Stockton has got it all, just depends on where you want to ride.

In a NE.

Up near the Break wall it’s flattish, with the wind being cross on going out on a starboard tack.

Just north of the flags the waves are a little bigger but the wind here is generally on shore, best time to ride here is on a low tide.

The north side of the rock wall (near the Pre School), it starts getting cross on going out on a port tack. The shore break here can be a pain for getting away and this is where the surfers hang out, as the waves here are at there biggest for the beach.

Any further north and it’s cross shore, but it’s a walk to get up there or takes time ride upwind there, this is where the fishermen hang out, but if you go further north than rifle range, it’s all to your self and it’s my favourite part of the beach if I can get there.

If you are going to transit behind the flags make sure you’re at least 100m out, (or kite at least behind the break zone). The Life Guards here are fairly cool with us, as long as with give the swim zone a wide berth, and no doing tricks, jumping behind the flags no matter how far you’re out.

The water can get a little dirty from the run off from the Hunter River, practically after heavy rain.

You can park right next to the beach at the pines; it has grass area to set up on and showers. The Café is nearby as well as the bowling club.

hey missy.i heard the only differance between kiting stockton & fraser island is the water is clearer & can see the sharks in the water,stocko has packs of hammerheads,hey browny... i think blackies also has...
if you get bit you might have some cool stitches to show hubby on the wedding night !!!!
daz ;) ;)well done on that too,when n wheres the bucks night??? huh

What I'm was thinking of doing was trying to have a social (welcome back the seabreeze) day, like last year.

I wanted to avoid Nobby's because it doesn't need any more attention drawn to it.

Maybe Stockton is our best option? Sharks and all??
