The end of April will be worth it. Will pm ya some time to get more inside info if ya don't mind.

Eppo does your wife have a single sister?

Yeah too easy mate :) had 4 hours learning today with a really cool bloke. Just getting to stand up without supermanning... Hahaha.

That's the other thing around Mui Ne, everyone is super friendly and heaps of kiters. Decent chicks too, but maybe you'll just have to look ;)

Send a PM if you need anything else as I can ask around tomorrow.

Cheers

Dude can you get me a number email of a local kilter even the guy whose teaching you so I can pick his brains. Appreciate it. Hey awesome ya getting up. When ya first start keep some of ya wait back. Better to fall on ya ass keeping the board out in front of you than go over the falls. Get up on the plan then fall back a few times then make that ya safety net. Easier said than done. Glad to see you getting the stoke.

hey epp
think it is towards the end of the season in mui ne March/April. Might get lucky with some days on a big kite, but my 2 cents would be that there are better places. ripper place, but not where i would go for total wind and water focus - vietnam is more of an all round travel experience trip imo

haven't gone over to kiteworld myself, but maybe phillipines would be better wind then, traded off with more pricey, but you could try looking outside the boracay path... also loved some of the flat water vids posted on northern sri lankan footage in the past few months... good luck

Yeh I figured as much. it's like saying come to perth in late Feb/mar, there will be wind but not guaranteed. Hawaii yes is the go, but not sure if it is within the wife's budget. Also only a week pass has been given, so 3K for a plane flight alone for a week...mmmm,
