Hi Byron local kiters,

I am in your town now on holidays. I have a 8m, 11m & 14m with me and a wave twin tip. The wind was good today and I only saw 1 guy out near broken head on a 9m bws kite. The swell there was probably a bit above my pay grade seeing him in over head high waves and couldn't see him when he was out the back because the waves were too big. I went and had a look at broken head surf break and it would have been perfect for me but I'm pretty sure the 50+ surfers out there would have had something to say about me pumping up.

Is there anyone kiting around the area over the next week that I might be able to meet who can show me some kiteable places? If you get back to me with local place names remember I'm from that cold place down south so I won't know any of the places by name.
Thanks in advance.

Definitely keen mate, had a surf yesterday but haven't pulled the kites out in over a week. Got a new harness and having warm water nearby is making me edgy to pump up! If the wind gets up I'll get in touch or you do the same.

Hey mate, Thursday/Friday looks like there may be enough wind for my 15 and I am thinking of going to the pass (don't exactly know where that is lol), cheers for the info and will keep you posted.

Hey Brohan, the wind is looking ideal for tomorrow arvo! Thinks it's either the pass or belongi depending on the direction when it arrives. You still keen?

I went for a kite today at the pass, wind was light but had 2-3 runs, tomorrow's looking good.

Hey mate heading out to the pass now with my 10m core kite hopefully there is enough wind.

Hey guys

A Brissy kiter here.
I'm heading down to Byron for the weekend, looks like there will be a pumping northerly on Saturday
Never kited at Byron, and been researching where to, local rules etc.
Will the Pass and Belongi be the best options?
Also, I heard somewhere that to kite Byron beaches you need $10,000,000 public liability insurance for land and water, eg. AKSA (Australian Kite Surf Association) or IKO membership compulsory. Tag must be displayed on harness. Is this correct??

Thanks in advance
Cameron
