No thats a surfari I would be happy to pay $300 a day for

just got back from a Kite Surfari eight day'er with an awesome crew from SYD, Perth, BRIS and MEL --- of the 8 days only 2 were less that 25kts, we averaged a consistent 30kts

This was my first kite trip so no other destinations to compare to, but my three new mates from SYD (Torsten, Andrew and Will) assure me there's not a spot on the planet with this consistency of wind where you fall out of a comfy bed, walk 20 paces, pump up, launch and you're off .. the area is remote, exclusive and awesome, waste high and a bunch of spots within easy distance depending on what the tides doing .. 'crocagoon' was quickly the crew's favourite, and nice to see it featured in the vid above ;)

f@#k all this crap about $300 a day .. Ant and Paulette take care of everything, transfers to and from the camp (5 hours north of Cairns), all meals, a few beers and enough laughter to last you until next year (you're a f@&kin legend Ant and we're all envious, you've got life wired) .. and if you only get a pass out for a few weeks a year what's $2k? ... f@&k all

To the haters that crap on about the cost ... have you been?
To those who are looking for an awesome kite trip with wind that never stops ... go
To those who said 4 days is enough ... nup, 8 days is perrfect

Good winds mofos!

I'm pretty keen to do a four day trip in the next month or so. Just wondering what the max number of people can stay there. I hear there's a tent and cabin option.

Cheers

Hurdles,

I just got back from the 8 day trip yesterday. Not a breath of wind anywhere else in Queensland but we still were still able to put in a couple of sessions each day thanks to this freakish wind location. Cabin accommodation is the way to go and sleeps up to six people complete with real beds and lighting! This is a marked improvement from sleeping in tents.

Cheers. M.

True that.
Two of us from Wollongong had been planning a trip to Queensland,following the seabreeze wind charts,we quickly realized that the only chance of wind was going to be Cairns. Green arrows almost for three months straight.We booked holidays with work,then the week we planned to go, yellow arrows with a touch of red as well for the whole week.......F#CK...and that was Thursday.
So we were to fly out on the following Tuesday and had no wind to fly too.....what to do?....Call Ant?...nah I have left it too late...F#ck it I will call.
There you go..I called and he squeezed us in....happy days...
We stayed night 1 at yorkeys......ZERO WIND...
Ant picked us up at 5:30am on the dot as promised..Five hr trip taking in the sights up past Cooktown...Kiting in WIND by midday...
We joined another crew half way through their Eight day surfari and after chatting to them couldn't believe that they had kited every day...
The rumors are true....people were pumping up as the sun rises ( me included ) what a place.
Being a beginner, I kited more in the first 2 days than I managed in a whole year at home...that's right ( a whole year )
Waist deep warm water , cross onshore , no gusts at all ( not like Wollongong ) heaps of sun, NO CROWDS...and no crocks.
The water tank cabins are fantastic,comfortable and clean. Ant has arranged the cabins so you can eat,drink and socialize out of the constant wind.
The flushing toilet and hot water shower are taken for granted at home but are truly appreciated up there.
Whilst kiting on day 2 a roller on my bridle snapped....thanks to Ant and a bit of luck I was up and kiting within the hour...10 hr return drive saved...
Met some great people and had a fantastic experience..
Saving up for the next one...
Thanks Ant and Pauley...
Cheers Billy...

just got back from the trip also, was a great experience and really recommend it to anyone.

by the way we filmed a Naish TV episode up there so for everyone who wants to see what the place is like we will be releasing a full movie mainly featuring Ant's place in a few weeks so stay tuned!

We will keep you to that ewan cant wait to see the movie sounds sik . Can you put it up on seabreeze general area some off us havnt got pay tv
