Hi there,

Ok, after a look to differents posts, I would like to know if it s worth it to go to cook town instead of cairns... I would like to kite for the full month of june and more, and if possible, in crystal water :)

I only got a contra bow 14 and a 9 firestorm flexifoil 2005 kite. I need to repair the 14 and I intend to buy maybe a 12 or a 7 depending on the weather i will found there...
Is there any good shop there ? Will be definitively cool if I could hang out with kiters from there to find great deals / good spots.

excuse my poor english, I am french ...

See ya

Sam

Theres no shop/dealer in Cooktown, your not really going to get any crystal clear water on the FNQ coast due to the river discharge, Lizard island($$$) or Green island would offer 'proper' clear water but both have their limitation.

the next best bet would be to be based in Port Douglas, it has a pretty cool local kite scene and the locals can probably hook you up with some of the better spots. email Bretto (windswell.com.au) about buying and/or repairing gear and general info.

cheers

hey if you base your self in port douglas we (locals) do alot of camping trips up to cooktown, weve found a spot kiting that is amazing,(sorry i cant tell you the name of the spot so well call it spot x for now...lol).
we should have a long week end trip planned for early in the month if your interested?
do you have a 4wd ?
