Hey guys and girls! I am over from the UK for atleast a year and looking to meet some of ''my kind of people'' i have been kitesurfing for the past year and kite landboarding / buggying for the last 5 years! Unfortunately i had to leave all of my kites and boards behind so any direction into buying some decent new bits would be cool. Where are the best places to go, and would anyone PM me contact details or anything for the next meet ups. I have ordered my wetsuit etc, just need a 12m and a board then im away! Looking forward to meeting you guys and living the dream! Ps - i live in cannington SOR at the moment. Dan

geeez Dan... not much advise coming your way ..

re gear .. the closest shops to u are Kite Addiction in Myaree and SOS in Freo . Both have a pretty good range of new and 2nd hand gear. Also check the buy and sell section on seabreeze and gumtree.com.au

I live south of river as well .. main spots are Applecross on SW , Point Walter on Easterly , NE and NW. Also Leightons for an ocean bash . Also 40mins drive down to Safety Bay works on SW. hope this helps ..

Hey Dan,
Unless you weigh way over 100kg, 12m will b too big for you here. Look for a 9m and a 7m!
It is nothing like the uk, once the sea breeze starts it blows!!!
Have fun.

Not sure yet, got some tips, maybe Walters point or Woodmans point, but as I'm new to the area I'd better check a few spots!

Hi Dan...

Heres another dutchy, have been travelling around australia since jan and just arrived in Augusta and will be heading to Perth soon. We be great to have some good session, also Steven, will send a pm.

Dan I got some extra gear with me which is for sale; naish torch 2011 8 and 12m with 2 bars, could come with a underground FLX board 134 model 2012 or 2013!
Let me know when interested.

Does anyone know where to go the coming days, today was way to crazy to go on the water 48kn gusts at Leeuwin..
Checked out Yallingup, Prevelly and Blackwood.
Would say Yallingup or Prevelly and for the weekend blackwood. Thanks all..
