G'day all,
Do any of you fellas kite down the back beaches? Rye , sorrento, portsea way?
which beach is your favorite??
Ive found a nice one sorrento/portsea quiet no one goes there just the odd surfer.
cheers cam

Ahh ok
The spot. Found which looks pretty neat is franklin rd sorrento
Has a nice sand bar along the beach i went there to try and fish but shes not to flash
With that sde of things.
That pic of gunnas looks sweet how do you go there in summer she gets fairly packed
By memory.
Nice looking gutter for a fish hehehe.
Id love to come and watch next time yous go out?
Cheers cam

Damn thats nasty.
Shes a fair old hike.
Took the kite there once for a muck around two boards and gear
Sucked walking back lol
not as bad as your mission back though.
How did you start in the beginng out in the surf?
Having on shore wind just start along he edge in small swell amd work up?
Im real keen to give it a proper crack once i get anpther kite for lighter wind.
Should get more oportunities to get out without driving miles.
And dvds you could recomend?
Cheers cam

righty'o
I wouldnt be going out untill i got the other kite and know how she handles
and im back up to speed.
And go out in some nice conditions.
I think id try to keep to the smaller swell if possible.
Not to stressed about the waves done a lot of water sking and wakeboarding etc in crap conditions haha makes a stronger skiing is my theory lol

all info taken on board dont want to bite off more than i can chew.
thanks for the info
cheers cam

ok sounds like good advice.
The beach i had a muck around with is pretty much like how you explained.
its shallow allong the beach from left to right with a small gutter almost on the beach. its pretty much one big sand bar that goes out about 50 meters but from left to right for a couple of hundred meters.
and then out further it gets deeper where the waves are bigger and break.
so for the stuff in closer its just small fluffy waves which are fairly easy to negotiate.
so i could practice in close and as experience comes i could go out further where the waves are bigger.
only going to do it with a southerly as its straight on shore and if it turns to crap i'll blow back to the beach.
cheers cam
