Round the world kitesurfing trip

Hi,

So I've split up with my Mrs, sold our house, I'm fed up with being a slave to concrete and the monotony of work so I'm thinking of quitting my job and going on a round the world kite surfing trip.

Has anyone else done this? If so where are the must kite places that I should go to?

I guess Western Australia (I'll get a 12 month working visa), Cape Town and Brazil are a must.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Barry

You have to add New Zealand into you wish list.

Wind year round. Taranaki is one of the most consistant waves in the world.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. Looks like I have a little task to produce a rough guide for my lunch hours next week.
