It's a place where we can swap contact details etc so we can hopefully meet up at the beach, learn together, go on downwinders together etc.

Ladies, if you haven't checked it out yet, jump on and check it out. Gentlemen, please let your ladies know about it...

Is Sandgate better than Brighton and vice versa?

What's the secret? What other fun, adrenaline filled activities do you get up to during the winter?

I'm thinking about moving to goldie for a year or two to work and kite.
Problem is I haven't found a good spot guide for the area, so I don't know where to go. The only site I've found is http://www.seqka.com.au/page/kiting-locations, which basically says it's supposed to be good north of south port in the canal.

I'm a pretty average rider, been kiting for 3 years, prefer flat water and wakestyle friendly spots.

Is it possible to kite on all wind directions around that place?
Which season is best/worst? Is it windy kinda all year around or only during spring/fall?
And how many days of good wind do you get on the Gold Coast per year?

All I know is that Gold Coast good for surfing, but I've never really heard if it's a good place for kiting as well.. so please enlighten me =)]]> SurfFX http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-East-Queensland/Surf-FX-Port-Douglas-Trip-Want-to-go/?page=-2?src=rss#1023569 South East Queensland / SEQKA Thu, 10 May 2012 14:15:34 +0800 http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-East-Queensland/Surf-FX-Port-Douglas-Trip-Want-to-go/?page=-2?src=rss#1023569 GregTheDane http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-East-Queensland/Sunshine-Coast-which-kites-to-bring/?page=-2?src=rss#1020779 South East Queensland / SEQKA Mon, 07 May 2012 07:07:55 +0800 http://www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/South-East-Queensland/Sunshine-Coast-which-kites-to-bring/?page=-2?src=rss#1020779
I am a guy from Denmark doing a school exchange on the sunshine coast from july until new years. Hope you will help me out on what gear to bring down to maximize my first australian kite experience :).

Been riding since 2006. I weigh about 85kg and ride a 132x42 TT on the flat and I plan to be riding the spots north and south of maroochydore. I am about to buy the RRD obsession pro (c-kite, 20m lines). I plan to buy and bring down the 9m, 10.5m and have not decided on the 12 or 13.5 yet.

One thing is looking at windcharts, but what are you locals thinking on whether to choose the 12 og 13.5 meter as the biggest kite, considering my weight? Thing is that I usually prefer no bigger than 12 (more agility and fun), but I am willing to go bigger if you have many low wind days - this again being from july until new years.
Any risk that I would be unhappy without a kite smaller than 9m? :)

Very new to the kite scene, had 1 lesson looking to finish off the second one with a setup of my own. Guys at surf FX have been looking after me so far. (probably buy through them as they are competitive on price for new gear)

So... Looking for a closer spot to self learn once I am competent to kite without my instructor watching out for me.

Anyone else in the same boat? I'm in Brisbane city, days off during the week and weekends!

Any advice on where to go or anyone keen to ride greatly appreciated!

Im commencing a project up in Bowen shortly and will be spending a bit of time up there over the next few months. Just chasing some local knowledge regarding kiting locations around town....do / donts, stingers, etc.
Staying around Queens Beach area, can you kite here?
Kings Beach looks like it would work?
Alva is only 130km north, so ill be doing a few trips up that way when time permits, but wanting the low down on local Bowen spots in and around town.
