Thanks!

Hi Rt.
Are you the guy with the 12m Rebel at Nobbies? If so you left your bar and lines behind, Theyre now with the Lifesavers.

We moved to Newcastle a month ago and me and my 13 yo son are very keen kiters. Been seaching for a bit of flat water as he's just at the edging the board stage. We had a really good session up at Hawks nest last weekend (jimmy's beach) but its a fair drive from Newcastle. We were a bit surprised there was only 3 other kiters out. Been checking out the southern end of stockton in the lee of the breakwater in a southerly it looks like it might be ok. (any thoughts?) He's had the kite up at Nobbies a couple of times in a NE But we're not used to that many kiters in one place. We are definately spoilt in SA for good spots. We would prefer to ease ourselves into the scene and not be an extra hazard.
Im fairly sure there have been more shark attacks between merewether and Bar beach than Stockton if any at stockton.
someone got bitten today at Nelson Bay, might go do hawks nest, its seems safer wherever theres a great white feeding ground
