If you find yourself making the trip up North to escape winter this year we are all over downwinders in the Gulf. Don't leave your kites behind, whilst it not classic postcard Ningaloo conditions its still kiting, we even have a few Top Secret flat water spots :-) If your in town get in touch www.facebook.com/exmouthkitecentre

Im not going to lie and say they are all time, we are pretty spoilt over summer but we can have it pretty good in winter. Because of the Geography of the peninsular we can kite in the Easterlies opening up the Gulf. On the right tide and wind direction we get some flat water.

My main reason for posting was that we get so many crew up here on holidays over winter who wished they had brought their gear up that I thought Id give a heads up.

Generally speaking Its on in the morning, the wind ramps up as the sun comes up and dies off around midday when it heats up.

If its just a kiting trip your after save it until September but if you are coming anyway then pack a kite for sure.

more like 12 to 17m I would say. Unless you get out when the wind peaks you may be fine on a 10m for about half hour.

Id Be going with the 10 and 12. Be sure to give me a text If your chasing a session (really bad phone reception 50%of the day, Surfing or kiting the other 50) :-)

Saturday and Sunday look like some good morning sessions...might be glad you packed a 10 ;-)

I guess it was of great importance to mention that the surfboard has no straps. ^

lol.

Maybe not but I read into it that he was chasing waves only, thats what strapless kitesurfing is all about right? I mean if I wanted to do jumps and spins Id stick to one of those old school two way boards with straps

Describing the gear as an 'unstrapped' surfboard' .... rather than just saying 'surfboard' ,,,

comes across as a bit pompous to me.

Just saying.

lol.
