Hi everyone, I will move to Perth June 10th and will start kitesurfing after a break of 3 years.
I will bring a 7m, 9m and 12m kite (Core, GT, Carved) and hope that's enough...I weigh around 70 kg.
Or should I also bring a 5m? Am not sure.
Anyway, I would be very happy to get in touch with the WACK! Group, as I read about the girls through a friend.
I don't know anything about good WA spots, my hubbie wants to learn kitesurfing so I am happy to receive good links about kitecourses/schools as well.
Since I haven't been kiting for a bit I would feel safer to start kiting knowing to find nice and helpful people on the beach, I would like to get in touch with a trainer anyway before I start again.
I am also a yogi, so whoever has some tips and links for me: am more than happy to
When I stopped kiting 2006 I was able to do small jumps and backflip. That was with very ooooold equipment at that point, C02 and 7m Tacoon. A lot has changed since then and I am so very much looking forward to this new period of my life.
Cheers, Insa

Hey there! Cool a girls kite orga is a great thing!
Do they have a group on facebook or homepage or any of the kind?
I'm moving to Perth in September and dunno anyone so far, but it sounds like Perth is a cool place especially for kiting!

Well see you on the water then!
