Kitesoul Magazine #17 English Edition

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Tasmania.
Since it’s only an hour flight
away from the urban delights of Melbourne,
where I‘m writing this now,
I really wondered how wild it could
possibly be.
It didn’t take long before our flight
started to make its approach down to
Hobart runway to get a better idea.
Even from the plane, you can see
places all around the island that are
on a par with loads of the world’s best
kite spots – from the Hood River to
Sandy Point in Perth. Tazzy’s a gift
for kitesurfers and surfers alike. The
aim for our mission was to suss out
as many good kite sessions as possible
and see what this beautiful island had
to offer on our journey. Wild camping
was on the agenda, so having loaded
up our trusty budget hire car, we
embarked on a journey on Wednesday
afternoon to our first stop, which we
thought would work with the wind direction
for the following day. Friendly
