Hi all,

I thought I should warn anyone who is coming to kite in australind that there are some broken in glass in the water right near the take off area.

I put a big hole in my heel today which will keep me out of the water for some time.

Take care

Cheers,
I was going to kite down there next week...... as well as work. I gather the take off area is just off the grassed section past the park? Hopefully won't have the same misfortune.

I was swimming at Noosa river mouth yesterday with a mask on and found a broken bottle in the shallows just waiting for a victim and saw a giant ray cruising in shallow too so look out where you walk !

Well, I learnt my lesson... whenever I kite there again (it is my local spot) I'll use boots... I'd highly recommend anyone to use boots there. It is not only broken glass, there are also sting rays, cobblers, and fireweed.

** Styzles, yes the take off area is just off the grassed section past the park.

Have fun everyone.
