Hi everyone, I'm new in Sydney and would like to do some kite during the weekends. Is there any kitesurfer living in the city (I'm in Surry Hills) ? The spots are quite far and without a car I don't really know how to go there... Do you have any plan??

Hi mate, Im in the same situation you are... Im based down in Coogee and its a long f... way to Botany Bay by public transport, so if you should find a ride or wanna split the rental cost on a car some weekends let me know...

Or if any one´s got a car and want a contribution towards the gas plus good (well.. descent at least:) company let me know..

hi! also new in sydney, im living in bondi! I went to botany by bus but it takes too long, so if anybody want to share the ride ( because I dont have a car) let me know!...I can go anywhere in the city so just send me a mail.

If you go to chile in the next years I can give you some advice about the spots!

the other option is that we can meet somewhere and rent a car!

Good winds

Euh.. sorry charlo but I don't remember much of my saturday night but yeah that could be me.
Anyway we had a great session yesterday with Lukas (ATHK), and Bill (abeachsw) at Kurnell. So no doubt this forum is working well!
The more buddies we will have the more kite we'll do.
By the way where do you live Charlo?

Kurnel is a flat spot on Botany Bay, close to Cronulla, we shared a renting car. You'll find great maps of the spots on the site of NSWKBA. And of course you're welcome next time!
See you

Hi Guys, Check out the NSWKBA website and it will tell you all the safest spots in NSW so even if you wish to travel out of Sydney for a kite there are always options.

For cheap and easy car rental close to the city try these guys(From $15 per day-Toyota corolla hatch):

Hey Matias!

I reckon tomorrow might actually be too windy, unless you've got a small kite. I'm thinking of heading down this afternoon. Give me a call 0410701663 if you're up for it.

The only thing is I go to watch footie in Olympic Park on the evening so I wont go back in the city...
Give me a call 0413415892 if you want a lift!

Hello everybody! I've arrived in Sydney now and I am planning to do some kitesurfing this weekend and maybe on friday as well (if there is any wind of course). If any of you guys situated in the city are going out let me know and maybe we can go together. My number is 0405415763. By the way I am staying at the wake up hostel for the moment.

Cheers!

Hi all!
I've got a very good plan for this saturday...
The BSC (a bodyboard association) is doing a big (really big) event in Narabeen with all the bodyboards pro and the big brands there to give some advise and give you boards for testing.. Of course for us it's just a great back up plan if the wind doesn't show up!

Interested?

Hi Everyone.

I'm in Annandale, Syd and looking for kitebuddies. I'm here untill 5th jan -on vacation from Denmark - and ready to kite most everyday. Went a bit down the coast last week and found great spots all along the coast. The next weeks will probably be Botany Bay for me, so hope to hear from any of you...
