Hi
I will be moving to the Gold Coast from liverpool UK in January and will be looking for flat water spots to fly and meet the locals.
Still learning at the moment and will also need some more kit..
I am a 90Kg rider and currently flying a Peter Lynn charger 15mtr but its a slow kite and isnt helping my learning.
Going to pick up an LEI but what are your average winds over there as i will be looking to get just the one kite at the moment.
Something around the 10mtr mark would suit for the UKs 15 to 25knots average
Hey Sploj,
First up:
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-East-Queensland/Where-To-kite-in-SE-QLD-Google-Map/Great source of info here ^^ which is actually at the top left hand corner of the QLD page......
At 90 kegs, I'd be looking around the 11-12 mtr range for the average wind that we get here.
If ur looking at buying kit here, get in touch with the guy's at Surf FX in Southport (no affiliation, just a satisfied regular customer), they will hook u up with all the right info and some quality gear. We have a great local IKO instructor if u need to brush up before hitting the water on ur own.......
Enjoy!!
