Great to see an event like the gravity games coming to Perth.

As a local resident and kiter of many years I can assure the organisers that there will be no sand covering the rocks at Cables until at least late December or January as it takes several weeks of strong sea breeze to drag the sand down from Leighton where the North Westerlies deposit it every winter. This leaves you with just a very narrow very sharp rock reef full of deep holes as those of you who surf it will know.
If I might suggest Dutch Inn again with another visitation to cottesloe council. SOS had a small event there last year that I helped to judge and the is an excellent elevated viewpoint,sandy beach launching,smooth water inside, parking, a large grassed area and groin [upwind] for photos and spectators.There might even be waves, certainly more likely than the artificial reef which needs 2.5m swell and low tide. Temporary loos can be set up. The council have been very pleased to work with the organisers of the 'whale bone classic' every year, which is surely a much bigger event and in a much narrower fore shore reserve.

I hope this helps
