Are there any riders in the Port Hedland area? Im coming up next week for work and want to stay active when im not at work. Im staying in/near town and would love to see what the kiting is like in the shark infested waters

Spoil bank is the spot.
There's usually a few guys there if it's worth it.
Such a beautiful place, have fun up there.

Yup that's the place! Don't forget your boots as the corals are pretty sharp!
Tides are massive as well as the crocs!
Check the sign at the entrance for the last sighting!
Watch out for the turtles!

Have fun!

It still is. I have to pass through there every now and then. Get in and out as quickly as i can.

Port Hedland is far from the back side of the earth. If u do a fifo stint there and spend most of your time working and living in a ****ty camp then yeah its a hole.
If you live there for a bit and get to know the place, its got some of the best fishing, spearfishing, camping and even kiting in WA.. That and the locals are a friendly bunch unlike most of the selfish assholes that have found there way to Perth these days.
I am not up there atm but keen to get back and get some warm spearfishing and kiting in! I usually only take up a 15m and a 10m.

I can only assume that this is a troll.

always seem to get out at the spoil banks when i am in good old Heland

Heard headlands an oresome kiting spot

Cheers guys!

Found some boys who are just starting out. Not much wind on my 1 day off a week but still hopeful to get at least one kite session in. Looks like a really good spot at the spoil bank, the wind just seems a little fickle.

Ill be bringing 15m up for the next swing. When does the wind start blowing stronger in the afternoon instead of the morning?? I need to get onto a night shift to make use of the wind thats come through
