Mine was pretty good!
I had a 2hrs session in Carrum in the northerly wind in the morning. I started on a 12 and changed pretty quickly to 9.
Warm, good wind and heaps of little kickers rolling in from N. I was the only one in the water for half the session until one other fellow kiter rocked up and enjoyed the wind.

Heaps of guys doing a down winder and passed Carrum and I was wondering if they sit out the change and than going back?

Unfortunately towards the end I messes up and lost my board. So I landed the kite on the beach and went for a long swim to retrieve it.
Still a very good Saturday! I tried to get permission for the afternoon....but it was refused by the boss....

Carrum in a northerly? That's interesting! If I had known, I would've come down... Beats driving to rosebud... Launch and land okay? Small beach... I'd that the one close to Keast park?

Low tide 20m beach in the morning. There was a bit E in the N wind and fairly gusty but it changed to a true north. Certainly not a ideal wind for a beginner.... After the change it was only 5-10m beach left but you can launch on the grass and walk down.

As a beginner I absolutely loved Saturday in Rosebud! Yesterday I tried St Kilda for the first time... scary thing for someone who is still learning! Heaps of people and heaps of them are learners... it only took 20 minutes until a guy crashed his kite on mine.

Any other place (even if it's a bit further than St Kilda) where it's not that crowded and suitable for beginners? :)

Hello PKtito,

unfortunately, St. Kilda is probably the most suitable place for beginners, other than Rosebud. This is because that whilst it is crowded, it has a deep beach and is 'learner friendly' or rather 'friendly to learners'.

I had a great session at Roesbud. Far too many people as usual so I went a few KM further north and pretty much had the place to my self.

Didnt get out until 11am and was a little underpowered on the 12m. Had to work that sucker pretty much constantly until I packed up around 2pm due to other comitments.

I would say it was my best session in Melbourne this year.... happy days
