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

Wow! Good for you
If I were you, I'd make a pilgrimage to Kite Beach ... and Hatteras ...

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.
