Are you stupid? Or don't like kiting? Of course you should take your gear!!

Its a pretty twisty road to kite along mate!

If you don't take it, there will be plenty of wind and opportunity to use your gear. If you do, you will be angry because there is no wind and no opportunity. So you're screwed either way.

I wouldn't bother mate, it's not really worth it. The victorian coast constantly blows all over the place 5 - 30. Very few launching areas, and lots of kite eating sharp reefs.

When you get up the Torquay end of things there are a few spots. Or you can get around the corner to Ocean Grove.

But Portland end is lots of cliffs from my memory. Apollo Bay might be OK. Same as Lorne, but probably too busy on the beach around Xmas.

If you re willing to go to Robe, little bit further, I reckon long beach is really good.
Personally I also think Robe is the best spot on the coast between Adelaide and Melb.

Hey Daz

It doesnt matter what we all think because Kath will have the final word.

But do the GOR in first week then head back up the coast second week, better trip than Hume.
