Dealer conference somewhere nice and warm maybe Hawaii again in later June, then home for a few weeks and leave for 6 weeks up North as far as Port Douglas, ending with a Kitesurfari at Cape Flattery, and if I can squeeze it in another trip to Lord Howe in May/June.
Someone has to do it!

Hey Jonah, stay away from the local, we dont want a repeat of what happened last time you passed through.

The UK

More than likely Beadnal and Budle bay,

Note to self remember to take the wettie.

Flame suit on, cause this is gonna get haters hatin'

Maldives

Im looking forward to Rosebud...... water temp 10 degrees.....air temp 10 degrees...
wind 25 knots..... cant feel fingers or toes..... cant wait.....

Aitutaki in the cook island for 2 weeks!

Fiji and Tarawa in the kiribati islands! Woo, can't wait! Don't expect to get alot of kiting action in Tarawa/surrounding islands, but hoping Fiji will be awesome!

Any suggestions on the best locations/islands around Fiji for kiting and diving etc??

The GF and i are booked in to go over at the start of june for 3 weeks at the 2 destinations. Loking forward to some sweet lagoons!

we have fantastic wind 24/7 and Kalpitiya lagoon is the happening place for kiters.
I have been living in this awesome country for 13 years now, i can tell you there's LOADS of things to see and do.The kiting has NO cons my friends, all pros. Find a nice place next to the lagoon, (for example my brand new one! www.rascalskiteresort.com or www.kalpitiyakitesurfing.com :lol: ) and have the blast of a lifetime. There are wonderful islands to be visited, breath-taking downwinders which can stretch for miles, passing very interesting reef wave spots, endless flatwater lagoons, sand spits, you name it, it's here! If you want wind, you might even get tired of it, it blows CONSTANTLY day and night, from May to around middle of September. Full moon lagoon sessions are common practice at our lagoon.
There are many comfortable flights nowadays and it's 3 hrs approx from the airport. The people in our village are very friendly and helpful. It is truly amazing here for kiters!
I hope the info was useful for all, if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer any. we want this place to grow!
ciaoaoaooaooo,

This is what im doing! Come and join me, and if there is no wind, we will just surf cloud break like I have for the last 7 days!

well unlike all you lucky bastards above, I am not going anwhere. My pregnant wife and two grommets suck the life out of my pay before I even see it. So my winter plans are two hit any winter storms that come through and get into the late winter/sping westerlies that fire through here. That and plenty of DH mtb.

Its not all beer and skittles...
14 years, 2 kids, a house renno or two. Its finally happening. Built from scratch from plans...
And SB, got a whole bunch of mates who have helped along the way so the deckie list is pretty long, but i'll put yr name down...
Plan is to get it to Sanur by july, via various breaks, then prob back to the "east isles" for the oct/sep wind.
Be sure to knock on the hull if you see us...

Haha, cheers mate.
All the work will of paid off when you hit the water, have a great trip!

That Catamaran looks SICK. Looks like one that I've been on that has 4 decent bedrooms and the big saloon area up top and the verandah out the back....those 35ft+ Cats are way nicer than most people's houses. EPIC.
