hey guys, i wanted to practice abit more on flat water before i hit the ocean.
planning to hit up lake weyba this weekend and was wondering where about i go downwind without having to walk back in a SE and where i a place to get picked up and dropped off by car?

lake weyba is crap if u want flatwater go to maroochy or caloundra

oh ok sorry

There's not a great deal of merit in your plan. Just go down Eumerella and keep walking upwind.

+ shallow (don't think this means safer)

- gusty in all directions (best perhaps strong N)
- stingrays
- sea lice (actually nematocyts or larval jellyfish) itch like hell
- no convienient launches in SE
- submerged occasional oyster encrusted rocks
- shallow
- crab pots

If you must launch from an upwind spot in a SE then try:
UPWIND LAUNCH: murdering creek road: gweneth road: lakeside drive (to the west end): walk down easement to the lake; rig in clearing; assisted launch after walking way out into lake; don't try a solo drift launch yet

DOWNWIND PICKUP: Eumerella Road

Yeah Ann street to the pocket is gonna be sweet tomorow.

I tried to teach a mate there once - teabag city.
Some tips though:

It takes a fair while to wade out, but we found that out near the middle the wind was much less gusty. Does get deep tho about where the wind was getting better.

You *will* need an assistant to carry your kite out far enough launch - no wind/seriously gusty right next to the shore - so make sure you're rigged right before you go as it's a bastard to try to change your setup out in the middle.

Keep your eye out for golf balls on the bottom, I came back with 6 from 1 session.

Enjoy!
