On average there are around 5 days where its just above 12 knots at Cocos in the month of January.
Knowing what the charges are for luggage (if you're going by air) I'd say it wouldn't be worth it.

take your harness and be nice to some of the locals if the wind comes up ;)

When I was there earlier in the year they mentioned they kite all year round, but it's not very consistent outside of the tradewind season.

Yeah good idea Manno - give Dave a shout - he works at the pub. He'll sort you out most likely. take him some wax and a new legrope and he'll be your best mate.
