Hi There!

I'm coming to Forster this christmas
Thought I would bring my 11 slingshot octane
and a bar. Is it a good idea?
I'm travelling with family from France and
bringing my boards will be a bit too much...

Any hints about actual kitespots for that period? Pleaaase...
Are twintips available for rent? (Surfboards should not be a problem ??)

Thanks in advance for answers

This is what happenned to me earlier in the year...lost my ACL on that one...

Wow your going to bring a kite and bar! What an outrageous idea. Wouldn't tell anyone about the Carlton cold..

Goodluck trying to hire a board maybe buy a door and some straps at buntings may hold up for a few days

Maybe its time to start learning to kite waves .(there are plenty of them ) You can do an awesome downwinder along booti booti down to tiona .You can prolly pick up a cheap surfboard at the op shop.
Otherwise nearest dealers are in the Newcastle area .I could hire you a board 9nobile 666 140 .not sure about board crazy
