For Australians August means winter is almost over and it's time to start thinking about the kite season ahead - trips, new gear, warmer water and wind.

We have a couple of kite trips right here in Aus over the next few months; one with BWSURF's Pete O'Keefe for beginners, and one with me for intermediate/advanced kiters who want to work on their wave skills. Learn some new skills at the start of the season so you can make the most of it!

For Americans I know August means something totally different, but if you're already planning for next season, check out the SoloSports Kite Weeks in April/May and September next year. The place is absolutely incredible and a buck-list destination for kiters, windsurfers and surfers alike.
