Hello!
I am moving to carins in may (staying at gilligan's hostel) I have looked into kiteboarding at yorkey's knob. I am a complete beginner, i am wondering if it's it a good spot to learn? Or are there other beaches around?
Also, if anyone with a car would be interested in sharing a ride with me when you go since i don't have a car, i would help you with gas of course

hi kim you can catch a bus . bus stops with in 100 meters of rigging area . yorkies is the place to kite in cairns fairly beginner friendly just don`t kite infront of the resedent potographer it can get very crowded .[}:)]
resident photographer here. can get a little crowded in front of me except when you guys go up the creek. not very good shots up there :o)
Check out Chris Rose from Kite Right at Yorkeys for friendly professional assistance, lessons and gear or Brett Wright from Windswell in Port Douglas for the same services.
Hope you enjoy your stay in our beautiful tropical playground.
