Advice needed for first time Perth

Hello , we are 2 kiteboarders from europe and we come over beginning december for 3 weeks kiting and enjoying Perth. So I need a lot of advice like

-Car rental
-Good kiting place around Perth within 3 hours drive
-The wind speed in knots in December or common used kite sizes.
-Where to stay, we need an appartment for all our stuff. Hostal is no go.
-Stay close to the beach or stay close to the city center for drink and food, I assume we need to drive anyway to the spots

Please reply with your advice and we will respect the rules and the locals! Looking forward to escape the cold winter and kite in Australia

Cheers Remko

get out its too busy

It sure looks like "Dare" is a troll looking to trigger that exact reaction, probably originating from the current wind-less WA boredom

But if I'm wrong, as a euro who enjoyed WA myself my advice to you Remko would be to try to ask more nicely because your message sounds like you're thinking these forums are a Tourist Information Office that will do everything for you.

Anyway Google and this forum search have all the answers to your questions, cause there are heaps of car rental companies around, lots of great kiting spots within 3h drive (Woodman Point, Safety Bay, Margaret River, Lancelin come to mind), and I guess many accommodation options available in Perth and suburbs.
Seabreeze is usually blowing pretty strong in summer, pack your 7/9m if you're a small dude, 9/12m if you're a bigger block. As for the close to the beach/close to the civilisation debate, that's a tricky one in WA, I guess it depends on your priorities!

Have a good one,

Aside from kiting WA speaks for its self, best tip, Bring plenty of Money with you, Perth aint Cheap!!

woodies still no go december?

Hello, thanks for all the advice. I am for sure that the beaches in Europe are at least as busy as your beaches. In Holland there are a lot of spots closed down because of the rules to protect nature and birds. On good days we have 200+ kiters on a beach, most dutch , german and belgium people. We allways stay friendly and welcome to our neighbours from other countries, but we have the same feeling that foreigners are ruining or spots!

I already discovered Perth is expensive, but its holiday and I better spend my euros befores the euro goes bankrupt

I have already been in contact with your mate Tom with all the info you have requested on your post. Just email him I think he has all this in hand.

Good onya Da Curls I didnt think you were like that. Sorry mate. Too long without wind maybe, catch you out there.
