Hey Sandrino
If it is blowing a SW, SE or S there is always people at Aspendale/Gnotuk Ave. Bunch of friendly regulars there, just introduce yourself.

See ya there, Thursday is looking good.

Cheers

Hi Twist! Is Aspendale working on a SE? I thought it's offshore....

Thanks guys! You've all been very helpful! I'm waiting on my gear which should be happening by mid-end January. I'm getting a 2013 TS and an axis vanguard board. Soooooo stoked!!!! For now just doing the lessons.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Cheers

Hey Nigel

Is there generally less chop/waves at Carrum than Aspendale or is it much the same?

I've done it, it is offshore, and wasn't ideal, but it flattened out the chop which was nice. Also according to the wiki it is fine: www.greenlivingpedia.org/Victorian_kitesurfing_locations

But yeah there are better spots to go in a SE

I wouldn't kite based on a wiki... Anything with too much east in it is not good at Aspendale it becomes too offshore, you need to head up to Mentone, it's works ok until it is even more easterly. stay away from Ricketts Point until you have a lot of experience under your belt...

As with any location spend some time watching the local crew, check out kite sizes they are using etc. if no one is out chances are the wind is not working at its best for the location...

Lots of open beach along this area so take some time and walk up the beach clear of the life saving clubs, they are pretty tolerant towards us and we want to keep it that way. Have fun see you on the water...

Hows Aspendale/Gnotuk Ave for a relative noobie? Forecast SW tomorrow looks promising, and as its atleast 1/2 the distance to either St.Kilda or Balnarring would like to give it a crack.
Im still getting the hang of getting up and going down wind and have kited Rosebus StKilda and Balnarring, but would prefer a more localised option.

Thanks in advance, Cheers Steve

Awesome advice! Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm new to the sport and have fallen in love with it. I live in the seaford area and was wondering if anyone kiteboards around seaford, Carrum or Frankston. I don't see any kites in the sky and was told never to kite alone... Anyone who would like a kiting buddy that surfs around these areas?

Any kitesurfing at Kananook Creek?? I hear its fully sick..

Lol, thanks for that CS. After my lesson today which halled me out the water onto the beach, I have no idea how people can kite in a creek

WT??? I think I'm way off from being able to do that lol. Thanks for the video, wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.
