Surfmotion-German Base, Sun..Wind...Heat...Perfection.....I thought it would be good to bring back some hot memories to warm up all Melbourne kiters this weekend
it looks like a nightmare. it looks like one of those spots where 500 german kiteboarders who only kite once a year go, and cause chaos as they go straight downwind, completely out of control
Colin, thats excactly what I thought when I got there, but thats not the case, on busy days there are about 150 kites in the air, thats not a lot for a huge area you have avail.
The launch takes place on small area about 50x20meters, in the mornning its very busy,as on one pick ,often 3 kites are launched at the same time, kites are parked on the beach literally one on top of the other.......but everything works with German precision......during 2 weeks I was there pretty much every day I didnt see the smallest accident......the beach boys do excellent job and kiting dickheads just dont come to this place....on the water you have back up of 2 boats that react immediatelly if anyone has problems...
Bennie, sorry but no waves, its flat water spot,but you are right its perfect for relaxing as well....you have 5* hotel near the spot, diving centre,gym, pools,childcare, disco, bars,great food and more.....the funny thing is that 2 weeks including food and airfare from Poland ( 4 hrs flight) cost $1300, the use of the Kitesurfing Centre (storage,back up, compressed air) cost 60 Euro a week , the wind is pretty much guaranteed !!.
There looks like less people there than in Whyalla on a regular summer day. If you think that is busy you should have seen it when we had over 60 kiters battling for some room at the last local comp. We would be lucky to have a 1/3 of that room.
Looks like paradise over there to me.
ok. you buy the ticket and i'll go i do get lonely here.
Totally agree with you waxman. i would much rather go there than whyalla again. (personal experience... not kiting related) Why Allah? Why?....Why!!!!
