Favourite places to kite and Why !

Downwinders in the surf anywhere on the Sunshine Coast,

Supa uncrowded,no need to go upwind,

heaps of kickers for boosting,

heaps of waves for carving

Can have supa shallow banks in close near the shore,

Can loop over the beach,

Crystal clear water

Can cruise around an island

Cruising around Headlands

Can cruise up rivers,bit of flat water boosting,

Play in between the shore and the second shorebreak,insane fun

Fast directional changes,boosting ,poping over the shoreys,looping,

Racing across sandbanks as the water drains off and goes dry

Supa flat water between the whitewash

Go downwind for 40 km if you want

Land your kite on the beach ,pack up and catch the bus back to where you started

Relax,have a rest on the bus,

Then pump up and do it all over again

You dont jump on the bus wet and sandy,

By the time you pack up and walk to the bus stop ,your almost dry

fold your kite up and wrap your harness around it with your bar and lines inside,

nice neat little package

There were 7 kiters with all there kites and boards on the bus the other day

take your Gocard they are waterproof

No need to take any money

We get wind but not like in Dongara,

but I wish it was stronger,

mostly 12-25 kts

Would be perfect if it was 32-40 kts twice a week

25-32 kts twice a week

and 18-25 kts twice a week

and 15kts once a week

I like riding different size kites

Sometimes the winds from the North and sometimes from the South

NW WA. Enough said.

oh, I'm from NSW. LOL....

Boosting begins at 30+ knots. Any less and you're really just mowing the lawn. Sunny coast is pretty though, and the surf can be fantastic.
Crystal clear water at the Noosa river mouth is pretty special.

The best downwinder in Australia Hands down is on the South Coast of W.A. along with the best beaches in Australia.
Cape Le Grand national park all the way along Wylie Bay to Kelpbeds, or pick pretty much any beach east or west of Esperance.
Take your 4x4 and get your missus to drive along the beach with refreshments!!
If you dont believe me next time you fly on a plane fron east to west (or visa versa) look out of the window around Espy and you will see why.

Zanzibar - warm clrear water - steady wind and NO SHARKS (they've all been eaten)

Sunshine coast sounds good gokid, whereabouts exactly ? Dunno about Esperence, unless you want to become shark food.

Lol Hayden's a dick like lol......

Another really good spot to kite is the northern end of Bribie Island

The wind needs to be SE to ESE, best ESE

Launch at Caloundra Rivermouth and head down along Bribie Island

You may need to tack a bit,or you will run out of ocean and end up on the beach,

I usually go to the lighthouse then turn round and head back ,about 8 km there and back,

Waves are evenly spaced and is supa smooth water between the whitewash and waves

not really a downwinder as you finnish where you start

So many kiters I talk to on the Sunny Coast have been kiting the same place for most of there kiting life
