Hey guys,
any spots you know like lakes or nice flatwater bays along the east coast from wollongong to sunshine coast that are good safe and shallow for beginners and for working on tricks... away from crowds??

In Sydney:

towra point, across from dolls is good at low(er) tide, long way from home if you have to swim it though

kurnell is good except for the rock groynes

up north a bit from Sydney there is the lakes on the central coast which are also good

Have a look at the "kitespots" on www.nswkba.com.au a lot of new central coast locations have gone up there recently.

Last weekend I kiting at Picnic Point, near The Entrance (about 30mins south of Newcastle. It was a strong westerly, the location has large launch and is knee deep (mud) for about 200m into the lake. Nice flat water.

Lake Weyba near Noosa - perfect for beginners; nice and shallow but you'll need to wait for the SE winds.

Lake Weyba is an excellent learning place but SE must be fairly strong before going otherwise it can be frustrating. It's really shallow all across and is a place where a lot of people learn.

Glahonthebay,

How do you get to Towra Point? there seems to be a service road just passed the sharks club, but it is private access.

I notice alot of boats hang around the beach there on weekends... but i dont have a boat.

Always wanted to kite there in a norwester. I would just never be able to tack back over to dolls.
