neilmac1210 Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 I'm heading out to Australia round about Xmas time for a year, and was wondering if anyone knew of any places in particular over there where kiting in its various forms is done. I'd especially like to try out kite-surfing, so if anyone could tell me of any decent schools there where I could get a few lessons it'd be much appreciated. Quote
rasga Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 Just a tip, australia is bloody big, fancy narrowing down to the state or area you are going to be at? Quote
neilmac1210 Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Posted November 6, 2003 I'm gonna be travelling, so it matters not where it is, I'll go there. Planning on seeing as much of the country as possible, so any excuse to go somewhere new will be welcomed. Quote
rasga Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 Well kite shops there is a kitesurf one in perth, WA, (think its near scarborough beach. . .might be totally wrong there) Then KitePower.com.au Who have a shop in san soucci, Sydney; and also one in Geelong (near melbourne) Also a kite shop in adelaide i think, though i never did see it, and dont know if they do Ksurf tuition You can hire boards in the kitepower store (ATB's) and i beleive that both stores do ktiesurf tuition, though check that out with steve and goshen.

neilmac1210 Posted November 6, 2003 Author Report Posted November 6, 2003 Just been on the kitepower.com.au and they do some good lessons for a decent price. And it's in Sydney which is where I'm going first anyway, so thats my Xmas planned. Cheers for that Rasga, very useful. Quote

The place is called 'The Kite Factory' and Phil there does tuition. The web site is: http://www.kitefactory.com.au/ Have a look at the school section There is a big kite surfing group, on a good day you can see 20-30 people on the water (must be something to do with the fact that it's WARM ) There are about 10 buggiers, and we use the beach further up the coast (approx 1-2km). You'd be welcome to come along on a sunday and have a go in my buggy if you want. Nice to see another bee flyer and also someone I can rant to about living in the uk (cos I was there for 13 years). PM me if you want some more info. Quote
rasga Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 Hey, glad to help, wish i managed to get out when i was there. . bar the fact the water would have been WAAAAY too cold! I will learn, one day Quote
