me and a mate wanna go on a kite trip. we live in darwin and wanna drive to perth via the coast. just wondering if this is a good idea because i have no idea if there are spots to kite along the northern WA coast. can you kite at places like broom, port headland, karatha, onslow, exmouth, carnarvon, geraldton, and places inbetween?
whens the high season?

would it be better to do the east coast instead maybe?
cheers

northern WA is horrible. I really wouldn't kite there if I was you.



... In all seriousness, everywhere from Exmouth - Perth is packful of options, and if you have a 4WD you'll have the time of your life. Not sure about north of exmouth as I've never kited there, but I hear stories of broome, pt headland and karratha. Try the search function for more info. Take your small kites between Oct and March.

haha crocs dont just walk around on the beach and eat the gear. but there was one that chased someone along it.

orright thanks guys. about the sharks tho..are they really that common to be a worry? neva get sharks up here

Depends if there is wind, and which direction, and on the tides, which spot to kite.
Lots of options really, choose what is best for you.

Do a seach, there are lots of other postings about Exmouth spots.

Wind starts september. Exmouth has many great spots, canarvon has a silky flat water inside the estuary (but a bit dirty after Exmouth!), don't forget flat water at Shark Bay.

Gero has corros, sunsets, hells gates .. then there's Greenhead, Leeman, Cervantes, Jurien Bay, Wedge, Lancelin.

You may just never make it to Perth... (don't be in a hurry, as all the best spots are out of Perth)

Thanks for the info,
another quick question, are skywest good with large bags? i would love to take my 135 but that does not fit in the golf bag and my kite bag is very large. Sorry to high jack the post but i leave early tomo

thanks for the response so far
