Vico to Exmouth via Broome There are kitable spots all the way just remember you can be a very long way from help. Hedland has the spoil bank which can have some good flat water and Karatha has a few spots that have been mentioned on previous posts under Karatha.
Onslow is a fair drive off the main road but there are one or two spots there too,give the salt ponds a miss as, well they are very salty and the bottom is razor sharp.Then theres Exmouth where we have a couple of spots now the wind is starting to swing to the sw in the arvo's. Call in to our shop on Nimitz st and we will show you a few.

Wind forecast not looking good for next week in Broome. Main dry season kiting used to be from Town Beach. Gusty easterly winds but kiteable. May be restrictions since I last kited there so check it out when you get there. Good luck with getting any wind at all this time of year.
Spring tides next week so worth checking out if you can walk out to the WW2 flying boat wrecks in the bay (Town Beach) at low tide (Thurs/Friday). Really is worth the early AM effort. Broome visitors centre can give instructions/detail.
