Hey Da Chopper,

Check Lauries Tide Predictions, if tide shows high for the time of day you want to ride, then there shouold be at least 18 inches of water in the shallows, if tide says low, expect 6 inches or less ....

Good winds,

deepness isnt the issue.

number of kooks is.


simple rider etiquette.

1. Dont turn inside of people when heading out.

2. If someone is comming into the beach to do a trick, get out of the way.

3. Don't take ages turning around at the beach.

4. If your riding back and forth not doing anything don't do little frikken 50m tacks in the zone where everyone is doing tricks, (better yet go onshore side or melville).

Agree with Carb's rules except the woodies crowd is normally prety on to it I have never really had a big prolem there compared to other spots.

Today was madness i counted 18 kites up. Think there could have even been more.

Carbines rules are pretty much spot on.

Stay as little time in the zone as you need
Dont stand on the shoreline kite at twelve put kite down or move away.
Kites on the way in have right of way

5. Dont sit directly downwind just behind someone else!
TAILGATERS suck wherever they are. giving someone 2 friggin kiteline lengths is not hard.

If your tailgating cause "someone isnt going fast enough" TURN AROUND

I don't think it's Illegal I just think it may be on the wrong night.

Down here the locals are only able to set nets on Wednesday nights.

May be wildly inaccurate on this though.

Where do you report the fkers that reckon northside is OK to teach brand newby body draggers
Right thru the zone - direct offshore - 1km upwind of shark alley
Its almost sad that all that happened was an uneventful but inevitable swim in. Lucky. (this time)
You gotta seriously question the existence of a brain dont you

Remember that kiting is fun. If you bitch about others that means your not having fun.

hey Andyy
Im not bitching & ur right - I am having far too much fun to bother starting.
Just trying to spread the word on safe kiting.
A tad harshly put I guess but the guy in question was "spoken to" by at least 2 kiters warning him of his stupidity but he chose to ignore them. Reckon he had it coming really.
Hoping that the straight talking (posting) may convince others that 'offshore' is NOT training ground for newbys.
