perth is a real nice city and we love to be here. but we are in real trouble, cause we cant find any accomodation. now we know that we were stupid that we hadnt booked sth. before we arrived. but now we are here and everything is overbooked.. dont know where to stay.. actually we wanted to go kitesurfing but now we are just looking for a roof.. would be nice if two get sth. four would be perfect. so if you know where to stay and help some young guys give us a call. 04221 52478

thank you so much..

Get a large tent and camp its your best and cheapest bet. Good luck

These guys have a big problem.
www.wotif.com.au shows that everything is sold till the middle of the week or later caravan pks included.

Swan valley is a very very very long way to any beach.
Buying the tents easy but have you ever tried camping out of a suitcase? What about the rest of the essentials.... expensive unless you can reuse.

Try Woodman Point Holiday park www.aspenparks.com.au its a kiting beach and has a variety of accomodation. (includes tent sites maybe sci has a camping gear to lend )

How long are you in Perth for?

Good luck

i just spent the last 7 months kiting round oz with a suitcase and a tent. yes i do know how EASY it is. swan valley is ages from the beach but if they are as desperate as the have said it worth it dont you think???
besides what about trying places like bunbury. its a 20 buck bus trip and i garuntee there are sites down there which are easy walking distance to the beach.

go to lancelin, gero.....

its not that difficult. Better wind, better conditions.

why travel half way around the world and then kite ****ty perth when some of the best locations are a few clicks away.

Wow... I love the picture they painted for perth. that is going to be great for our kiting tourism... maybe if they had used their brains the experience would have been a whole lot better... i think thier blog should be about how stupid it was to think they would get a royal welcome from a bunch of Australians who have never heard of them. hmmmmmm

hey mates..

thank you so much for you help.. as you can read (on our websites) we have found sth, for the next week..

btw: we had a royal welcome and people are very kind to us. no matter if they have heard sth. of us or not. and we dont care, if we are pro-kiteboarders or not.. we are here as every other people just wanna do some vacation and training.

maybe we'll meet at kitestock or somewhere arround perth..
cheers

Sorry boys, the real problem is February is looking HOT and short of wind. But December and January were great. Next time, come earlier if you can.
