hi cliffo,
padi seems to have summed it up about the train except to mention that it works in the prevailing southerlies and northerlies throughout summer and you'd better be fast.

although there is a cross section of all disciplines here and a great bunch of guys and girls.
in winter souwestas and also in summer for a bit of chop, you can go to shearwater park at runaway bay, but stay upwind of the kiters and all will be cool.
regards ian.
