I'll be staying in Goolwa in a fortnight. Basically next to main beach carpark. I've never kited there, and haven't been to goolwa for years.

Anything I need to know? I saw this: kiteboardingsa.com.au/sa-kite-surfing-locations/locations/
I don't have a car, so I will just go for a walk along the beach. Just to get out of the way of the swimmers and surfers?

I'll have my surfboard (unstrapped) and can probably only bring one kite - was thinking maybe my Ozone Reo 8m? Should I go bigger? No wind roses for around there, so hard to tell how much breeze to expect

Wetsuit - 4-3 or 3-2?

I'll be staying by myself so if anyone wants to kite together, PM me

Goolwa will be fine fella, plenty of wind around at the moment and were usually on 8-10m kites with surfboards and heaps of room to find your own spot. A number of us kite up Middleton way and victor harbor - all great spots

Nice little session this morning. But I was a bit under cooked on my 8. Hindmarsh island graphs were green arrows. Does it tend to over read? Or is it just the difference between Tasmanian wind and south Australian wind? I would never fly a10 at home with green arrows (on my surf board).
