Hey,


I’m new here so some short Information about me, my name is Johannes I'm 24 and from Germany.
In November I will begin an internship at the University of Sydney. I will stay for 5 to 6 months in Australia.
The main time I will stay in the area around Sydney and in the last month I will travel around a little bit but I’m not so sure in which direction yet.

Of course I want to bring my kites stuff but because of the weight I can only bring 2 kites :(.

I checked the wind conditions on windfinder but I'm still not sure which kites I should bring.

To selection I have a 10 sqm,13 sqm and 16 sqm kite. I will probably bring my Flydoor board and my weight is about 75-77kg.
So I thought to bring the 10 and the 13 sqm kite but I’m really not sure.

Which kites would you choose or recommend?

Also if anyone knows a place to stay in Sydney for 5 months feel free to tell :)

Cheers Johannes

bring the 10 and 13m kites.The 10m will get used the most. Try and get accommodation near botany bay.

Seabreezes definitely up to 30 in Sydney unless you're on the Northern beaches. Last summer was super blowy and this season looks like it's going to crank.

Guys, just landed in Sydney. Will be around for 3 weeks. Have my 8 and 12 with me - should cover all around...
I see Wed should be windy.
What time does it usually blow at this season? What is the best spot for NE wind? Any sites with realtime and reliable winddata?
Appreciate the help.
