I've not kited there, but have mates who fish out there. They reckon it would be awesome for kiting.
I'm keen!

Trip out there runs every year, mostly a windsurf trip but some guys kite. The trouble is the difficulty of launch and land from the boat (or getting back if conditions change). Not a place for the intermediates anyway...

??? There are heaps of little bays, islands. ??

Getting back to the original question, yes, probably one of my favourite places in Aus.

First of all this should be in the W.A section.

If there is enough people keen you could look into hiring a small aircraft big enough to carry 3 people and gear over. Trouble is we wouldn't be able to take surfboards unless you hired a large aircraft and the runway is only 600m long. Maybe a seaplane which i know can be hired but it would still would struggle to take 4 surfboard i think.

Would make and epic albeit expensive session

Not being a smart arse. But having lived on the island for a while. How well can you handle 40 knots?

Sounds perfect

aren't most of the islands coral gravel type beaches, rather than sand? A poley mate keeps trying to get me to join them on their annual trip but the logistics of kiting off the boat turn me off.

Are these Islands in the whitsundays? I can't find them online

Isn't China building these islands.

Arabians I heard... they are into that sort of thing

A guy tried it on a Batavia, did not turn out too well for him.

Most people call them the Abrolhos islands and they are off geraldton.

oh shouldn't this be in the WA section then?

Maybe someone from outside WA has kited the Abrolhos and could provide advise. Why limit the conversation?
