Hey guys,

Im travelling through Perth mid-November for work and will certainly bring all of my gear,

What would you recommend as a good location for a newbie (not kiting but ive never been to a WA beach) in that area?

Any issues with security?

Ill have a car and can travel for a day.

Thanks

Leighton beach - Great for SW (main wind in perth summer) - Huge beach for landing and launching and not many swimmers as they all tend to go down to cottesloe beach - No issues with security.

You can do a long downwinder from leighton beach to trigg beach or city beach that takes roughly 2-3 hours

Another popular spot is Melville water. This is good for beginners as the water doesnt get deep until you are about 100m off shore however on windy days it is absolutley packed and the beach is not built for setting up kiting gear. The good thing is that there is heaps of people to help you launch and land. Watch out for the pure noobs learning down the beach.

Woodmans point is apparently and excellent location however I've never been there

Pelican point is a second river location in perth metro. However i would advise against not going here as you do not get blown downwind into water, you get blown into trees. There is a small peninsula that runs perpendicular to the wind which can in most situations be very dangerous.

Point Walter is a great location for an easterly wind. It's basically a sand spit that runs out on the river about 300m. If you have balls of steal you can attempt to jump the spit

Hey,

have a a look at www.waksa.org.au/locations/

Woodies is good with more options but there has been a lot of car break ins there.

happy kiting.

safety bay, premium spot south of the river

and there's pinnaroo point north of the river, but it's not as good

Awesome thanks
