Hello,
How cold really is? (2.0 mm full wetsuit is it enough)
Is there consistent wind (Maui, Baja, like?) (plane charges for equiptment are expencive).
Is there a kite scene over there? surf?
Takk, Arturo.

It's 11c air and 10c water now. I can't imagine august being better, more likely colder. I'd take a 5-4, hood, booties and gloves.

I was there this time last year with my children & camera, no kite gear. We drove around ring road & I saw so many fantastic locations, many of which were flat water with strong wind, but never saw anyone kiting. Saw a few decent waves too. Everything in Iceland is hugely expensive, but it's a pretty special country.

Thanks, Tom and Bax.
I do not know if to buy a 5-4 wetsuit for just 2 to 3 sessions (only have a 2 -1). Plus the expence to take the kite there.
The hugely expensive part I am aware
, but I will enjoy the views.
Arturo.

A 3-4 mm wetsuit might cut it. But I'm kiting in 3-2 here in Sweden in July. Water is still 18c. Air 17-22c depending on the day. 56 degrees north.
Do your weather research.
I'd be careful and make sure you have contingency plans if shit happens.
If I had the time I'd take a 2 week trip and take kites, surfboard, hydrofoil and sup.

Hi Muri, I´ll be going there myself at the end of August. Thinking of bringing my kit. When in August are you there?
