Great to see Narrow Neck being sailed in windy conditions.
Was there much sweep on the beach ?

If the swell is small there is not much current. Its the shore dump that can be lethal. Just look for a spot where the shore dump is a bit softer often where there is a rip.

I think people used to sail here? what happened ? too many kiters or the rip tide?

I still sail there but usually a bit north at the Marina Mirage car park.
It can be good but often only the first day of a big southerly or SE.
2nd or 3rd day too much sweep or swell gets too big.
Not too many kiters and there is a load of space so no chance of crowding!
Ok on a NE as well but they don't seem as strong at the North end of the coast the last few years.
