waydo77 said...hey just thought id start a thread about any decent size lakes,saltpans or even waterholes that would be big enough to kiteboard in or have been kiteboarded in?
just sum nice ones with no trees to run into.... any suggestions? and what are the usual ones?
goood windz......

hey waydo,
fresh water lakes seem to be a bit worse for wear at the moment, however if you want flat water and good winds, try anywhere from st kilda to pt clinton. that will cover alot of the wind dirrections, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW, N. port clinton was great last weekend on an easterly.
we find that even though the wind sometimes is beyond 30 knots, the water at low tide is glass.
also its too shallow for sharks
if the winds too light we landboard when the tides out.
lets just hope it rains soon and we can use some of the lakes again.
also i havent kited there, but they say theres a lake at burra which is sweet (when there's water in it.
good luck,
james
