it will be worth packing the kite but whether there is wind is a hard say, its our off season but we still get the occasional fronts of 20knt winds so in two weeks you might kite heaps or not at all. regarding where to go depends on your riding style and experience, if your into surfstyle we have long open stretches of beach or we have 3 river mouths which work in pretty much any direction if the tide is right.

Always pack your kite!! The Maroochydore River is a great place to kite as is the Caloundra River Mouth. If you want some names and numbers of who to contact in the area, PM me and I'll shoot them over to you.

Great time of year for building sand castles. Don't forget a bucket and spade. The kite might come in handy, but the bucket and spade is a slam dunk.

Cotton Tree, located 2 spits, a drunkin crawl, and a kick of the footy from Maroochydore, would be the most probable choice.

There is enough flat water in the river mouth area & plenty of foreshore for your 'small surf & choppy water' style also.

About a 5-10 min trip from Maroochydore...

CAN EVERYBODY PLEASE STOP ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BRING THERE KITE TO THE SUNSHINE COAST WHEN IT SUCKS FOR KITING! Maroochydore sucks, there are sharks, box jellyfish, and killer dingos. Plus the water is polluted and there is never any wind. I recommend going to the Gold Coast instead.

Have to agree......sunshine coast sucks,why anyone would want to come here I'll neva know,the water is really pooluted as well,An since they started that nuclear power plant with the fallout going in the river, unless you want 2 heads I recomend the goldy or Darwin even better

I must have spent too much time in the water near that nuclear plant, as I think I've grown a second head... Oh, wait on, that's been down there for a while...

haven't been on the tiny window of NEs we've been getting - surfs been craking though - had such a session at North Shore this morning. Saw so many barrels that I thought I was getting tunnel vision.

All was good except for the nuclear waste in the water of course.

two years in a row i had two weeks straight in april/may around the sunshine coast (first time in noosa, second around gold coast)
The wind never came up once.

My tip - take your surfboard

The east coast is a mecca for eveything, best surf, best wind, best chicks, best jobs.... everything on the east coast is bloody fantastic.

Everybody please move there immediately. Leave all your excess sports gear at my place.

Hey guys - stop trying to increase your post count- that's just so 90's man...

Hey Rooey went out for a surf this morning with echostorm and Tony at 06:30 - 3 sessions later and luch at the coffee club in Coolum I've just got back home at 13:30. Yeah, my wife does know - she encourages it in fact - she rewards me with a BJ for every surf I have...

Have a bit of a gap in the building at the mo so making the most if it...
