hey guys,
i'm off to bali on friday for a week... i never been there, so not sure what to expect in terms of wind... i'm wondering if i should take my kite 12m SB or forget about it and try to rent something there...
just don't want to have to take the kite and board all the way there, with the risk of paying extra luggage to find out is not windy enough for a 12m there...
can anyone help????
cheers.

Use search function.
People pay Ben Wilson hundreds per day to attend his wave camp and there are pro's playing there, so I think I would take my kite.
its very late in the season, but they are still getting wind at the moment... having said that, i ALWAYS take a kite... (and a surfboard)
where are you staying kuta,sanur,changu take 12m nothing smaller bigger the better 14 if possible renting a bit exe,kuta to sanur about $8-10AU each way by blue cab head for sanur beach hotelthen walk out back to the beach and check tide first before leaving kuta too low its no go
eh, tone wish i was still there ****ing cold down here ,still working at the moment 11deg in factory and dropping had a look at yogys villa not bad at all i think i will book 1 week there then head to the other spot for 2 weeks next year bit sick of hollywood
yeah mate, having a bit of trouble re-integrating with society here (but at least its warm)... but i'm back over for a surf in sept so something to look forward to... yog's villa is sweet eh? and yeah, the other spot for a coupla weeks for sure... seems like the young fella opened a few eyes eh??? good on him! cheers
Hey Flip,
If you knew how to kitesurf ...
and you had a freaking big-arse doona kite,
Bali would be perfect for a wind-freak like your good self.
If you don't take your gear and the wind up you'll be pished off!! Take it just incase, if its not blowing you could aways trade the cab in for some nice hair braids or a bintang singlet.
Heheh thanks guys,
That's it just checked with virgin blue and they don't charge for sporting gear (hope kiteboarding is considered a sport heheh), so one more reason for taking it just in case...
Let's just hope I get at least half a day of good wind and I'll be happy.... ;)
Cheers

Imagine the headlines "Richard Branson gets slugged excess baggage for kitesurfing gear on Virgin"
hahahahahahahaha true.... i should take that photo of him with the naked chick on his back just in case they start being picky with kiteboarding stuff....
hehehehe
Just back, kited 10 out of 16 days, flat water to overhead, seek and ye shall find.
Take at least a 10-12m and a surfboard.
I will go back through the archive and get the Bali article for you and post the article. Yes take your gear, the who's who of kiting head to Bali every winter to get a blast of warm water, warm wind and warm Bintang. The wind is a little on and off but when it does turn on you have many great places to ride.
Check back soon.
