Hi,
I´m from Germany - sorry for my poor English - and I´m new here.
I´m going to visit WA from the beginning of October to the middle of December, coming and leaving from Perth. I want to kite surf the westcost from Gnaraloo to Margaret River. I prefer riding in the waves but I think every day in the water is a good day.
Though it´s my first time in Australia I would be happy to get some tipps or help. I already spoke to some guys who did the same and each of them was stoked about surfing, camping and travelling there.
First of all I´m looking for a car to stay in, e.g. a campervan or a station wagon. Renting for such a long period is so expensive so may be anybody has a cheaper option for me.
I´d also like to meet some kitemates who are in the area at the same time.
So I´m really curious to visit your famous country.
Thank you for any help.
See you on the water.
Arnie
Hi arnie
For kiting you are coming to the right place. I only
Just started kiting at the end of last season but am pretty efficient staying upwind now and just about ready to jump. Just a matter of the wind becoming more consistent now.
Im originally from austria so deutsch ist kein problem aber dein englisch klingt sehr gut.
I don't have a van for you but am keen to go for a kite anytime. Just hit me up when you are here.
I just arrived in Perth a week ago and looking for someone to go kiting with. Im pretty new to the sport but dying to hit the water so I just need some locals who know some nice beginner spots and wanna come with me!!! So if anyone's up for some flat water surfing I'd like to go. Danish btw:)
Arriving in Perth tomorrow to kite till mid-Dec before heading back to the UK. Looking for a room to rent in Safety Bay...if anyone knows of one?
Up for any sort of kiteing adventure...

Welcome to oz guys. please follow the local rules and keep well away from the surf life saving clubs, swimmers etc.
If you followthe rules you will be welcomed with open arms. If not FIFO.
KEEP PERTH'S BEACHES OPEN FOR ALL
hi,
I come from france and i'd like to find a couple of mate to have a road trip in this wonderfull caountry which is australia i'm actualy in perth and I'm up to share a house with kitesurfeur mate or anything like that. There is 7 years that i practice kitesurfing so it'll be a pleasure if you have any question around a beer and by the way it'll be a good stuff to improve my English. Feel free to contact me by seabreeze, i'll be glad to give you my phone number.
Diginoz is right, follow the rules and be safe.
The locals are usually friendly if respect is shown although don't take too kindly to their beach access being threatened by people not following the local rules.
Any questions regarding areas to kite and regulations visit the WAKSA forum through this website and you'll find all you need to know.
Another word of advice, if you see NickT boosting at a remote 30knot reefbreak, ensure you stay upwind of him, he is known to chuck horrendous airs which often last 8-10 seconds rendering the entire area downwind of him as a danger zone.
