Simple:

1. When walking try NOT to fly the kite over the road.

2. Help landing and launching others

3. Turn OUTSIDE the white makers (which are 50m from shore)

I hate posting this sort of "rules" stuff, but Melville can be tricky and dangerous. The local "guidlines/rules" whatever, are there for 2 main reasons: your own safety and to keep our spot happening for us and future kiters.

And finally, today a learner dropped a kite on my head..........I was really pissed off about this....of course he was wearing a helmet. The situation could have been dangerous if Mr. Learner had been gusted because I was between the kite and our helmeted friend, in the lines.

Melville is funky and the wind can drop to 5 knots and shoot back up to 20 knots in a flash.........its called a gust and can be lethal.

My rant for today, enough said.

melville is getting to be a dangerous place to be of late with kites hitting the water like a flock of feeding albatross . sure its a great place to learn but if possible can you learn a bit off aways down the beach and not in the middle off every one please !!!!!as it is only a matter of time before someone gets wipped out and thats when the real trouble starts . come and enjoy but play safe
