Has anyone got recommendations for a holiday destination that's great for kiting and a some other stuff to keep the missus happy , any where but Bali ! Or any other place that smells of ****e
Sardinia, Italy. Great wind in the middle of the year, and if you're kiting, there's plenty to look at scenery wise & other touristic stuff to keep her occupied &/or busy.
If you want to go a bit further afield, Essaouria in Morocco is pretty damn fine also - great kiting & the town is vibrant and got great markets, restaurants.
Hey, I backpacked Europe for 4 months starting June 2013. I found Viganj in Croatia to be amazing! Wind every afternoon from 12-1pm onwards. no sharks or jellyfish in the water as its too salty (epic win there) and super cheap (20kuna is around $2AUD). Hit up Alec at Waterdonkey Kitesurfing and Windsurfing School. They do lessons but also hire out the gear for great prices. There is camping on Viganj and also apartments locally owned that you can book (organised all through Waterdonkey Kite School). There is a 15min water taxi to the local township of Korcula (medieval styled town) which has markets everyday and amazing history.
Definitely worth looking into. Also Ireland was pretty great with the kitesurfing if you don't mine freezing you special parts off, and Barcelona, Spain was pretty intense as well.
Just send me a msg if you want more details.
Cheers Cas.
