Hey everyone,

this is an amazing vid taken by a kiter that was just on Lord Howe.

It gives a fantastic idea of what it is like to sail on the lagoon.

If anybody is interested in doing some sailing/kiting there,

this is possibly one of the

best representations of what it is actually like.


The vid is on Jack Shick's site who is an

islander/fisherman/kitesurfer/waterman/photographer.

Check it.

Stunning looking place, nice film work, though I found myself swaying with the horizon

but it was a bit of sick looking sea

LHI looks amazing....Is there a windy season?

Lordhowe looks abit of a harsh enviroment for sailing similar to Tasmania perhaps.
I thinks it must be just me getting on in the years and enjoying the easy sail. I would enjoy the hiking then the sailing there. The older I get the better I was.

some of the places where he is ,you won't be!!! Put it this way, I don't think he would of wanted to be face planting....

Sue, you will love Lord Howe.
Spent 6 days there 18 months ago. Cost me a bundle for the wife and myself, but best thing I have ever done.
Only down side, I didn't find out till the day I was leaving that there were windsurfers on the island and that Tim had windsurfers for hire. Would have made the holiday perfect, but that will have to wait till next time when I win Lotto, then I will be staying for 6 months.
By the way don't hire a bike named Paul. My wife hated it, him.
Problem was she is vertically challenged and didn't really have a choice.
Mind you if you want shopping centres, mobile phones, cars etc, don't go. But somehow I have the impression that's not you.
Never been to all those other windsurfing Mecca's, but now I've been spoilt I'm not inclined.
I have added my amateur attempt at a panorama just to tempt you.

Forgot to mention, if weather permits, that is the seas arnt too rough make sure you take the round island cruise. The view of Mount Gower from the sea is just unbelievable. Looks like it goes up forever.
Didnt get to do the trip to the top of Mount Gower. Did the right thing and stayed with my darling, but next time, rain hail or shine I'm going up. Young couple we met went up with their kids and sent me some great pictures of the view.
Again I've added one to tempt you.
