Hi there,
I just moved to Darwin to work for 3 months and would love to do some kite surfing while I'm here! I started kite surfing 3 years ago, but haven't been out for the last 2 years, so will still be very much at the beginners level.
Is there anyone in Darwin who could give me a quick refresher lesson/ would like to go kiting/ have some advice re hiring gear etc? I've got my own harnest, but would need to hire kite and board. The kite I used last time I went kiting was a 9m Slingshot Octane kite.
Hope to find a surf buddy :o)
cheers
Thanks for info!
I'll make sure to wear a stinger suit and stay away from creeks and river mouths...
G'day,
yeah the best place is at a creek mouth but your unlikely to go there this time of year as the trade winds won't be the right direction til probably October at the earliest if we're lucky.
We won't have any worries about stingers this time of year either and personally I've never seen any crocs where we kite (this time of year) so its no big deal, I've been kiting since 2003 and windsurfed for years before so its fairly safe.
Your more likely to die of liver failure with the amount of beer you end up drinking!
cheers,
Robbie
p.s. here's a stinger video
WARNING
