And do people really get annoyed with beginners at the pond? I mean, everybody's got to learn.. I can manage myself a bit now, but even if I didn't.. Now I just want to go there and annoy some people haha!
Yes - if you are trying to learn on the inside, especially at the closed end. The end part is where a lot of tricks are practiced and if someone is floundering around in this zone, everyone who has lined up in the circuit has to cancel their trick and do another lap.. it can be very annoying and kind of spoils the vibe, and for someone to learn right here is simply inconsiderate and realistically dangerous when its busy.
but.. no problem at all to come to the pond and learn on the outside of the sand bank - its still flat and shallow, more space and learner friendly, or as NickT suggested - up the road at Shoalwater/Penguin Island.. just a minute drive further up.
