Hi there,

I will be in Perth early october till april. Yiehaaa!!!
It's my first visit to West Australia and I have a couple questions....
-I love strapless riding and waves any advice on spots near Perth?
-Do I need a wetsuit?
-Any advice on buying a car? Do I need 4wheel drive?
-What sizes kites to bring? I have 12-9-7 north rebel.
-Are there any kiteshops where they sell north gear?

My girlfriend is working in Perth and I will have a lot of free time to go kiting, If there are people who like to team up for downwinders or so, let me know!

Can't wait to get there!!!!
Greets,
Tim

yo tim perfect kite sizes for perth season, aks in perth will look after your north needs and gero surf and sail if you head north , 4x4 would let you explore more but y still got heaps of spots that dont need them, id bring the essential repair gear, lines, bladder or bladder repair, if y need more info let us know

Hi Tim

I will join you in January, coming to Perth on a WHV and will look for a sponsored job, so I guess I'll be unemployed for some time, time I'll obviously dedicate to kitesurfing :)

Planning to buy a 4x4 van and camp in it. I have a 9m,12m RPM and 17m Cabrinha.

You will need a shorty for the period you are here.
