Hey all, went to Whitfords beach today, or to be exact first car park north of the roundabout. As i am a noob and trying to work out how to get up wind, i thought this was a good place to kite without getting in the way of everyone at Pinaroo. Anyway when i got back to my car my drivers side window had been smashed in! Just wanted averyone to keep a lookout for these little ****s as i am pretty pissed off and want to know where they live!!! Was between 3.30/5.00

That place is notorious for that sort of thing. Just check out all the broken glass on the ground it's everywhere. It's the same sort of thing at the carparks between City beach n Brighton. I think its such a shame that where and when you kite is dictated to a point by these little bottom dwellers.

If I was a noob trying to learn to go upwind (knowing what I know now), I'd do a huge downwinder , Scarbs to Mulla's ?, all the while, trying to go upwind. By the end of it , you just might have it dialled. Not my own idea, read it on a forum somewhere. Could save you a lot of time and walking backwards up the beach. Cheers , J

I've had my window smashed 4 times now, I think I've learnt my lesson. Mullaloo car park 1st and 2nd. Also Mullaloo surf club car park and Trigg. I just leave my windows down now with nothing in the car, problem solved, well kind of. I caught the pricks doing it one time. 4 guys, 2 stay in the car, 2 get out and run through the car park smashing all windows that they see something worthwhile in. They did 9 cars at the mullaloo car park. Cops finger printed my car but it's a waste of time. We need guns, big ones. Paris

Hey Matty,

It's best not to kite at Whitfords Beach as it is a dog exercise beach where there can often be horses. We get dirty on the dogs and horses for coming down to Pinnaroo so maybe best if we stay off Whitfords. Besides it gets really busy with general public and animals up there.

Sorry to hear of the carpark issue. Pinna's isn't near as bad as it used to be, probably because there are so many people coming and going regularly. I'd say come to Pinna's. Council want the kiting to be confined to Pinna's so it looks like it will be that way in the new coastal management plan. They have done a fair bit to improve Pinnaroo. Now if they can just get the disgusting ******s out of the dunes and dunnies it will be perfect!

Cheers,

KH

many ppl learn at pinna's matty, every1 knows this, especially the regular crew there, and i am yet to see competent kiters upset having to deal with learners, in fact i think its the opposite, your better off at pinna's where there's people about who would help u if u happen to get in trouble. i'd consider myself a competent kiter but i've found myself in a spot and thanks again AKS for savin my kite! and me! (not sure if i coulda swam that far!)
