I'm just wondering: who do we owe the beautiful signs we have on the beach now?
KBV / the city ?

I like them, just missing the priority rules on the water (would be something new to learn for some of us )

KBV was working with Bayside Council for some time on this. Also working with City of Port Phillip re. signs for St Kilda.

I'll do it tomorrow, there is two signs (one at each end of the beach).
To summarize it reads (freely adapted): "you bystander watch out! this beach is not yours, it belongs to these mad fellows with their colorful machines. Watch your step don't walk on their lines or you might get hurt and it's going to be your fault because you can't say you didn't know!"
I don't like these signs, I love them

Hi

yes it would be good to see a photo of the sign .All we have is the lifeguard sign that says no kitesurfing .The sign goes further up the beach every day and swimmers and surfers just ride out into the bit we have left

Does anyone know anything about the yellow markers (no boating) with a cross on them round the bay. Quite a few along the stretch between St K and Pt Melb.

The Surf Lifesavers are saying it is illegal to kite between them and the beach - cuts out a fair bit of the area.

Apparently people have been pulled up and nearly fined?

Does it not relate to FINA with some long distance swimming event?

No, these markers have always been here, the question is more: does these marks dedicated to boating apply to kitesurf as well?... in theory yes.
