Does anyone have any advice about kiting in Dams. I had 2 lessions at the sunny coast (maroochy river)and the guys were happy that I could Kite Board (very competent wakeboarder). First 2 times I went out by myself in the Maroochy river was a bit daunting... Lessions were in a channel in Maroochy river, so I didn't have current or waves to deal with. I live in Toowoomba and don't get up the coast a lot in winter. Does anyone have any advice about Kiteing on Dams. Some around this area have sailing clubs at them, Does this mean it would be good for a 10M RPM Slingshot?
Thanks.

hey josh,
kiting in dams can be very sketchy and risky, but it can also be loads of fun and you are often dont have to worry about crowds.
Before you go out make sure you know the spot well, look for any dangerous objects on the water and on the beach. Also if there's any hills around the dam it can make any wind gusty, just make sure you dont go past your limit and it is alot safer if there are any boats/jet ski's that could rescue you if you get in a bad situation.
have fun and know your safety system!
