I am travelling to Australia to kitesurf. I will be there by November 12th. I will be there for 10 days. I need help in where will be the best place to go to kitesurf during this time. I am an experienced kitesurfer and travelling by myself. Please help!!! I have no idea where to go!!! I need advice also in term of accomodations close by and places to rent gear. I would be interested in joining a kite tour, downwinders or anything.
I will appreciate if someone can give me some advice.
Thanks
I havent purchase the ticket. So it could be any city with an international airport.
Where can I get the best wind? with no sharks please jeje! Should I fly to Perth? or Sydney? please help
If you're coming here specificly to kitesurf you can't beat Western Australia. If you've got other ideas head 5000 km east and try the Sunshine coast in Queensland. It's a big country. (Sharks are everywhere)
Fly to Perth.
Then get out of there as quick as you can 
Head for Geraldton. This uncrowded place goes off. It has almost 10 knots more wind and 90 - 100 days of more windy days than Perth per year. (EB checked the calendar and recons he kited over 200days last year)
Dunno about renting gear. I have rented to some people and found it actually cost me money looking at the miserable state of the returned gear.
Enjoy your trip where ever you go.
Thanks a lot for the replies! I think I will probably fly to Perth then. Why should I get out of Perth?? Not good spots there? Is there any other adventure type activities to do there?, on the no wind days?
You could play catch a car thief or count the traffic lights.
Just kidding Perth is a terrific place.
Great video! I think I should follow your advise of getting out of Perth as soon as I get there :) I hope there are some natural parks, around the area. Please let me know if you know somebody or group for kitesurfing that I could hook while staying there.
Thanks for the information.
hi mate dont listen to the shark stories.The crocs keep the sharks away from the shallow spots where you kite.And they are easy to see.But very quick.We hardly lose life here. Only occasionally.You will be safe.
Hey don't listen to these locals they are only trying to scare you. The only thing you have to worry about is the highly venomous box jelly fish, just keep your eye out if you need to tack upwind to get your board... that's the only real danger, oh just watch out for the sea snakes, but honestly if you keep an eye out you will be right.
Yeh sure you do see a number of sharks etc, but they are so well fed the chances of being lunch are slim. The trick is not to fall in the water too much and if you do, don't splash around too much, if anything the only thing that might bite you is a territorial seal (they are kind of like dogs of the sea), but as long as it's not mating season, you should be right.
Ask NJ Pornstar what to do if there is no wind in Gero, ......leave all sharp objects at home
If there is no wind in Gero.......
we go surfing
or
take the dogs for a swim
or
Go 4x4 up the dunes
or
we go spear fishing
or
we go to the pub
or
we relax in town and sip on affogatos and enjoy the wonderful ambiance
If its night time we
go to the pub see a band
or
go to the movies
or
shoot a skippy
or
go to queens park theater for culturizing
or
go to a seedy night club
or
Try sleep cause something will be on tomorrow for sure!
What do you guys do in the city? Where are you Ray? Joondalup?
well thank god for DOME I think the whole town gathers there by 10 am and the main street is deserted.
Hey! don't knock Joondalup, we have 350m of official kitesurfing beach now
Go to the eastern states the people are friendlier the waters warmer and its not a desert like Gero. N8s talking it up because hes lonley. The place has no decent waves and the daytime temp in November is always hot as hell. Not a nice place to be when it gets hot. If your looking for things to do when its not windy then I hope you enjoy catching flies in your mouth and eyes, theres millions of the little bastards
Latlong,
Flys don't hang around me.
The little buggers are actually- bush air conditioners.
Anyway Geraldton isn't bush, its a "City" now cause we have Dome!
The eastern states, yeh right! More rats in a cage, hey why don't you hit the gold coast and brush up on your Japanese.
If he's here to for wind, then gero is it! What do you mean what do you do when their is no wind. No wind and Gero is an oxymoron, the two don't go together, it blows and blows and blows...
getting a good laugh of this thread.
gotta love euros, west aussies and the way we comunicate
Hey don't be afraid of the sharks, they eat the stingrays. You have to watch out for those bloody stingrays, they are the real killers!
You know your safe from stingrays when theres a shark around.
Dont believe me........Steve Irwin wasn't afraid of no crocks or sharks, and guess what got him!
Really the water is the safest place to be, having the 8 out 10 of the most venemous snakes in the world, not to mention the funnel web and red back, oh yeh the white tip spider also - mate If I was you,get off the plane and get in the water, at least you have half a chance with the sharks, stingrays, box jelly fish, crocs, dog biting seals... yeh get off land asap!
nah seriously, go to seabreeze.com.au and just have a look at the wind graph forecast for the next week and you will understand why WA is visited from all over the world for not only wind, but clean wind in warm conditions.
Thanks for all the information! I think I will be staying in Sydney. Which are the best places to kitesurf around Sydney or in the East Coast? :)
