Cas,
I live in Freo also and am at the stage of starting to jump. But I'd be wrapped to have someone to go out with, and besides you'll be cruising upwind in no time! Unfortunately I'm pretty stuck for the next week or so
The family are visiting me from over East, plus work is a bit of a killer at the mo
. But I'm sure I'll be able to get at least one surf in next week
(the weekend is looking doubtful
).
I work in kwinana and normally get to Woodies by 4.30pm on a weekday. I reckon woodies is fine for learning, just means a bit more walking when the wind is onshore. And the last few days it has been really quiet (where has everyone been??).
If you're looking for somewhere good to learn this weekend, on a safe beach with other kiters around to help and are willing to drive a little, Safety Bay is perfect. But don't tell anyone! Park at the Penguin Island car park, you'll see all the kiters there. That's where I spent most of my time learning and it's perfect. Cross to slight onshore breeze blowing to a point, so worse case you get blown to the point, stand up and walk! Seabreeze typically kicks in there a little earlier than Perth too.
I'll email you my contact no's.
