I'm heading up to Exmouth on April 12 for a week with the Family ( chasing those whale sharks )
Got a hire car, so we can move about a bit.
Anybody know that area who can advise if there's a chance of kite-able wind?
( seems whenever I take my gear anywhere it's a whole world of hassle lugging my stuff about and then getting 1 afternoon in 15 knots in chop )
Any advice muchly appreciated
Thanks

just what you want for the next few days..20+ sw 
you forgot to mention thats 20 + Km winds
As for whether to bring your gear, I don't think I have ever kited over easter but if you leave your gear at home I might even get out.
Plenty of whalesharks here too

oh yeah sorry!
i thought there was something wierd about it..cant remember any wind these mnths hardly at all
thanx
^^ what he said ^^ , I dont get it , why would you be unraveling the lines with the kite in the water unless you were doing a boat launch ( even then not like that ) ? , recipe for disaster with all those hard objects on the beach :)
thankfully it wasnt me! just youtubed exmouth kitesurfing and found it!
i am still learning so it is invaluable to see this sort of thing as it shows that complacency is one of the great dangers of the sport
I wouldn't say complacency was the problem here.
i lost count the number of wrong/stupid/weird things this guy does.
Don't worry thats Exmouth in the UK, Weather is better in WA.
I was there a few years back in June (Not April I know), Plenty of Whale sharks, Turtles, Rays and other sharks in and around the reefs but no one kiteboarding at all around the reef areas. The only kiter I saw was me having a lesson out in the gulf area on the East side.
