Why wouldn't you just go to Narrabeen Beach or Boat Harbour?

Narrabeen lake is not a great spot to kite only a few locals including myself go there it's more suited for a straight west wind but then it's gusty , lots of trees , launching is not easy in between trees , or you have to drift launch . If you get the landing wrong your in the trees .
You would be better of at narrabeen beach for a north east wind it will save you 30min in the car as we'll . If your still keen for the lake pm me your number and I can give you the run down . And the lake is very shallow as we'll you would end up snapping out your fins on a race board .

Forgot to mention that I saw a guy get dragged over a car and down the car park back in 2002-3.
Had gravel rash from head to toe.
Was windsurfing at the time on the northern end of the lake where the scouts are now located.
Pretty sure there is photos of kites in trees in the windsurfing section of this very spot.
Am sure the pole dancers would have had a good laugh at the tea bagger.

Ok, on a NE I would launch on the sand spit,walk through the bush from Jameson park.
Very shallow twin tip only.
the wind has to be just right or your kite will fall out of the sky.
Better in ENE
To much north and it won't work.
Have kited on the east side of the sand spit.
Over the last few years have only seen a few that go on a WSW And launch on the northern side.

In saying all of this ,in my own experience it's not worth the effort. That's the very reason you don't see any locals outt there.
