Track down Chris ( Kitefish ) he has a place in Turkey and knows the spots you can kite at.

Search for his posts to find out more.

What you want to know? I have a place in Kas (which is not great for kitesurfing), I do spend a fair bit of time over there and know a few good spots.

I like mine with Stuffing and gravy.

Or should that have read - "I like gravy while I'm stuffing mine".

Goodness only knows what wooly-back lovers get up to on sundays.....

Of course if you'd stayed in the Buell fold (sic) there would be less speculation your sexual orientation.

Ok I admit it, I'm bored at the moment

I know one bloke called Rod who lives in Kalkan, he,s a big chap and mainly windsurfs and kites at Calis. Whats the kiting like around Antalya, you have some great beaches down there but a bit packed in the summer. Whats the wind like in the spring and autumn? I reckon there could be great potential for kite centre down your way. I have kited on the beach at Finike, not bad either.

Hey Kitefish
Yeah u right, the beaches down here do get pretty full during summer which makes it impossible to launch kite, but we have an incredibly long coastline here in Antalya, 2 areas basically, Lara Beach and Konyaalti beach, sand and 2 long long beaches. Their is potential down here for kiting, but nobody kites here, thats how i find it difficult, i did my courses last year, did 10hrs at Calis Beach with an instructor called Taner, and havent kited since due to me being so busy with work. But i just got an Ocean rodeo 1,8m trainer which im gonna start flying and get a bit of practice until next summer ill doa few more hrs course, maybe 2 or 3 hrs and then kite loads next summer up in fethiye as my in laws have villas up their. Anyway if i see a big dude called Rod kiting or windsurfing, ill know who it is then. How often do u come to turkey then?

Cheers
