I have to spend the next 2 months in Wagga and wanted to know what Batemans Bay is like as its probably the closest beach from here

where are the kiting beaches

what wind conditions are suitable

if/when do the seabreezes start kicking in

also im happy to car pool with canberra people on weekends to go get our kiting fix

PM and we can sort something out

Just ask tobes........ha ha he loves new people visiting his local spots

Been a while since I saw you up here Hook, too cold and rainy last time?

The NE seabreezes are just showing signs of returning now, it's been a long crappy winter. Look for NE and SE. A good place to start is eeluorB spelled backwards (that might keep me out of trouble)
Best PM me for spots, but the whole south coast is about the same distance from Wagga (kn miles away), check out Gerroa, Lake Conjola and Merimbula/Pambula.

nothing will keep you out of trouble when matt and presto see you are giving directions again.
you are daed taem, fool

The one with the treacherous currents and knife sharp rocks and big trees for catching death spiralling crossbows.

Hi leeds

There are heaps of great kiting spots all along the far south coast.Make sure you come down to Merimbula its a awesome place and has excellent kite spots for both N/E and S/E winds.

I have a some good Merimbula info and pics on my String Monkey School website

see here stringmonkeykiteboarding.homestead.com/testimonials.html

Merimbula is only 2.5 hours from Canberra

If you need any other help of info please drop me an email

Cheers

Pete.

Try igniB, ognoC, Moruya River Mouth (couldn't be bothered spelling that backwards). They are all great spots. I heard that Nelligen river was also a good spot to kite, just look out for the house boats.

if you kite at broulee make sure you wave share with presto , he loves it , i do it as often as possible

Kiting at eeluorB [thats hard to write] sounds great iam moving. otserP got nothing
yevoL get ready to be mr mum again do you want to sell your cheap kites?

yeah, $1800 each and they're all yours

There is NOTHING sexier than a man standing on the beach holding the baby while Mum goes kiting. NOTHING. It's the new coffee group. Go "Mr Mum" I say.

I used to live in Wagga,what did you do to receive a 2 mth sentence in Wagga .Going to Batemans bay is a mission about 5 .5 hour trip .Good luck .

just finished my 5th week in wagga with another 8 to go

in the process of changing jobs and have to do the 3 month project management course

its not that bad here (not that great either)

I went down to Tathra, Merimbula and Eden the other weekend (cause perisher was raining with lightning storms) and they looks like awesome spots just a shame i didnt have my kites with me then

i guess when the seabreezes kick in ill be doing a lot of driving

thanks for all the advice guys

is the seabreeze forecast pretty accurate for the south coast?
and where on the BOM website is the best forecast for that area?

The Seabreeze charts are a pretty good guide, usually a slight exaggeration and tend to reflect how it blows offshore a bit, but generally the best thing we've got.
BOM - Coastal Waters forecast - www.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/coastalwaters.shtml
Coastalwatch has a webcam.

Well then Tobes, Pete(*2) and myself will be the hottest things on the beach this summer.

Not Matt though. As if he'd miss a kite session to hold baby...

Baby? What Baby?

Fark that... You guys are lame.

Who are you calling lame Biggles?

We caught Biggles watching The Bold and the Beautiful the other day, now that's lame!

As lame as not turning up at the (...) on Saturday for 20kts+ !.. Instead most likely at home watching me from a Web cam with kids !!! NOW THATS LAME

By the way, "B&B is a Prime Time Porn Delight".
