NOBBY’S
KITEBOARDING GUIDELINES

• Know your ability, limits and equipment capabilities.
• Use a safety leash & quick release system on your kite.
• Consider others and give way to public on the beach.
• Always launch north of wind tower.
• Try & ride parallel to others rather than crossing paths.
• Give way to a kitesurfer surfing a wave or airborne

BE PREPARED – BE KITE SAFE

• Never kitesurf or land south of the new beach access
• Stay well away from flagged patrolled swimming areas.
• Never ride through designated swimming areas.
• Maintain a suitable safety buffer zone between yourself, surfboard riders and others in the water.
• Do not land in the Park
• You are responsible for your safety and the safety of others in your vicinity.
• Be insured by joining NSWKBA. Visit their website and follow the “Safe Kiting Guidelines”. Display your member tag to show you are insured.

IF IT IS TOO CROWDED GO ELSEWHERE





I would add to this that if you have a closer beach to go to such as 2nd creek Redhead or Blacksmiths then i would suggest that you go there rather than making the special trip to Nobbys .Nobby's is getting really crowded in a NE with kiters that live in Newcastle ,having others there that have closer beaches to them adds to the problem.There is a danger that kiting will be banned at Nobby's .
