I will be Holidaying at Mudjimba from Christmas day for about 2 weeks, and will naturally be taking my kite/s.
I would love to hook up with any of the local crew who might be able to give me the low down on whats hot and whats not in the area, local do's and don't s and generally point me in the right direction to happy kiting.
I also need a recommendation for the local kite doctor. There are none here in PNG and I would like a "field dressing" or two made a bit more permanent if possible.
I'm also wondering if it is worth packing the 7m? What is the likelyhood of getting 23kts+ in that period?
I can always pack it in with the kids gear
Feel free to PM me with info/contacts.
Apologies to the locals in advance as me packing the kites will pretty much guarantee no wind at all for that period. The plus side is that it will likely be nuking a few days before I arrive and for a week after I leave! 
You're in for a treat! Swap the 7 for a 17... What ever ya do, DON'T kite in the flags!!! 
I'll be in Hawaii but some of the crew will be 'round..
Drop in to Mojos Cafe & Sunsine coas Kitesurfing Co @ Cotton tree & ask for Jonno or Lee ,Grab a drink or feed & we'll give you the low down.
there is a good crew that do downwinders at mudjimba - ask for nick or neil
or there is crew of coolum kiters that hang at stumers creek - 1 km north of coolum flags -
both ese crew are surf focussed
if you want twin tip or flat water - go to cotton tree at maroochy river mouth
get a combo of both flat and waves
noosa river mouth can be good - restrictions and guidelines need to be followed - but i would avoid noosa during this period - it will take you 30 mins to drive 150 meters down the main street and you will have trouble with parking
if we get a SE - you may get to use a 7
good luck
Thanks all - looking forward to it. I will keep an eye out for local posts while there.
Our season is pretty much shot here (no wind in monsoon season) and I am hoping to get into some sand and surf kiting rather than the reefy lagoon stuff we have here.
MOJO - do you do/organise kite repairs locally? Naturally I would like to minimise the downtime if possible.
Hi, I live in Mudjimba and will have 2 weeks off over Christmas and the new year and hope to do heaps of kiting. We mainly do down winders in the surf and will gladly give you a lift. As Bruce said, I kite with Nick and Neil most of the time and a fairly big crew from Coolum.
PM me and I'll send you my mobile phone number.
Cheers
Nick
Guys - I have seen the forecast for Sunnie coast and will be packing the 7!!
Nick, PM sent - look forward to catching up.
Goodwinds all for the Christmas break.
good to see ya got some time off over xmas nick.
Paradox, Caloundra rivemouth is a pretty good spot too. like skeggs said STAY AWAY FROM THE FLAGS!!!! once you are upwind within 300metres go 300metres out until you are well down wind of them. Doing the opposite will result in a sacraficial burning of ya kite
Echostorm, I'll vouch for that !!
Last thing we want is the clubbies not to be on our side. Went for a downwinder on Sunday and noticed Taxi and his crew hitching a ride back to Castaways...did'nt make it guys, Well we headed off and pumped the kites all the way to **** beach (that I mean worked it thru the low end....P.S this is not fag talk either) .
Vic dropped his kite and drifted past the flags (Halfway)...100metres from the beach he managed to get back up in the air....again not fag talk !!
Not all that bad of a session on my trusty 16m.
I'm down the coast to kite with my brother (Coolangatta) and to set up the Shea's Xmas Kasbar. this is a tradition where we hitch 2 tents and arranged 4 or so kites to create a arabic tent....camels not included and pass a couple of fresh prawn rolls at the clubbies for their appreciation....
P.P.S nothin against ****...just STEP AWAY from my kite slowly !!!
Guys have a good Xmas...and I'll sent you some of the pics
