Bye Jankie
Not sure bud but I found the best wind in Indonesia to be in Aceh.. altho a bit strong and it hits from the SW and it seems consistent.. what pissed me off was I had a big kite and the wind was blowing up a storm I wasnt expecting such strong wind but will take a smaller kite the next trip i go.. good winds all
gilli is windy
but it might've been the mushies
launching is a pain.. the beach is pure coral chunks, but it was 20kts cross on with sloppy waves running a half dozen turn lengths at waist to shoulder height...
plus there were mushies, and euro chicks on mushies and dance music with euro chicks on mushies dancing... I skinned all the toes on both my feet and didn't notice for a week...
Yes Gili has wind. Of the 3 island Gili Air is the one better for kitesurfing as the beach where to launch is wider. There are actually 2 spot on Gili Air and since last summer a small kite operator: http://www.gilikitesurf.com/
But season there is shorter then West of Bali, best months are August to October when the trades get more southerly.
Wind could get quite strong too, we got report of days over 30 knots.

Years ago i saw airport lefts and kuta reef absolutely firing in 24 knots... Would be sooo sick but so rare..
