Ill be in legian in december so hopefully grab some time on the water .( just told the wife they do lessons there "haha" )can u hire gear out there or should u take ur own.
PS any other boarders there at the same time

Sorry Bruce,
but depend where you go for hire....
At the Bali Kitesurfing School they charge 650.000 rp for half day, about 72 US$ at current exchange rate and you can actually change any kite or board following the wind conditions, once you pay for half day you can use it for as long as you want.
Also as there is no certainty for the wind instead of giving multiple days packages (where you pay wind or not wind!!).
You get a price that is lowering each day.... 650 the first 600 the second till 550 from the third onward...

Just for everyone information... Since the 1 of July I'm not involve anymore with the Bali Kitesurfing School.
I sold it to the local crew of Balinese Kiter that helped me to create it.
Kadek and the Bali rippers are the best.

December could be really windy or really nothing... it goes with luck...
Every year between December and March we get about 3 weeks in a row of good wind up to 20 over knots.... but you never know when this 3 weeks are going to happen!!!! Hurricane in Darwin usually bring good wind....
Bye Jankie

sorry jankie i thought both schools were the same price

in that case i reckon thats a pretty good good deal

some us that just went to bali paid over 200 aus just in excess baggage

i saw their gear and they have a good range and it looks decent

It would be hassle free way of having a kite while your there

Bruce

yes garuda is not much better -

it just depends on the day

Had some of my crew fly malasian and singapore they all got stung for round 200aus

best advise with jetstar is to pre buy some excess 40 aus for 5 extra kilos
