Hi all my girl friend has booked us a holiday to the cocos island mid late july. Pretty excited herd great things about the kitesurfing, fishing, diving
looking for any advice on gear to take we kitesurf. things to do general advice or even a story 
thanks Ian
depends on your weight but 10 for me was perfect most days expect more wind than u can handle sick left handed surf and cheap as sh**t alcohol ;)
Definitely take booties. Lots of coral, razor sharp and any cuts are immediately infected. The sand is also crushed coral so any wipeout will result in grazes. Take iodine antiseptic and use it ASAP. I saw a guy get a minor graze on his leg and neglect it for 2 days, he ended up with a major infection and couldn't kite for 5 days after.
Great fishing , diving, spear fishing , island hopping, good waves at a few spots, imo the Kiting was good but not epic, if you like flat to small chop then fine personally I missed the waves
My wind record measured in kt at kite beach August 2012.
2012 was a very good year.
Don't expect 20 -30 kt every day. Just won't happen.
For kites it's all about flat water.
There are some waves to surf, not to kite
Are there Airlines flying out of Melbourne? Couldnt find anything at all.
Thanks for your help
