Arriving on Saturday in Cairns for a week .....Seabreeze looks great, Bringing 9m and 13m anyway, is the tide gonna be right for green island, i know about Yorkeys, wot else is good within driving distance with something to occupy the woman folk nearby.

Camo,
I shouldn't even comment after my last post but.........
As you are now the PR rep for Cairns I will back your call and suggest that there is no better place to kite in FNQ than Port Douglas. At least you won't get sent out of the smooth water the practice your gybes?

i hear there are about 6 nice young kiter girls hanging at yorkies at the moment

no wonder the boys are setting up ther moves

I see some of the local have even bought some new clobber to improve their appearance

Unfortunately Bruce, 5 of those 6 are the local lads dressed in drag. However, we will take what we can get, even if it is Camo in a skirt! (Sorry fella, the bourbon is talking fairly strongly at the moment and I couldn't resist after the bagging you gave me yesterday.)

Just editing some pics from a Lizard trip in June.....noticed this lefthand wave working off Haycock Island, offshore from Palm Cove.
Have any of the Cairns crew tried this spot?
Looks like you could launch from the sandspit on the corner of Double Island?
Double Island and Haycock Island with the break indicated by the arrow.

I live in Palm Cove.
What do you want to do at "Scout Head"?
Sharp corals and rocks poking out there at low tide.
Double Island is privately owned (leased). The sand strip is only accessible and suitable at very low tide.
You might rig at the southern end of Palm Cove's beach. There is a nice big area where it is safe to launch and pack up again.

Cheers

Thanks for all the tips everyone. We had had a great weeks kiting ..... Yorkies is a great spot at the moment. Took some advice moved out off Cairns and got an appartment on Yorkies.( next to the coffee shop) Drove up to Port on one day only to find no wind Had a chat with some onf the locals drove back to Yorkies got a late Avo session in. Once we got talking to some of the locals at Yorkies we found there is a good bunch of guys up there .... but on the Sunday (our first day) it wasn't to friendly. Thanks to the guys at Kite rite for helping with some bits for my board.
All in all sore arms and legs tell me it was a great trip.....Thanks all.
