Hi,

I am Pedro from Spain, I am travelling to Cairns on 20th March, I know that is end of the season, but there is still some wind to kite with 10 or 7 meters kite? Where? up to North I know there is more wind but more crocs too... and I am not going to kite in unsafety crocs beaches ....

Thanks
Pedro.

Hola. Como estas?

Crocrodiles are not your main concern. It's the stingers, so please have a full-size stinger suit. However, the stingers are supposed to leave by end of March/April, but ask locals to see if they've seen any. We've had a lot of Northerly winds so hopefully most have been blown south of Mackay, but I doubt it!

Hola! Thank you both,

So good to know full-size suit, which one is typical bluebottle?
About crocs.... where I can find information about beaches? I am going to rent a car and drive myself from Cairns to Cooktown and then to the South!

What this means? Are winds moving from North to South?

we have these ****ing incredible stingers called irakanji! these mother ****ers are so horrendously bad one of the side effects of being hit by one is that "you have an overwhelming sense of doom and that you are about to die" seriously google them till you know everything about them.

might just save your life

One unusual symptom associated with the syndrome is a feeling of "impending doom".[13]Patients have been reported as being so certain they are going to die, they beg their doctors to kill them to get it over with.

I don't know how you kite there... here winds are crazy but there is full of ****ing harmful animals! thank you for your advice!

Yeah but it's not that bad. I've yet to see a stinger or a shark whilst kiting in Townsville, since 2012. This place is magical. Plenty of wind, flat water, some waves for fun and great down-winders from Magnetic Island to the mainland or back. And that's just Townsville. All over North QLD there are amazing places to kite surf and explore, island hop, etc. And if you really want to avoid any dangers near the shore, head out on a boat to the outer reefs and kite surf sand islands with crystal clear water and plenty of fish and snorkeling as well.
You can't beat North QLD for a kite trip mate.
You'll love it. And you're coming in a good time. The rainy season is almost over.
Enjoy

cause all the ****ing dangerous animals in townsville are across the river and next to that god forsaken ****ing aboriginal hostel thats only a block away from the youth hostel i stay at. **** even i started heading down alternative streets and i lived in arukun for a stint

but seriously, shipping scatters the sealife. no surprise there

oh and townsville is a ****hole, best thing that ever happened to it was the bypass highway


oh and incase youse are all wondering whats up with padre lofty over here hes a bit brown i stumbled apon his facebook once. :) .....whatd that mexican girl teach me half an hour ago.... ce cumbuduo or some ****? how do you say excuse me lofty?

LOL

You had a Mexican girl teach you something? Wow man. Obviously not paying attention.

Perdoname Lofty = Excuse me Lofty

What she should have taught you is: Ese Lofty es muy dije, y tiene un cuerpo muy guapo!

I'll let you get the translation from her.

I once had an old friend that wanted to impress a Mexican girl out on a date. She was a stunning woman I must say. I taught him to say this ...

"Tu eres linda y muy mariviosa. Yo no quiero estar con nadien mas, pero usted. Su sonrisa y su pello me vuelve loco, y te quiero mucho..."

Don't Google translate it. Just say that line to her and well... you'll be blessed - put it that way.


ps. Townsville is not a **** hole. Only an a bogan without hope would say that, or about any place. You're not a bogan I am sure... right?

Ahoy! I want to do some boat trip! I was planning to go from Cairns to North, Port Douglas up to Cooktown, and after go to South, mission beach down to Townsville!

So loftywinds good to see you if you are there! Do you someone who organize kite boat trip? I think it is not like Philipiness where you rent a small boat everywhere and it was cheap!

Which sizes of kites are you using during this season? Next I week I'll be there!
