Damn I didnt know that, cheers for the post. I've been kiting at port during the week because I can anchore my kite to the north facing fence for a safe unassisted landing BUT I havent dared kite at port during the weekend cause of the masses of people.

The safest stretch of beach at Leighton is the 250m just south of the overpass, north of the overpass is the crowded dog beach!! I'm sure this issue has come up before.

White men can jump! (With the help of my 15.5m Titan.)

Cheers for that.

Oh,
I forgot to ask if there is a marine and harbours or similar website that shows the zoning and seasons etc to keep outta trouble.

Cheers,

I drove past Port Beach and Leighton on Sunday. There were several kites flying at Port Beach. Obviously not everyone is reading these forums.

ian, i know its not such a great place to kite around, but where are the red flags flown?!

How come the NUDIES are still allowed on the beach when the red flags are up?

Can I have a pot shot or two at your Foil, Just to see if your right?

i tried to do the right thing today and went to the dog beach just in front of the foot bridge. After inflating my kite, I began to sort my lines out when a bull terrior decided to climb on top of my kite putting a rip in on one of the outer panels ( I only just got this kite soyeah, I was pretty pissed off). I approached the bloke who proceeded to threaten to "punch my teeth out" and "pummel me". He suggested that I move down the beach towards the surf club away from the dog beach in a bit of an impolite manner. Ive been following this thread so I told him that we werent allowed down at the surfclub. Apart from being an absolute ****wit, he did raise a point during the confrontation. Theres just as many people on the dog beach as there are at the surf club...even more...especially during a hot day like today. So wouldnt it be more sensible to rid the notion of a restricted area and just go where its least crowded?

Hey Dan I agree it seems totally insane. It would be great if we could have the 500m or so deserted strip between Port and Leighton. Take a close look at the signs and you will find that at a point about 300m before the footbridge and the dog beach is where "surf craft" are allowed. This seems to be a reasonable enough buffer between us and the doggies...
