Pack nothing but boards.
The waves should be that good you won't want to be kiting in your off sessions!

Having said that I have no idea if there is kite-able wind there!

The waves and conditions are usually so perfect Chronic forget the kite.

However they do get lows and the wind can blow from the North strong for days, but usually August Sept I think.

But good luck trying to get the skipper to take you to the onshore spots.

Perfect waves are for surfing Chronic, the rest are for kiting.

Well said Glen.
One of the things that makes that region so nice surf wise is the usual lack of wind.

indo has got to have some super windy places being so big. I heard of somewhere with a kind of maui setup wind funnel effect, no waves - but hot and windy.

well thanks for that - last time i went on a surf trip it pumped wind and swell and i had no kite
- so i'm packing my 9m plus 3 boards
cause if i don't it'll blow its guts out. and by doing so it won't blow and i'll get waves
- packing bulk baked beans so i can blow my guts too so that kind of guarantees wind
