I am mainly at Applcross and Point Walter as I live just nearby.. Great places to learn but the wind is generally better on the ocean..
Great idea to get down to Safety Bay if u can .. The wind is genially more consistent .. I go there heaps and I don't feel too scared of the biteys as you are generally inside of the reef therefore not as exposed as other places in the ocean... Really worth the drive !!
PM me if u wana car pool and head down to safety bay or catch up for a sesh at Applecross/ Pt Walter ... I gen go mid week as i work weekends .
Cheers.
