As I said in my previous email, the wife and I are heading up to Port Douglas starting on the 6th June.

After reading bits and pieces I am still unsure. Do I need a stinger suit at this time of year.

Do I need booties to kite "Four Mile", if so, what type is recommended.

Sorry about the ignorance, I am just a humble southerner that has never left town

you wont need a stinger suit this time of year mate.
But be sure to bring your blues jersey.

No for the stinger suit, i believe they are only a summer thing (was there last year in september and none there, just wore boardies)

Booties, maybe, there are a few sharp bits of coral lying around but generally it is sand. I didn't wear any and got no cuts. Just be aware when walking out/in at low tide.

low tide is the best time to kite too, the spot is protected by a reff to the south, at low tide it is exposed and the riding area becomes butter flat... except for unbroken waves rolling around the end of the reef.. perfect ramps.

So going back up there this year

I think it means he must buy the beers, and then apologise for wednesdays pain.
