Austrian Kiters in WA Perth to Coral Bay

hi everybody, me and a friend both kiters, both from austria will land in perth on the 26th dec. 2011! we stay for 6 weeks! we would like to kite around the coast in WA from perth up to coral bay! is there a train or bus going there - and should we bring our own gear? or is ist better to buy or rent cheap stuff there? thanks for your help! alexd6@hotmail.com Facebook: Alex Dole

Is this a trolls attempt at taking the p..s .
If not you guys need to do some more research, the train goes as far as clarkson 35 k from the city going north and stops there. We do have roads and most even have black stuff on called tarmac, but not all of them so ull need a hire car etc if you want to travel north/south. South the trains go as far as mandurah ( 100 k )
MOST IMPORTANT RULE, ASK THE LOCALS WHAT AND WHERE YOU CAN KITE.
PEOPLE HERE WANT TO BAN KITING FROM SOME IF NOT ALL BEACHES SO DONT ENCOURAGE THEM BY BREAKING ANY RULES JUST FOR A QUICK HIT ( YOU MIGHT JUST GET ONE BACK )
HAPPY KITING.

ha, ha yes and clarkson is +- 30km from perth so you have another 1200km to go which is approx. the lengt of EURO you are from and......I a have been in WA for 7 months now and still trying to find out where to kite. good luck/ should have gone to Cape Town and joined Aaron/ Kevin and the boys for 25-60knots of perfect cross shore for 5 monts!

Sorry mate - did not mean it like that just pointing to fact that there is propably beter places than Perth for traveling kitesurfers to go, infact I would rather be in Le Mourne Mauritius right now than Cpt - warm water and awsome spots less than 1 hour apart - Perth is a great place to live maybe not the best kiting I am still to find out. Cheers R

Had great wind yesterda and a fun kite at Scarborough - Loads of spots if you are into freestyle or mowing the lawn. Still looking for a spot for some down the line wave riding. Mettams showed some promise but the polies were all over it. Any other spots that might work?

Thanks, I was eye-balling the reef at Hillarys yesterday since I live 2km away. There was some windsurfers out there. Been out there on a SUP before so I know that is a hec of a distance to swim should something go wrong. Might work if a couple of kiters went out there to assist should a kite go down.

What is closest or best spot North - will appreciate the advice.

A few guys were out in Marmion yesterday a short distance from Mettams - not much space to launch though.

what about Yanchep? Any kiting out there?
