iv been to most of the world class places all over the world but i struggle to find a better place then where i live for flatwater. windy summer and winter, no crowds, flat water. no waves tho. queensland has awsome flatwater in almost every town.

name them you keep spruiking some ****hole i kited at for 2 years as the worlds best. im curious as to see exactly where you have kited in the world.

Worlds best what? Kite launcher?

Why has nobody said South Beach in Dongara? That place is so good. Cross shore with mush for waves. Such a sick cafe there too.
Oh and seaweed balls everywhere which always help when launching.

Best place in the world.

Between the flags. The surf is always better there for some reason.

I second eddiemorgs on Darwin.
100+ days of kiting easily per year.
Very Warm.
Lifestyle. Awesome crew up there, relaxed, chilled vibe and there's not many places a Darwinian can go to unwind from already being unwound!
Many epic spots around Aust would be void due to the 'Warm' requirement though...more so if you come from the north, because everywhere else is cold.

I spent about a week in Darwin and reckon I saw a couple of crocks sitting in the shallows. Da Fook do you guys deal with that up there?

I know everyone is talking about the warm spots north, but Victorians are reading this crap saying nothing about their epic colder point breaks.

Some of my best days every have been south. Seriously world class waves spots. Forget all these bogan Aussies with their southern cross tatts pretending to be proud Aussies yet spending every holidays in Bali, hire a van and explore Oz!!

Where are the best right hand waves in Australia ? Where does the wind consistently blow from right to left so as to be on the forehand for a natural footer like myself ?

if you want to ride forehand, probably best just to switch feet rather than trying to find wind and waves to suit.

Mid west WA / gero is a good balance if you like to sea breezes from Sep - April . No perfect breaks yet miles of coast with good waves that have epic moments. I am still kiting either a 9 or 6 in overhead at least once a week on my lonesome. Currently 28 degrees.

Probably prudent to tell you, it is not here where we live. We have more than enough kiters here already...when the season is on.
So yeah...definitely not here.

perth - **** waves - no good wind in winter - actually those wind swell downwinders can be fun... v small tho
sydney - south of airport is ok but a general $million house traffic fail
goldie- can be ok - north end fun downwinders - only good choice really with sweep tho - kfc can be good when right direction for not being too gusty - flat water - kirra is not great but ok - winter fickle but great surfing
i reckon sunshine coast is not too bad - hard to find a job tho.
If NZ was warm it would smoke most places on earth for waves and flat water.

He replied go and get your own
