Not trying to start any rumours here, but my non-kiting boss said today that he saw a new sign at Wellington Point on the weekend saying 'No kites allowed past this point'... and it was on the road as you come down into the park area!

He also said there was wind, there were sailboarders out, and there were no kites anywhere to be seen.

Can anyone confirm this?

There's a sign there but it only refers to the reserve area.
All setup, packup, launching and landing is supposed to be done below the high water mark like on the beach or the sandbar only.

If there weren't any kiters out, there's always a good reason for it - those guys never miss a sesh when it's blowing...

Sign's been there as long as I can remember also... If you set up anywhere on the grassed area, children's beach, park area etc., and council catch you, it's like a $375 fine... The aim is to set up on the sand area, and on the beach below the high tide mark (seaweed line) etc. If you're fast enough setting up, and getting your kite out mate, you most likely won't get caught.... Anything higher than a 1.9m tide, you have 2 set up on teh grass or beach... it's just got to be done fast....

you poor bastards

Is any one at all surprised by this looking back a SM,s swimmers post!!!! Attitudes have gota change!!!!
