Does anyone go to Bells Beach or Woody Point Beach (Contarf/WP) in a SW? It doesn't look like there's much shallow water but the beach seems to face in the right direction with lotsa water for the SW to go over before it hits land.

Bells is actually pretty shallow at low tide
woody point is rocky but a fraction cleaner wind wise...
both are gusty tho,
Bells is the more popular one because of the sandy bottom, better rigging, and its a little flatter...

anything over 20 knots and the wind steadies out and the usual reddy/brighton crew turn up if we all havn't run off to bribe.

last year i remember 3 or 4 good days with 10 or so kites out max...

Thx R. Yeah I live in Jindalee so Bribie is a bit far for me most of the time. I'll give it a go sometime though.

UGHHH!!!
I went to Wello and sat on the beach with my Waroo 14 in the car. Staring jealously at the guy out there on his 9m Waroo (Vlad I think)Had a bit of a go with a mates 12m Waroo, but it was too much after a while. Now I gotta save for a 9m as well!!!

Maybe Brighton tomorrow

The Pin sounds great Paulio but unfortunately I'm out for a couple of weeks. Work is sucking me in on Saturday and I got visitors next Sunday . I've been reading your guys stuff on the pin - sounds awesome. I'll give you a call in a few weeks when I can get out(ughhhhhh that hurts to say that). I'd love to go!
