Hi to all Aussie kiters!

I am an Italian kiter, I'm gonna be in Sydney from 1 to 15 November, I'll be based in Double Bay.

Unfortunately I cannot bring my kites with me because I am on a business trip and then visiting other Asian countries...but of course I wanna kite !

Can you give me some info:
1) which is the best and nearest spot to Double Bay?
2) where can I rent the kite equipment?
3) is November a good period for kiting? Wind avergare?

Thanks so much for all this info, I'll be glad to help you should any of you come to Italy in the future!

cheers
Alex
