I am coming to Australia on the 4th of December, first 3 weeks around Melbourne and then 3 weeks around Perth and further south. Can anyone tell me what are the best spots? And my second question is do I need to bring my both kites? (asking because British Airways and Qantas are not very flexible on bringing surfing material, so it will have to be part of my total bagage = 23kg). I have a flexifoil Ion2 6m² and 10,5 m².

I'd bring both, Just pay the excess, or perhaps take your 6m as hand lugagge. You'll be disappointed if you bring the wrong kite. The wind mainly ranges from 10 to 25 knots in WA during the summer months if that helps. In regards to spots to kite, that will all depend on if you have wheels or not. Call into local shops and ask once your here, that way they can advise you if there's any local rules to abide to as well. Hope you have a nice trip

To many variables to calculate.

As Blaster said we should have winds up into +-25kn. I think most of the spots are well documented on the net by now. Weather should be nice and hot by then as well.

It depends on if you like your water flat or in waves. We cater for both.

Sell them both before you come out and buy new ones from us when you get to Melbourne where we are your lovable Flexi dealers!
Then you will get all the 10% GST back on your purchase when you leave the country and pay less than you would in Europe anyway.

How much was it for your 2 ion 2s in Belguim? I'll bet they are way cheaper here.

Cheers
