you want to go to a spot where others are. if you get in the shiit then yourl have help.

if ur in brisbane then sandgate/brighton are the spots to learn at. It does gets crowded but the beach in between the two spots is usually not crowded, it just means you have to walk for a bit or learn to self launch/self land.

know how you feel about not getting in people's way but the north side of brisbane sandgate/brighton and the beach in between is good advice. I myself am new and have been all over the place, Victoria Point, Wellington, Sandgate & Brighton. The advice given above is good and you do want to have people around who can help if it all goes to s**t.

For GC spots you could look at the broadwater and then narrowneck for waves, best to speak to the guys at Surffx for advice.

Good luck - might see you out there.

I am in Edens landing at the moment, got a lesson for thursday cant wait! Might try broadwater to get up and going then narrowneck. Thanks for all the help

Hi, going for a few lessons next week, just want to know if there are any quite spots to practice after lessons that we wont be getting in the way of other kiters? Also anyone kite at any of the dams like wivenhoe or sommerset how is the wind there?

Thanks

thanks for all the advice. went for a 3h lesson at brighton bodydraging around and have another 3h lesson coming up. Keen to get out and bodydrag some more at vicky point or broadwater before the next lesson. Where abouts do you go in vicy point and broadwater to launch land etc? thanks again

Vicky point is alright but as board girl says there are a few obstacles ie boats( seen a few people coming unstuck by fly there kites in the rigging) sunken crab pots that are only exposed at low tide , these will do damage if your unlucky to hit one.
Avoided high tide to many trees to get hung up in if the poo hits the fan.
The crew down there are a good bunch and will point you in the right directions

Remember stay safe and welcome to the addiction
