Coolum Kite Festival

I’ve been wanting to kitesurf for years now, ever since I first saw someone kitesurf at least six or seven years ago. I searched for locations near Saudi when I was still living there, I tried to find somewhere in Egypt which is a country I’ve never been to, since they have Hurghada and SharmElsheikh for a qualified International kiteboarding association, and did find one in one of them at the time… But for some reason or the other… It fell back to the back burner and remained a wish that was yet to see the light.

I finally decided that it was time, went to a store, talked to the people, bought a trainer kite and have been practising. Summer is around the corner, or has already arrived in the 30+ degree weather we are having now, so I needed to get ready for it.

There is an annual kite festival at a place called Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, about and hour and a half drive from where we are, and we decided to check it out… It was wonderful… We made a video of our trip, and I will let it do the talking.



It is, however… Not as good as this professional video, but mine is personal/blog.. His is professional… So please don’t compare… I already was not going to post it… but my lovely supporting encouraging wife convinced me that it was not that bad… Thanks honey
