Hey all. Just a quicky to see who is kiting up here in Mackay Queensland. We have had some top notch winds of late (25-30kts), and I have only ever seen 1 or 2 people at a time per beach. (We have like 4 different beach locations suitable for wind in just about any direction) Who's up for a big kite social gathering? All meet at the same bat beach, same bat time, maybe "throw another shrimp on the barbie" after. Feel free to let me know if you are just passing through.

The weather is only getting faster & warmer as the weeks go on. I would recommend you come prepared with your 14-18m, & maybe your 8-13m for the big days. Don't be strangers now!

Hey SupermanJnr


Good to hear the wind is up to scratch.

I'll be moving up to Mackay for 5 years from Sydney this November. What's the kiting like over Summer?

Either way I'll be keen to catch up with the local kiters. Might even consider trying a xxxx.

Try Blacks beach, East point or Town Beach. If you dont see anymore than 2 people most days you are riding at the wrong time. Saturday there were 17 Kiters sitting on the Beach at Blacks beach waiting for the wind. Want to meet some kiters drop into the shop and ask for Joe or Mel. Join our club even.

Hey SuperJuniorburger
I head through Mackay every couple of weeks on a tanker that that drops fuel off there. It'd be good to catch up with someone to kite with when I go through next.
