Hey there... im coming down to dunners for a bit of a uni/surfing reunion with my old flat mates from a few years back.

Problem is in the last year since i have been hookd on kiteboardin ive been chasing the onshores more than the offshores...

I really would love to get some kiting in down there. I bet Ara's is wicked and i have seen a vid of the harbour lookin good... Ocean view can probably turn it on too.

So my question is... is there many kiters in dunners thatd be keen for a mid week session?

aramoana was great yesterday

the harbour is good too but can be dangerous without a bit of local knowledge....

middle beach / st kilda on a sw is fun but can be brutal

lots of places to go

Hey Craig

Is there any sites on the net about kiting in DUnedin and/or the catlins?

Any flat water spots in the catlins?

there are a few sites described on this site, see here: www.kiteforum.co.nz/location.php

some of it's a bit out of date and some of it is a bit overblown on purpose to keep the learner muppets away from the nasty stuff that we kite at most days..

just ring me, i can answer the phone while at work and tell you whats happening...

ne wind watercooled, stronger ne or n = aramoana or harwood.

sw the beach or lake waihola or harwood.

nw no kiting.

thats about it for dunedin.

catlins? never kited there... the sw always seems a bit x-off at the beaches, there's not much flatwater, fortrose lagoon or waituna lagoon are flat, further south, awarua or oreti or te wae wae or colac bay
