Hey guys, just moved back to Melbourne and have started work in Mordialloc. I have been bringing my gear to work with me and heading back up to the beaches closer to the city afterwards, but I see Gnotuk Avenue is an option. Anyone got any advice? Is it busy enough that you can be confident of getting a launch? Seems better to go there than drive for 30 min before being able to get out!
Cheers
Hey Lost
Yep Gnotuk is good. The launch site is a bit sketchy for self launching (small beach - lots of hard objects 
)
I have found the local crew to be really friendly and a launch is usually not a problem. Worth a punt on your way up to the more populated beaches.
Cheers
nar gnotuck is crap and all the guy's are big gay leather wearing bikies who love new people. just kidding! awesome spot friendly crew thats always there wind or not.

Are you for real junglist? you have got to be joking, how much room do you need.
Some top riders there, yep and always helpful.
bring beer if u go there.... it really helps for your launching/ landing the next session your there
Cool. thanks for the replies. Went to Brighton this evening, living in Richmond but working down in Mordy, I thought it looked pretty dead onshore at about 4pm so I just headed back towards the city. I will remember the beer. Since the guys are all big gay leather wearing bikies I'm sure I can get away with some Light Ice? 
I was under the impression that Gnotuk Avenue is an accepted spot, otherwise I would walk across Beach road and launch downwind of the pier... but that is probably bad because of the SLSC. Also, its nice to have people around who know what they are doing to help you out if you get in a jam if something goes wrong.
nothing wrong with mordy at all HTFU cross the road and kite...just stay away from the flagged area......... If you are not confident that you can self rescue, launch and land or get yourself out of a jam then dont ...... and head up to Gnotuk...
weird population of kiters has exploded at gnotuck know heaps of new faces and everyone seems cool but i'm yet to taste a sweet beer from one of the new riders 
IT IS A AWESOME PLACE WITH HEAPS OF GOOD GUYS, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHY HOOK IS PUTTING GNOTUCK ON THE MAP DONT WE HOOK??
hook i would bring a beer down but last time i did i some really strange angry guy came out and i told me that his name was darryl and he lived in kuremburra and that i should not bring beer down because it makes him really really angry
Don't worry Hook, come and kite up at Bonbeach mate. We have a BOTTLE SHOP on the corner. Any new virgins on our beach have to do the walk of bottle o'shop.
just did a down winder from boni beach to gnotuck and it was awesome sunny ,windy,heaps of familier faces waving to me and saying hello now i know how alex sanz feels every time he goes kiteing or skiteing at bondi. and yes we do have a very handy little bottle shop on the corner dont we burley, and for those newbi's its located on the nepean hwy bonbeach!
Hey lostinlondon... I live at Parkdale and go out at Mordy a bit. Water's not always the flattest when it's windy, but does the job. I usually launch in front of the next carpark along from the SLSC where there's a couple of big wooden pylons on the beach. Feel free to PM me...
Cheers, Bert.
