Anyone got any wind statistics for Mannar? I see it is supposedly good during summer, but how about winter?

Didn't see the date - Punta Trettu being closed - my heart stopped. Going there in 2 months so...

Can only hope this means they will permanently fix it. Would love to go back, but even in 2014 it was so dirty I would never even consider it.

Emirates is 32kg (or 30kg depending on ticket). Can check in your kitebag as part of the normal luggage allowance. No issues.

Also heard from others Madagascar can be complicated. I would love to go, but have been advised to rent equipment because of the hassle with flying both to and on the island.

I am 108kg and use fast TT's they really make me feel like a lighter person and is wery important for big/heavy guys.
