Published: Oct. 7, 2017, 12:05 p.m.

b'Count on the Australians to come up with some "kick ass\\u201d idea to go wind-and kitesurfing in some remote and \\u201csick" locations. In this episode we take you to the Houtman Abrolhos Islands. They are located around 80 km west of the Geraldton ( mainland Australia) and next to getting very consistent strong winds, they also get a massive swell origination in the Southern Ocean. It is well known as the site of numerous\\xa0shipwrecks, the most famous being the Dutch ships\\xa0Batavia, which was wrecked in 1629, and\\xa0Zeewijk, wrecked in 1727.The islands are uninhabited with the exception of some fisherman. As a tourist you are not allowed to stay on the islands so the only possibility is to stay on a boat. Every year Mick organizes a 3 days\\xa0wind and kitesurfing \\u201cexpedition\\u201d to the Islands for like minded fellow water-sports and wave addictes. We talk about the trip , what to expect, the wind conditions\\xa0, some of the spots, \\xa0and some other\\xa0interesting and funny topics.\\n\\nENJOY!!!!\\n\\nGoogle\\xa0Map with Pin Points and Time Stamps\\n\\nhttps://drive.google.com/open?id=1EKlrGkistx9A3bWcJtMUTBxWTqI&usp=sharing\\n\\n\\n\\nCONTACT DETAILS MICK\\n\\nhttps://www.facebook.com/IndianOceanAdventures/\\n\\nmicksteffan@yahoo.com\\n\\n\\n\\nSubscribe to the podcast:\\n\\nwebsite :\\xa0http://herebedragons.earth/subscribe/\\n\\nItunes :\\xa0https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/here-be-dragons-kitesurfing-travel-guide/id1207572419?mt=2&at=1010lHcy\\n\\nAndroid podcast apps:\\xa0http://subscribeonandroid.com/herebedragons.earth/podcast?format=rss\\n\\n\\n\\nOutro Music courtesy of PEEZ @\\xa0https://soundcloud.com/peezismyname'
