That's awesome.
Share lots of pics and make sure about the provided kites before you leave yours home. I always like to bring my primary gear with me on trips, even if it is provided, and maybe just plan on their gear for lightwind sessions. Just nice to be on gear you know, but you can reduce your baggage by leaving extra boards and kites home. 2 kites, 1 bar, harness...then use what they have. |

Is your friend accepting applications to be his/her friend? That is a very generous invite!!!!! I will check with a friend of mine who works there and find out about gear for you. Stand by for the answer. _________________ KB4C!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have all the gear you will need. They have typically had Cabrinha but now they have some North Kites too. They did have one foil board there but only the one so you might want to bring a board bag with your foil setup. Also, it is recommended to bring your own harness so that you have one that you are used to and fits appropriately.
When are you going? My friend will be there soon for another contract and perhaps you will be there at the same time. _________________ KB4C!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been on necker, never invited, but I've bareboated down there before. It's a pretty cool place.
If you scuba the RMS Rhone is a worthwhile wreck to check out. |

You know, that is so over rated. You have to go up a couple of kite sizes and the model never balances her weight properly. |
