Anyone fancy joining me for a mega Downwinder on Sat arvo. From West Beach to Largs?

Low tide about 1.30, so anytime after that.

Yep.....should take a couple of hours. It'd be ideal to catch it as the tides starts to cover the sandbar leaving that sweet flat Gutter running all the way to Largs

Anyone interested, meet about 1 in the carpark just North of the Palais @ Semaphore.

I have a 3 seater white Ute, but i'm sure we'll figure something out with the Transportation.

Sorry to butt in....

I think you mean meet in the car park just north of the Largs Bay Sailing Club.

The council doesn't want kitesurfers using Semaphore Beach to land.
(And if you're doing a downwinder to Largs Bay, its a long walk back to the Palais)

Don't you hate those internet nerds who have to correct every little mistake.....

Thanks Mick.

I was wondering what the Semaphore council's thaughts were on Kitesurfing. (Is that the Port Adelaide Council?) You are allowed to kite past there though right?

Cheers
