Dealer conference somewhere nice and warm maybe Hawaii again in later June, then home for a few weeks and leave for 6 weeks up North as far as Port Douglas, ending with a Kitesurfari at Cape Flattery, and if I can squeeze it in another trip to Lord Howe in May/June.
Someone has to do it!

My choice is the Land of Lahara- Untouched, endless paradise for kiting, fishing and diving all on one little luxury cruise-boat and a amazing crew and chef on board.
My fav is fresh tuna with Wasabi (imported) after a big kiting session :)

Best months for papua new guinea is july/aug/sep/oct.

Cant wait to go again and this year they might have a wicked kiteboard race somewhere at a secret location with some good price-money! Now that would sweeten the holiday yeww

we have fantastic wind 24/7 and Kalpitiya lagoon is the happening place for kiters.
I have been living in this awesome country for 13 years now, i can tell you there's LOADS of things to see and do.The kiting has NO cons my friends, all pros. Find a nice place next to the lagoon, (for example my brand new one! www.rascalskiteresort.com or www.kalpitiyakitesurfing.com :lol: ) and have the blast of a lifetime. There are wonderful islands to be visited, breath-taking downwinders which can stretch for miles, passing very interesting reef wave spots, endless flatwater lagoons, sand spits, you name it, it's here! If you want wind, you might even get tired of it, it blows CONSTANTLY day and night, from May to around middle of September. Full moon lagoon sessions are common practice at our lagoon.
There are many comfortable flights nowadays and it's 3 hrs approx from the airport. The people in our village are very friendly and helpful. It is truly amazing here for kiters!
I hope the info was useful for all, if you have any questions i'll be happy to answer any. we want this place to grow!

Now confirmed and flights booked for 2 1/2 weeks in Mauritius in July, possible trip to Fiji late July, and maybe a Kitesurfari with Ant, as well as a 5-6 week drive to FNQ.

well unlike all you lucky bastards above, I am not going anwhere. My pregnant wife and two grommets suck the life out of my pay before I even see it. So my winter plans are two hit any winter storms that come through and get into the late winter/sping westerlies that fire through here. That and plenty of DH mtb.

Its not all beer and skittles...
14 years, 2 kids, a house renno or two. Its finally happening. Built from scratch from plans...
And SB, got a whole bunch of mates who have helped along the way so the deckie list is pretty long, but i'll put yr name down...
Plan is to get it to Sanur by july, via various breaks, then prob back to the "east isles" for the oct/sep wind.
Be sure to knock on the hull if you see us...

That Catamaran looks SICK. Looks like one that I've been on that has 4 decent bedrooms and the big saloon area up top and the verandah out the back....those 35ft+ Cats are way nicer than most people's houses. EPIC.
