Loved aceh kitecamp indonesia
Have just had fantastic 2 weeks there. Very excited at my new confidence. Wind every day, fantastic hosts, slow quiet rural beach village, good clean accommodation and great local food, clean air, amazing local people, who have rebuilt after the devastating tsunami of 2004. Inspirational and very welcoming. I took my own gear but you can hire latest F One gear. I took some lessons with Regis, who proved a terrific teacher - not too verbal and very encouraging. His partner Alice (say Aleees) is lovely and a great cultural guide. Aceh Kitecamp is situated at Yudi's Place, not a 'resort' but way above the usual homestay guest rooms. Winds were TOO good when I arrived which put me off, but the boys still got out and got air in 35 knots! Should have gone in the mornings before it got too windy! Mostly it was 13-20 knots. They only have two seasons, not Wet and Dry, but Offshore and Onshore. (Surfing and, now, Kitesurfing.) Yudi, a local surfer, and his Scottish wife Sarah are great co-hosts. I travelled alone so it was good to be in a safe friendly environment. Their website server had a fit last week but the kitecamp is on Facebook.
