Hello guys,
I am french
i have already been in australia and i have loved it.
So next year i want to get back there for 6 months or 8. My travel would start in January 2011.
I want to learn English there but i don't know where to go, i want to choose the location where i will be able to find the best wind condition ever.
During this period where should i go?
Two years ago,i was in Brisbane between June and September, the wind was not very good, it was good enought when i travelled to the north.
So let s give me your opinion.
Thanks i hope my english isn t too bad

Depends on the time of year. If you come here during the european summer, then QLD is probably the best, if you come here during the european winter, then WA.

Definitely. Perth has the most wind at that time. Make sure you bring a small kite.

You guys obviously havent experienced a summer in Perth full of show pony euros hogging your local and desrespecting all the rules then leave at the end of season. Nice post Dusta im with you mate.

But yeah definately more than welcome if your a freindly bloke looking for good conditions. Just keep it real.

lol wut ?


Where bouts do you kite at ? no doubt not at a spot that gets crowded with wicked camper vans over summer or a spot where you offer assistance and get told to get ****ed in a euro accent .

Probably the funniest moment was last summer at melville suggesting a guy walk his kite back up the beach away from the trees , only to get laughed at and 30 seconds later his kite is up a pine tree .

I seriously doubt if anyone at Woodies would have given him a second relaunch

Hey Dusta, how about taking a second to imagine how it might feel if you were posting this kind of question in a forum abroad somewhere you were hoping to visit - and got that kind of redneck, local tosser response.... Grow up.

Jerome78, you will get great conditions in Perth in January and Feb especially. Enjoy.

well i guess if more visitors were considerate to local spots then there might not be so much hostility but then again i guess woodies doesn't see as many camper vans and generally negative attitudes as safety bay etc due to the high crime rate in the carparks . Maybe the wicked camper vans should live in the woodies carparks as bad as they do at safety bay

Stop telling people to come to WA! Our beaches are packed because of posts like this. Its mostly euros causing the greif giving kiting a bad name. If they want a holiday go up north or down south just get out of the city.

You two must have gone to 'special' school together. Sorry to burst your intelligence bubble Stinky but up North and down South are still WA. And if you ever go up North or down South, I hope they give you the same warm welcome you're giving ole mate Jerome. I can only gather you've never travelled further than your own back yard with your idiotic attitude to travellers. Just so you know, there's a whole world out there outside of this forum and I'd say that there's a fair chance that one or two travellers might just hear of Perth as a kiting destination even if I dont tell them to come to 'WA". Unbelievable.

Whatever. For your interest my Avatar was taken in Orlando. Have also been to Minnesota, Alabama, LA, Hong Kong, Bali, London, Scotland all of western Europe including Jeromes country, New Zealand twice and every capital in Aus but Adelaide. Not one of these places even compares to Perths laid back feel and fantastic weather. Seriously Stevo not all countrys are inviting as ours and i love culture. I said in a previous post that all are welcome for sure just keep it real and have a great time.

stevo stevo if you are going to attack someone then learn how to use the quote button , it's all done for ya buddy , Heck even a monkey could use a quote button on a forum without any problems yet you seem to have had issues ?

I take it you are probably a euro by the way you have been getting all wound up about our "idiotic" attitude to travellers ?

Oh dear, I guess you better come to the east coast Jerome. WA is awesome but weve got just as much water and goodtimes over here as well. Gold coast has 42 kms of sundrenched wavy goodness as well as some nice stretches of flat water if thats your thing.(did i mention some kick arse point breaks?)
You seem pretty cool, im sure the locals(if there is such a thing!) on the G.C will help ya out...
P.M me bro if you need any more info...
Kite happy.....
p.s nice one to all the non haters...

hey dave..... that vid was great. who filmed it? i have to say i've encountered a few aussies as bad as that, but generally i intervene rather than film. i did get some perverse entertainment from watching it in the safety of my own home, knowing that it was at a beach far far away.

i'm looking forward to summer. i'm not looking forward to having to deal with tools at the beach.

No Dusta, I'm definately not a Euro but I have travelled a lot, and was never much of a fan of ugly localism. It's just about putting the shoe on the other foot I guess. All the negativity on this forum just gets on my tits I spose because kiting makes me feel anything but negative.

Hi guys, thanks for your answers, don't worry dusta, i am used to respect rules and priorities on the water. In France there are a lot of restrictions in some places and i feel bad when i see guys who don t respect rules because people fight for the right of kitesurfing and a minority of guys destroy it.

I really enjoy to come back in Australie, i have already been in Queensland and it was awsome but not enought long. People were greatful and open minded.

I hope to come in Perth. I will inform you when i come, and i hope that i will be able to meet some of you to discover the country. I want to stay 6month or more.

Thanks all and good kite.

I really need to improve my english

hey jerome

see you in WA ....there's some places where the locals don't think they own the spot.

Your english is way better than my french.

Hope to see you around. We have a few frenchies that blow in for the summer. We try to set up road trips and downwinders
