In response to a recent kite incident (no one injured) and related media coverage the WAKSA team are putting together a 'site guide' for publication on our website : www.waksa.org.au
The guide will include all relevant info for both South Beach & the adjacent C. Y. O'Connor Beach & including 'Crazy Waves'.
Preliminary information provided suggests that kiters should only use South Beach as a launch & land zone - if at all. Session kiting should be practiced outside of the walls.
The best, and safest, launch and land area is the area immediately south of the first groin. (NB: If it is westerly or high tide this area may be unsuitable).
Using C. Y. O'Connor Beach would avoid all possible problems and is a more convenient access point for the better kiting areas eg Crazy Waves.
This is all preliminary advise. WAKSA would welcome input from any/all kiters who know or use the area regularly. Members and non-members are invited to contribute.
