Kitesurfing holiday recommendations

Hey guys,

My wife and i are looking at going on a kitesurfing holiday sometime this year. We have a tight budget but recieve $3000 to put towards flights between us curtosy of work.
Can anyone recommend anywhere keeping in mind when we get there our spendings will be minimal.
We will be traveling from Broome WA.

Cheers,
Clarey

WA is world class.

Rent a van.

looks boring

ditto for what bjw posted, I'm from SA and I go to WA for a kite trip. Lancelin was great in November.
And ditto for wishy the NW tip of Bali is on the bucket list.
Am going to south Lombok in June with a mate.
Also something to consider is I know my wife would hate the remote spots in Indo where I go with mates.

You should check out Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Zephyr Kite Tours will hook you up, or arrange it yourself.

Great recommendation,
Might want to look at security status for these areas, Egypt was massively popular for tourism, no more, turkey too, Morocco , devastating for local tourism

I work two hours from soma bay, security is fine, kiting is epic, locals are awesome.

If you want somewhere remote, no crowds and tropical www.kitesurftonga.com - windy season is april through to november.

Nice spot the Cocos Islands, great fishing , diving, I've been twice, IMHO the kiting conditions are good , but not amazing, it's the surrounds that make it, flatish to chop , 11/12 mtr winds both times, well worth a look

Hey mate, me and a few mates are busy setting up a trip to Cocos Keeling end July for about 2 weeks. What time of the year were you there?

zyphyr / cocos looks extremely pricey maybe 5 grand pp? Ironic since is part of Aus, but then we have a lot of money to throw around don't we?

It's up there but it's a unique location, just kiting there? Then I'd say it's overpriced, throw all the other stuff in you could do( then it's not so bad) however if not equipped then that's extra, honestly enjoyed my trips over, but as pure kiting locations go there's plenty as good if not better along our wa coastline, if you can afford the cocos you'll not regret your trip,
Met some nice crew there,

Cook islands, auitaki haha however its spelt?

Thanks for all the replies guys! It is very much appreciated! I'll do some research now i think!

If you have ever wanted to go to Hawaii... I live on the North shore of Kauai, I think it's a really under rated kite surfing destination. There is a shallow reef in many places and the wind is not nearly as strong as Maui both of which make windsurfing marginal but I think perfect for kite surfing. Hanalei bay, Anini beach, Haena, you will never find crowds. Lots of other things to do as well.

Just knocked out a few days at soma bay, great spot, recommend it. Having to pay for beach access sucks though.
