Hola!
Hey I'll move over to Perth from Germany next October!
Could someone please summarize shortly, which conditions will expect me there?
Flat water spots? (hopefully never did waves before!) best wind months, best kite shops?
And how expensive are apartments in Perth or Margeret River on the average?

Would be very grateful for any info!
Hasta luego!

Im only a kid but i can help you with some of your questions lol

In the kiting season(September to March ish) we get out easterlys in the morning(Offshore).Then we get out afternoon seabreeze that can range from 15knts-30knots but 30 knot days are rare, usually 20knots every day.
The most common spot for flat water is called Woodmans point (woodies)
We have many kite shops around perth depends what kite you fly for which shops you call good.

Hey Anja

If you kite at woodies, do not kite the offshore side unless you are competent at self rescue or thinking of visitng Africa

Write youre name & contact number on your board at the shop when you get it !!!

Make sure you ask the locals what the general rules are for that beach & just watch a little while too you'll see a general pattern.

Euros have got a really bad rep' here for doing idot things and you'll cop an earfull if youre one of them - lets hope not & youll make some great friends here

Cheers

On the rent side of things check:

www.realestate.com.au

Follow the prompts to WA and you can find available rentals with prices to give you an idea of what to expect.

If you are looking to rent a room in a sharehouse:

http://perth.gumtree.com.au/

is a good start.

Good luck!

Well I should better write number and name on myself instead of on the board!
If you see a Euro-girl drifting away from the coast I was not able to hold back doing idiot things

But I'll try to behave...

Cool, well see you on the water!
