There is a caravan park right out on the point 40m walk to the kiting beach.

Many thanks Ang,I plan to be in and around Mackay for the Comp in June so have got a bit of tim to kill.Any ideas on where will be good,Caloundra seems to have dried up for the season so its time to give up my comfy bed and hit the road in the van again.

Hey Katoe,

i stayed at Bundaberg about a month ago and let me tell you if you go at the right time you will have the time of your life! No ** I kited 6 hrs a day for 7 days straight at Elliot heads and Bunderburg beach(behind Don Poncho Resort)I stayed at Don Poncho and walked to the beach almost every morning and kited! If you like wave riding then Bundy Beach is the way to go and if you like flat (like a pool) water then Elliot heads is the way to go! During my time there i experienced probably the most constant winds i have ever experience in kite surfing! I look at the graph now though and unfortunately I don't think the winds are going to be in your favor next week! But if they change you will have the time of your life. The wind there was so consistant i got to try tricks i have never tried before (toe side back rolls) i now can do rhem blind folded but unfortunately i tore my new Naish boxer 12m 07 in the process .

I did see some caravans at Bundaberg Beach while i was kiting there so suggest stay there and travel to Elliot Heads when you want too! But there was also a caravan park on the beach at Elliot Heads so you stay there too!
Anyways good luck and good winds.

Elliott is my local spot and, as others have said, it's fabbo. But, there's no wind up this way at the moment . There's a caravan park right on the beach there if you're looking for somewhere to stay.

Hey Sharkbait ... Sell the kite to a car yard for colourful bunting to hang around the yard perimeter.

Fitzy lol..... I've repaired it now and its as good as new! You wouldn't give you child to a car yard if they cuts themself!

Can i just give a big Thankyou to Will on the Gold Coast for the great job he did on repairing my Naish kite. I recommend him to anyone looking for great repair at a very very fair price!
