Was thinking about kiting safety beach but from looking through the forums here
most people go to frankston on a westerly?

Anyone heading there?

Shark Bay now known as Safety Beach.....

Worx from Nth all the way to SWS wind even if your lost on the bay off Blairgowrie to McCray you will be able to self rescue &/or drift into the aptly named safety beach that has a history of drunken sailors washing ashore, just watch the cliffs @ base of Mt Martha where the men in grey suits hang out.

How was the session yesterday? Looks like the wind was pretty good with a bit of a dip around 2pm.

I looked wistfully out of my office window....

I kite safety beach when holidaying down there. Can be awesome but depending on your skill level can turn into a nitemare. The beach isn't very wide and depending on where you are you can land your kite on the power lines from the water. It's probably better towards the yacht Club as I think the power lines are further back from the beach. The westerly's there tend to be a bit dodgey too and if theres a little N to it making it on shore, in marginal winds its a pain to get off the beach and away from the trees/powerlines. Defiantly better beaches to kite in the bay.... but if your confidant and don't be stupid you'll have the place to yourself!
