We have just returned from a week in beautiful Fiji staying at Safari Lodge on a little island called Nananu-i-ra north of Fiji’s main island.
The weather was great, the wind was a little light on the first few days & quite unseasonal in direction, but we convinced Warren who owns & runs Safari Lodge it was worth a downwinder. He has been on the island for over 20 years and this was one of only a handful of times he had taken a group to kite in a westerly wind. We headed out to sea & upwind of the island to kite from a sandy reef. A boat launch saw us head off downwind for approximately 8kms. We kited this westerly wind for a few days, mostly in the afternoons. As the wind shifted direction to the seasonal South Easterly we had a lull day.
Fiona took the time to do a yoga class and then relax with a book in a hammock while George & Liam went on a fishing trip. George hooked up and landed a great sized tuna, while Liam acted as depth sounder with the aid of a snorkel and mask. Both George & Liam did a little snorkeling later that afternoon while Fiona took out the stand up paddle board for a great view of the reef in the bay just outside the lodge.
One quiet morning before the wind picked up gave everyone a chance to do some wakeboarding, but the rest of the trip provided a light wind downwinder in the morning followed by a stronger more consistent wind for an afternoon downwinder. Liam managed to boat launch and get on the water nearly everytime with his most successful downwinder being the last one when he would have made it home, but the lower tide meant he needed to be picked up before kiting back the lodge.
We can highly recommend Safari Lodge for anyone looking to relax, enjoy the company of other kiters, windsurfers and world travellers with something to do whether the wind blows or not. There was always a fishing trip going out or you could just relax and enjoy the weather, even George stopped for a breather. Warren, Stephanie & Alecci were all fantastic hosts and the Fijian cooks & support crew did an awesome job.
Accommodation included private rooms and bunk house style of a good standard you would expect from a cabin or quality backpackers. Food was traditional, mild, of great variety and plenty of it. This is a no more to spend kind of holiday except for a few snacks & alcohol at very reasonable prices from the bar. All fishing, kayaking, stand up, wakeboarding, yoga and downwinder boat trips etc are included in the one price. Really a kiteboarders dream and excellent for those who are up and going right through to advanced flat water trick riders.
We will be taking a couple of weeks next year to return in July and welcome anyone who would like to join us to let us know and book early for an excellent time.

The local kitesurfing scene has exploded over the past few years and The Sunshine coast’s recent results in the Australian National Freestyle Kitesurfing Championships held in Victoria reflect the skill level of our up and coming riders.
Local kitesurfers including World Ranked 5th Andy Yates & defending Australian Champion Keahi De Aboitiz excelled at the Nationals. Andy took out 1st in the Open Men’s while Keahi took home 2nd in the Open Men’s & 1st in the Junior Division. Although not even out of their teens, these guys are veterans of the competition circuit in Australia and did not disappoint the Sunshine Coast Kitesurfing Community with these results, but most surprising were the result of some of the coasts junior riders. Tom Ryan took 4th position in the juniors but of particular interest was 14 year old Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia team rider Lucas Hearn who competed in his first National competition and came 8th in the Open men’s Division & 7th in the Junior Division. These are great results considering his age and experience in Freestyle kitesurfing. Lucas came home to compete at a local competition hosted by Kite Thrills in Currimundi and won multiple first positions in the under 16 division. Coming 1st in the Freestyle, Big Air & overall under 16 years. Tom Ryan almost mirrored these results in the Under 18 Division.
Kitesurfing competitions are only part of the local kitesurfing scene and it is fantastic to see these results but most of all it is great to see these guys out having fun, enjoying the great beaches and waters of the Sunshine Coast. In reading this you might be thinking, great young person’s sports, but think again. The local kitesurfing community includes kids as young as 9 and adults in their late 60’s to 70’s all enjoying this exciting sport. Kitesurfing provides overall fitness and can be as adrenalin packed or as relaxed as you want to make it. What more could you want from your recreation time and how many sports can the whole family enjoy together like Kitesurfing?

The 2010 Nobile kiteboards have maintained their asymmetrical design which increases upwind toeside riding considerably. As always, we test all our boards and the Nobile 555 & NHP have really introduced new innovation again this year. With the usual honeycomb construction, wood core and super comfortable footpads & straps you come to expect from Nobile, these European boards are at the cutting edge again this year.

Here they are the new line up of Best kites for 2010 season. Best have introduced their new REDLINE bar as a bar option this year at no extra cost. This is awesome news for learning and for safety on those days you don’t want to hook up suicide.
Colours as looking very nice, so we have attached some info to help you select the kite which best suits your needs. We will have the Waroo demos in any week now andwe will be stocking Waroo and Kahoona with the Nemesis NXG available by order only.
Bali was enjoyable with George getting five days of kiting including one session at Legian, while Fiona kited for four days all up. The last day at Nusa Dua was by far the best session and anyone heading to Bali is welcome to give us a call for some info on good kiting options.
Bali is a big kite destination with Fiona enjoying her Rebel 10mtr while George couldn’t be shifted from the ever reliable Bandit Dos 14mtr. A few runs on the his favourite Slingshot RPM 12mtr were good, but just not quite enough wind.
Thanks to everyone for a fantastic social day of kiting at Lake Weyba. Great wind, great company and a great chance to catch up over a BBQ and Beer.
Thanks to Mark for these photos:
