Me and a few mates did a bit of a reccy down south on the weekend and boy was it worth it. We explored the coast about xhrs south and found heaps of good set ups with really nice beach breaks with proper surf. The were a few locals kiting and they were all super friendly so if you are all freaking about the crowds in perth go for a drive.

We are also going to talk to Waksa to put on a WAVE event for the start of next season let us know if you wave guys would support an event down there and we'll get happening.

thanks Nev
Heading down there again on Sunday with some more crew
ps just removed the distance from perth to keep the locals happy

Yep, I know the one, we are heading there next week end with 3 cars and 14 crew!!!!
Gonna be awesome

I was actually looking at coming down to the above mentioned spot next chance I get but it's just me and a mate and we aren't interested in pissing anyone off. Cheers for the heads up on the local rules eppo.

I have kited this place in last 7 years, and as far as I know was the first to kite it or indeed kite it regularly. There are generally 5 other local kiters who regularly use the spot.

lol. ^^^
Sorry eppo ...
but I was the first kiter to ride waves at this spot.
And before kites came on the scene ...I was the first to windsurf it.

Yes Peter you were. But I kite it more than you and have done for years now. I leave the other spot to you

There will be issues with the surf club, surfers, and beach walkers. It's a narrow width of surfing area and always straight with a bad ending if your gear fails. Not just for your kite but the surfers there too.

You my friend are just a frother....


Crowds really suck, what else can be said ... Learn with your mates face to face not on then lotsa friends Internet

As for surf comps... I'm not a big fan maybe you could have it at trigg... That's a surfing reserve ay?

Now I have a calm cool head but my brother doesn't so beware. I will do my best to keep him calm.

My brother is bigger than your brother.

Troll???? How nasty!!
Doesn't really matter coz once you give it a try once and lose a fin on a rock you realize it's crap and should just drive to margs for a real surf!!!

On a real low tide you can still see it trying to break!!!

Something to do with the Ancient Egyptians....

I have decided Gibbo has a point, my tone was too aggressive and this doesn't serve any purpose. So here goes, going to start again...

Mr Nasty: The ocean is free and if you wish to drive all the way down here and bring ya mates down for a kite in cross-shore straight slop this is your perogative.

Please remember it is a small area, with an extrenely dangerous groin, that we share with swimmers and a life saving club. The critical mass numbers wouldn't be very high.

I also explore many areas up and down the coast, from exmouth down to denmark, even albany but i would never post a distance, direction or driving time. This was naive. Word of mouth is fine and you will be most welcome if you do the right thing, but broadcasting across the net is a stupid as putting your party on facebook. I hope you realise the error of your ways.

We understand that crowds in metro are getting fierce and it is only a matter of time before the numbers increase in such places.

I have spoken to the Clubs president (a friend of mine) and he will let me know the good and the bad. If you do kite here and the 'bad' occurs there may be someone who gives some frank advice on the necessary standards.

Hope to see you down here some time Mr nasty, so we can have a good old laugh about this one! Apologise for the aggressive tone before, but my edicts still stand.

Cheers

eppo

Quick! everyone use google earth to locate the groin and post it up on this thread and as many other threads that have nothing to do with it.

Beaches should be restricted to kiters with proof of residence.
If it's not your postcode you shouldn't be there

Ahhhhh don't do that............Id be left here all alone with the sheep and Dolly and Baaaaaarrrbra haven't learnt to kite yet.

What a waste of all these fantactic waves and great wind
