I know heaps of crew are heading North (or South for some) this early season
Just thought I'd let you know that we are already feeling the breezes as far North as the Lighthouse..
All conditions seem to be lining up for a killer September, So stoked and ready for for this season
If your not already planning a trip, get onto it
Heading up in a fortnight for 11 days, was worried I was going to be a little bit early for the wind, but this has got me excited!
Also excited to be swimming with some humpbacks...Just need to get through the next 2 weeks at work...
Be there on the 3rd of September again dude can you book the wind
Locked in buddy
Yeh Tom certainly not far off now , it's been a long , cold, dark winter without a kite
Are you coming up this year mate?
43 sleeps and counting. Never been to Exmouth, and new to kiting last summer, so what better excuse to take a trip up north. Can't wait, let's hope the wind has truly arrived by early October.

Yeeeeeeeeewww you're in for a treat... Be sure to pop in and say hello at the Lighthouse.
We had a week up there early last September with no wind so that pretty much guarntees this September will be epic as bloody Eppo is going and I'm not!
Absolutely. My wife had a few lessons last year, and I'm trying to convince her to have another couple while we are up there. Will definitely come and say hi, and hopefully book her a lesson or two.

Too easy mate, we will look after her at the kite school if she decides to have another go. I think she will appreciate our learning environment up here, its as good as it gets I reckon

The BWS camp had me thinking of crossing to the dark side Tom, I'm hitting up a little spot I'm fond of sounds too busy up there for me
Here what's the camper mob up there for a Merc sprinter or the likes me the Missus and the 1 yr old gonna head up ?
Exmouth Camper Hire are the go for Camper vans up here. Run by local kiters too.

sheesh starting to wonder if booking exmouth during school holidays was a bad idea.
Last year was empty.
hopefully wind this year, only had 1 day last year in 2 weeks, tho cant complain as plenty of waves on the sup n surfboard.
Yeh was sh1thouse. First trip away without the handbrakes for years and it sucked. One epic day though which almost made it worth it.
5 grumpy ass smelly blokes sitting around, only so much sleeping one can do.

Yep its a shame theres nothing else to do in Exmouth except kiting
We are flying up and trying to work out how to get as much gear as possible on the plane with us - ideally 3 kids and a twinny each (plus bars & harness). Qantas are being very vague and unhelpful regarding what their size restrictions are for luggage are on this route. It seems like golf equipment is exempt from size restrictions but not kiteboards (we were told they might need to go up as freight separately!). We are now figuring out why kite companies call their travel bags 'golf bags'. Has anyone flown up to Exmouth? Did your have any trouble getting your gear up? Any tips?
Heading up the end of sept with the Missus son and caravan. If you want your stuff taken up let us know. We were gonna fly the mother and child up but making the most of the holiday :-)
Why fly when you when you can drive, it's a breeze.
Plus you can take as much gear you can fit. Mind you if you are only going for a week then flying is a great option..
Now, Dan...get back to work and get the 4X4 serviced and caravan ready for the trip.

Qantas use a third party for the Exmouth-Perth route so maybe thats why they are being vague. They use the fokker 100 though so surfboards aren't a problem. We get plenty of customers bring them up and never heard of a problem and even had customers bring sups up although they did have a problem getting it in the airport shuttle at first(they actually got another trailer to fit it).
