Hi Guys,

My name is Britte from the Netherlands. Me and my boyfriend got infected with the kitesurf virus about a year ago and in august we will continue our overland travels in Australia.

I already learned a lot on the forum but I've got some specific questions, hopefully you can give us some advice.

About us:
- Experience level: in good wind flat water conditions we both ride upwind and transition. (Surft in the Netherlands, Phan Rang Vietnam and Kampot Cambodia) + good level wakeboarding

- Britte: 183 cm, 77 kg (age 28)
- Joost: 188 cm, 75 kg (age 31)

- Budget: we saved, but every spending will shorten our travel time. So we have to consider what is the best quality-fun-money option.

- We want to buy a Campervan and travel from Darwin (2nd August) along the west coast to Melbourne (March?). We probably stay in Australia for a year, maybe go to the east coast after Melbourne, not sure yet.

- Wind conditions (back) in Netherlands I would think: 14 kts- 25 kts

- We've surft with F-one bandit, Cabrinha Switchblade and Ozone Catalyst. We liked the Ozone most, then F-one followed by Cabrinha.

The big question:
- How many/which size kite(s) would you recommend us? And which size of board?

- Is there a shop you can recommend we will pass?

- Which brands are well distributed and are worth to take a look at?

- Of course we can find spots online and on this forum but if you can highly recommend or not recommend us, I would love to hear.

- Last but not least, if anyone likes to meet up, let me know:)

Thank you for reading:)
