Hi all,

I'm originally from SA & coming back to Adelaide this year for Xmas, I was just reading that kiteboarding is banned between West Bch & Seacliff - is this correct ?
Also I was planning on kiting some waves down south or mid-coast, are there any restrictions or bans down that way ?
& finally last question, general wind strength & consistency at Xmas time.

Good winds & Merry Xmas to all.

Yes, definitely check out the link posted above. It will clear the locations questions up quick smart.

Lat year wasn't the best season, but it certainly wasn't the worst. This year has already given some great afternoon sea breezes. The best of which usually seem to be north of Henley / Grange, though not limited to.
Get onto the SAKSA Facebook group, where you'll find the super friendly crew are all helpful and keen to help out!

Merry Xmas
Matt

Hi mate,

Regarding the Mid, Triggs, U turns, Anzacs and Seaford are good on a N to Nw. Moana is better on a SW to S, Southport is also good in a SW, but not as convenient as Moana. Please be sure to give the surfers down there plenty of room, and avoid the Seaford bowl if crew are surfing it. We also only kite Triggs when there are no surfers on it.

Regarding down south, On a NW to SW most guys kite at Rose St, just 400m East of Middleton. Goolwa is also a hot spot for kiters in onshore conditions. Please stay clear of the clubby flags and swimmers during the summer period. Sugars at the mouth is also a spot for TT's, but beware of the rips and currents that rip through the area. A few boards have been lost in this area.

Cheers Croc

Just wanted to say thanks to the boys I met up with at Rose Street, pity it was direct onshore but still great to get out at one of my old surfing spots.

Cheers, top
