The Kite-Wonderland that Time forgot

Located directly in the Roaring Forties and fully exposed the brunt of the Southern Ocean swells Van Diemen’s Land (aka Tasmania) has been on my radar for many, many years. Dutch Explorer Abel Tas-man, was the first European to set foot here in 1642, I followed the great pioneer in his explorer-spirit and my personal discovery voyage by van took me 7200km back and forth crisscrossing around the entire island. 7200kms is a considerable distance here, as the island itself is only 364 km (north to south) x 306 km (east to west) but I simply could not get enough of it. I had found kite-wonderland!

Here you can ead my Tassie adventure on 23 pages in Kitesoul Magazine!

Just choose your language: you’ll find the English version below, just scroll down for it or follow this link to the Italian version.

And here’s even more language options: Kiteboarding published a 10.5 page article about my trip in German, here’s another one in English, 10 pages in Kiteworld, the leading international magazine, or in French in Kiteboarder as well as in Spanish in Surf a Vela.

It’s an awesome place, you should go too!!
