Does anyone know of any spots (on the sand or nearby grassed areas) around City Beach and Oceanus restaurant that is protected from the sea breeze in summer late afternoon? Seems wrong asking for no wind!! hehehe

..... maybe

Yes I do.

From me,
Best wishes for the bride and groom and may there be a perfect 20 knot seabreeze for the occasion.

Far out.

Hmmmmnnnn... which end of a twin tip should we tie the tin cans to

WOOOHOOOO
Way to go guys - but U cant leave me out of this one !!!!!
If Missy is to be logged-off - officially off limits - I wanna be there to see it happen.
If its a private affair then pm me - this is a MUST-B-there if ever there was one.

And I know a Professional Wedding Photographer who gives Kite Surfer Special Discounts!!

Congratulations

Hey Missy,
Congratulations on the news :)
City Beach is not very protected at all. There is grass South (up wind) of Oceanus but no wind break and no particularly pretty backdrop either.
North (down wind) of Oceanus has some grass protected by some wispy trees, which are hardly enough of a wind-break to stop your hair and flowers blowing around etc. and offer real wind protection.
There are no protected areas on the sand except perhaps for a tiny section immediately North (down-wind) of the main groyne and right at the water.
There is a large oval over the road from Oceanus but I guess you want a beach backdrop.
None of these offer an ideal option.
Can't think of any other spots along the coast that would be better off the top of my head but will have a think and get back to you if I come up with something.
Unfortunately beach and wind-protection are generally mutually exclusive...

PS, hope your trip to the States was fun :)

Hey Jess,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Looks like I will have to look at an indoor option and maybe play it ear on the day, if the breeze isn't on that day, then we can do it outside, if its on, inside for us?

Or a pretty crazy idea... maybe we could just have a few BIG kites setup to make some kind of wall to block the wind???? That would be cool and very different!

The states were great... seems so long ago now though!

Puppet, you'll hear all bout it... its still some time off yet, fill you in by water at Melville at Christmas.

Your certainly not planning anything!!!!

Jess knows this because she has been planning her special day for some time now???

how bout on the beach @ kitestock?

Actually I know the lay-out of City Beach well because in autumn and winter when there's no wind I go "thrashing" on my bike along the path there and always stop for a drink at the fountain.
So there you little gossip-mongers
