Are there only girls on the Road2Adventure ChickSmile Tour?

The trip is primarily designed for women, with 7 guests plus Patty, the owner of Smile Kitesurf and organizer of the event, who will also join as a kite instructor and will be taking amazing shots of everyone's riding! The only male participant is Joe, the owner of Road 2 Adventure. Joe is originally from England, where he worked as an outdoor instructor and gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in adventure sports and the natural environment. Known for his laid-back personality, positive vibes, and extensive knowledge of the WA coast, Joe is also our driver and kiter, bringing impressive knowledge of the WA coastline to the adventure. We couldn’t do this tour without him!

Do I need to arrange my own flights?

Yes, guests are responsible for arranging their own flights. Our adventure begins in Perth, so you will need to book your travel to Perth.

Similarly, you will need to arrange your departure flights from Learmonth Airport, near Exmouth, where our adventure concludes.

Detailed information about the meeting point will be provided before the trip.

Do I need insurance to join the trip?

Yes. Participants are responsible for arranging their own insurance coverage, including kiteboarding-specific insurance as recommended by Kiteboarding Australia. Detailed instructions will be provided upon booking your spot.

How big is the travel group?

There will be a maximum of 9 persons (including the driver) on the trip.

What should I bring?

Feel free to bring all your kitesurfing gear – the more, the merrier! Unsure of what to bring? No worries – pack it anyway. The bus is equipped with beginner surfboards, snorkels and inflatable SUPs for sharing, just in case we have windless days.

We will send you a 'Packing List' prior to the trip to help you with your planning.

Do I need a sleeping bag?

Nope, bedding is all included.

How much luggage can I bring?

There’s no luggage restrictions within reason. However, we will draw the line when you try to bring a couch or kitchen sink! A large backpack or suitcase and a smaller day bag is quite normal.

Can we do laundry on the bus?

We do not have any laundry facilities on the bus and so we recommend bringing enough underwear and clothing to last about 9 days.

Is food included?

Food is pretty much the only thing NOT included which allows you to plan your own meals together.

When we meet on the first day we will go to the supermarket and stock up on food before leaving the city. We usually all put $100 into a group food fund to buy ingredients to cook evening meals together and for basic items to share.

This makes shopping cheap for everyone and helps to save space in the fridge. Everyone will need to sort out their own lunches and breakfasts but can use the basic shared items like milk, cheese, butter etc to save buying it just for themselves. We tend to stop at supermarkets every 4-6 days.

Who does the cooking?

You do! Everyone is encouraged to chip in and take it in turns to cook and clean up either in pairs or groups of 3. Whoever wants to cook can cook and those that don’t feel confident can just do the dishes. We’re all adults and travel as a group of mates so share the responsibilities.

What’s for dinner?

The menu is up to you as a group. We encourage cooking healthy and hearty meals to give enough energy for the following days adventures. NOT your typical ‘2 minute noodles’ or ‘tuna pasta’! We have a full kitchen; hobs, grill, oven and a BBQ so you might as well treat yourselves!

What if I’m Vegan/ Veggie or have allergies?

If you’re vegan or veggie we usually just cook the same meal on the side using substitutes and extra veggies. It's far more sociable and less chaotic if we all cook and eat together. If you are allergic to anything then make us all aware and we can shop accordingly.

Where Do We Sleep?

The bus is set up with bunk beds so everyone can sleep inside in their own bed away from the dirt and creepy crawlies!

What Facilities Are On Board?

The bus is fully equipped with a flushing toilet, a hot shower as well as power and USB points for charging your phones, laptops and cameras.
