Kite Rite in Yorkeys Knob, Cairns Regional Council, Australia | Kiting

Kite Rite was established in 2000 in Yorkeys Knob,Australia by local Kiting enthusiast Chris Rose. Chris developed the Kite Rite teaching system. Once he had learnt to master the kite and developed his own system of teaching, Chris augmented his skills with an International Kite Surfing Organisation [IKO] course. Not long after that, the water re-launchable kites came into production and Chris was keen to start his own kite surfing business.
Scouring Australia's coast, Chris found Cairns, and to be more precise, Yorkeys Knob, in Tropical North Queensland. Receiving constant south-easterly trade winds from April to October, Yorkeys Knob was the perfect place for Chris' new business, Kite Rite, to start. Today, six years later, Kite Rite has established itself as the premier Kite Surfing Company in Australia.
