Hi everyone,

Just wanted some opinoins on a potential Kite trip to Cairns in Winter,

Could anyone comment on the below?

-Wind strength
-Consistency
-Flat water spots
-Where to stay?
-Getting around (hire car?)
-Anything else I should be aware of/danger spots

Much appreciated!

I think its a conspiracy because my last two visits to Cairns have had SFA wind!
That said, it's great to be stuck there without wind because you can just go hang out at the cable park.

We booked a trip to Cairns/Port Douglas last year and I even waited until the arrows turned green before I boarded the Plane and still missed out

cheers for the replies everyone, perhaps I will look at other areas, as I want 100% garaunteed wind,

Don't bother going to Cairns or PD ,was up there last year for a week out of the 7 days we were there there was a strong wind warning for 5 of them ,got one day of 20 kts the rest sub 15 kts ,if we didn't take the 19m flysurfer it would have been a wasted trip.You'd be a PD and there would be 12 kts but if you look at the wind readings from low Isles and it was 25kt all day!! WTF it's only 15km away.

If you want good wind you have to go further north CookTown or even furthur!

Have a look at this and give Jon a call at KP as they have trips up there this winter.

i reccommed this highly too. cairns has crap wind and no flat water but that trip which jas is talking bout has cranking wind and butter smooth water.
