Hey hoping I can find some sunny coast kite surfing noobs to learn with etc. Free several days during the week as well as some week ends. Think i should pick it up fairly quickly :S

Hi Guys
I'm very "time poor" at the moment and struggle to find time off and wind at the same time but I'm keen to get out. Net really the best season for consistent wind but see how we go. PM me when you're going out.
@ dwobblering: happy to help launch and give a few tips as long as you've done some lessons

Hi Guys
I am still mastering body dragging. I am trying to get some more experience before my next lesson. Booked a lesson at agnus waters but there was no wind.
I am a nurse and generally have days off during the week. If anyone wants to help me out as I don't know people in the sport except instructors. I am willing to travel within a 4hr radius of hervey bay for a day trip.
I have lost a bit of confidence. Had varying advise about buying a trainer kite.

Hey Anna,

if you are still keen by August 31st one of the kiteshops down here in Brissy is organising a kite camping trip to inskip point/rainbow beach for that weekend. it's free to anyone to come along, only cost is the camping permit. There is often lots of gear to try etc and heap of people to chat too. should be fun. and hopefully there will be wind! not far from you either.

Hey all,

I've been kiting for 10 years. Not a Noob I guess . Happy to help anyone at any level. I have trained up quite a few friends over the years. I'm no mega-looper though, just enjoy mowing the lawn, the occasional big boost, having a fun, safe session and a beer after..

Once I move to Buddina I'll probably be on the lookout for downwinder partners - ie get together, drive 10kms? upwind in 1 car, kite together back to other car, pack up, drive back and get other car.

2 catches: I've not yet moved to new house at Buddina - need to sell current house at Brighton first.
Also very time poor due to a small child so my crossover between time off and wind blowing has been small lately.

Come October maybe I should be sorted and keen.

Hi Dave.

Me and a buddy do that run often. Shoot me a message when u are finished moving. We prefer to take our time and maximise the run but would be good to get a few more kiters in the mix.

Yeah they call that launch spot S-Bends, it's prob the easiest spot to launch from with the grass setup area and a good patch of sand directly below. I usually launch there or just up from the surf club, kite down as far as I could be bothered walking back and start again. Good stretch of coast with not too many rocks.

congrats on the house, best suburb on the coast I reckon. We're moving over there when our current lease is up.
