Drop by the shop, all the locals hang around. Just need some wind in the right direction! When summer comes its the best location in Melbourne.

That would be great, My partner and i are pretty keen to hook up with some locals for a session on the west, we normally go to rosebud, inverloch or brighton..

Send me you're contact details if you want to hook up sometime..

Does Altona work in a sw? Looks like it would get too much interference from the land in this direction

Altonas an awful place to kite.

Dependant on the tide, and those sea urchins.

Oh BTW if you fly cabrinha - trees border the entire beach.

Best place to kite is St K.

WTF!?? You have no idea what you're saying. Hmmm actually nah you're right. Stick to StKilda and let us locals have the beach to ourselves. Go on skat!
