hey guys, just got back from talking to the lifeguards after copping an earful off the lifeguards about the events that took place there today. one kid was taken out by an out of control learner kiter, and over 15 people at one stage were kiting in the no boating zone, and in and amoungst swimmers and even riding between the flags. so a headsup that they are having the water police patrolling over the next few weeks, handing out fines to anyone kiting without a PFD1 life jacket on, riding within 200 metres of the shoreline, and riding within 50 metres of another swimmer. (impossible to avoid)


maybe stick to other beaches for a few weeks until they settle down

there is a serious problem at aspendale on the warmer days as beach goers tend to spread out and don't allow any space for setting up a kite. when it comes to getting into the water there are people everywhere.

towards the end of today it improved with the beach just about empty. there should be signage saying that this is a kiting area like brighton

and over 15 people at one stage were kiting in the no boating zone, and in and amoungst swimmers and even riding between the flags

thats what you get for stupid behaviour. Really disapointing to hear

I hope kiting doesn't get banned at Aspendale. It is is my interest for all you attention seeking cretins to be penned up in one location.

If they do ban it at Aspendale then please please please go to St Kilda. It's the perfect place for you and exactly where you belong.

sounds like you got up on the wrong side of life gorgo.

the gnotuk crew are some of the friendliest and most helpful riders around. they are nothing like the st kilda show ponies (except maybe hookworm).

maybe its a good thing you ride at edithvale or mordy, you'd probably bring the vibe down at gnotuk.

I have always wondered about boating zones, how do you find out about them? I ride on the east side of mordy pier and it's great cause there is no one else there, come ride with me for a few weeks.

Also whats this about having to wear a PFD is that law? Where do i get this info?

East side of mordy pier? that would be the beach.................

North or south, both are good

Thanks 'HarryPotter' I think im sweet then.

Juggler - I believe the Mordialloc pier runs north/south thats why i say east side. But yea, the Aspendale side is better as less people on the beach and in the water.

Hope they don't start banning areas though it would be a real shame.

sorry stamp its hard being the best but the problem at gnotuck is the blow in's who have no idea dont ask quetions and rape the joint by not taking into consideration other riders and beach goers. all it take is a small hello to a local and there more then happy to lend a hand or give advise but when people turn up just for the day and have not respect for the spot or others thats what really pisses me off. I do apolagise to the man i had a run in with and we did talk and sort it out but the last thing i want is for someone to get hurt or the spot banned from kiteboarding and from know on if i see people doing the wrong thing there and refuse to listen i will be cutting lines and screaming words at you. sorry also to the people that blushed at the sound of my fowel mouth.

not one local was part of these 15.... that is the problem
