Heirsons cove in an easterly, down near the yacht club for anything with west in it, few crew up there that kite.

pm'd you sum more info and a ctc

yeah just bought bigger straps for my board so I can still wear my steel caps...

Cossack all good, Point Samson a bit rocky.... sill have the scar....

I am in the Karratha/Dampier area and keen to make contact with other kiters. Maybe we could enjoy some kiting together. You can get me on 0419 261 334

I've been up in Karratha for 16 months now. We get regular West to South-westers in Wet season and regular easterlies in the dry season.
So right now we have the easterlies pumping in. The best places are Cossack and Hearson’s cove this time of year. Hearson’s was a bit of fun today.
In the wet season a lot of guys go to Dampier after work. I've found Wickham back beach is the best for the Westerlies.
But if you can convince someone to get you to the islands, it is awesome out there.
Hope this helps.
Flux - Must be a half empty person. True it is no island paradise, but there is still plenty of kiting. Much better than being stuck in an inland mining site. Got to make the most of what you have.

what wind you getting, is hearson next to the gas plant cause that looks nice and flat

Sounding better every time I check in here :)

I will be up there end of June with a Box Trailer full of school equipment Radio helmets and Stand Up Paddleboards for anyone thats interested, or knows anyone who might be keen for some Lessons, Ill be there for a few weeks if I can find somewhere to camp out.....

Any Ideas? Ill be sleeping in the back of my Van.. But I heard the Ranger is pro-active :(

I'll be over that way end of july and two weeks of august will be bringing my kit over from qld so hope I can at least get one kite in and worth the extra baggage charge. Will be around point samson & wickham for two weeks and a week at ningaloo.

I will be around Tikityboo
Up there for a month, Ill have some small kites for sure

I just clicked on this because I need to say that this is a place similar to what it would be like if you lived on mars.
A total sh1t hole of the highest order, anyone that rates this place is a dick.

I just replied on this because you sound like a knob, of the highest order

Mate I don't think stating a fact defines me as being a knob.Do you.

Or does it mean that you in fact rate this place, therefore have some divine sense of protection for the joint?

I have been traveling via there for work some 15 years. I think I know the place and I'm pretty sure last time I looked....Yep a sh1t hole.

If you think the place is anything but what I have described it as then hats off to you, I still think you would class as a bit of a dick if you did rate the joint, no offense.

I was just having a bit of a laugh, there's not much kiting there it's a sh1t climate for it, but anyway feel free to blow hard about the place, unless you've lived in a shoe box all your life?
I can't really see how you would think the place nice but as some of the other guys posted I suppose you have to make the most of what you've got.

The wife and I, kiting and lifestyle up north.

Thanks for sharing the vid I really enjoyed it, lived up that way on the coast (Point Samson) for a few years (before kiting was invented) which kinda makes me a dick as I rate the lifestyle up there as awesome particularly if you love the water, anyway again thanks, you've inspired me to go up again for a visit with some kiting gear

P.S. Anybody know who the sound track is ?
