It all depends if you live south of Burleigh or noth of Tugun.

yes i believe it is,it was not published because of overcrowding,even the lifeguards must encourage it,i even noticd a buggy/skateboarding dude rideing on the beach as well.

there will be one more guy there tomorrow------me

No I do not believe the original agreement most kiters made nearly 2years ago was lifted, I shall make a call to some people in the know from Harbours and Marine.Keep posted

We shall also be calling a
Pre-Summer General meeting shortly, a few have mentioned maybe combine a video night with nibbles and ales,anyone got any ideas on this??

i may not be the brightest,but Wot Th Flock do people who abuse people suddenly change their mind and consider it right for themselves and not others. These people shud be named and shamed if their fullof crap

watch if the crap hits thefan itil be there fault

good call user. the poelple who winge too much about the alley should just chill the F@#K out!! most of the kiters who kite there are local guys anyway.these are the guys that have been brought up in the palm beach area since they were kids!! so its a bit weird when someone from the other side of town tells you that you cant even play in your own back yard?? its all about common sense i reckon if theres a big crowd at the alley then its probably better not to kite at the alley, but if theres jack all people on the beach i cant see what the big porblem is. more people should appreciate the buzz you get when you kite and not dwell on something we all know is not going to change!! "people will still kite at the alley",regardless of what is said and done. for the people that rev up about it should just come down and kite and relax a bit.

Well since Paulio has decided to use my name and there seems to be quite a bit of confusion out there about the Currumbin Estuary it is quite obvious to me that some basic forms of communication and procedures have not been implemented to solve this confusion. Although this is not my job as Paulio is now the president of SEQKA I feel that this matter needs to be clarified.
Yes! There is a self regulation from kiting within the estuary due to the fact that the speed limit is 6 knots. This is south of the 6 knot sign on the rock wall. In most cases when you are on the plain you are travelling over 6 knots.
When I got back from Mambo 2005 QLD Transport had started a report into kitesurfing at Currumbin. This was from a writen complaint from the general public about reckless kitsurfing in the 6knot zone of the Currumbin Estuary. At this time they had already decided to stop any kiting at Currumbin.
I decided to form the SEQKA in a effort to stop us from being banned from kiting the entire area, including the outside section (North of the 6 knot sign) Currumbin point break. So after several meetings with Maritime safety and going over several solutions together we came up with this:
You are allowed to rig & launch your kite on the beach at Currumbin, common sense should be used at all times and you should still follow "CLEAR".
Once your kite is in the sky you are allowed to walk until you’re in line with the 6 knot sign on the rock wall and then enter the water and tack out into the waves.
Now this still may be a bit confusing for some and if you are one of these people, please feel free to contact me and I will provide you with a map of the area with details of the guidelines.
This is also how it reads on the SEQKA website:
Currumbin Alley Estuary Zone This is the flat water estuary area inside the Northern rock wall at Currumbin Alley. Currumbin Alley has Queensland Maritime Transport regulations which apply to the estuary zone. The area is a boating channel and has a 6 knot speed limit for all vessels including kitesurfers. Fines can and may be issued by the water police if you are caught kiting the inside estuary zone exceeding the 6 knot limit.
Since there has been at least 5 written requests for a SEQKA meeting to be held based on this subject it would be nice if the President called one and explained it himself.
Happy kiting, see you on the water.
Regards,
Gene.

I would just like to add at this point that, I pissed in the water I mean alot the tide is higher becouse of it. And I want to add that I am not gonna stop it. I think I may go down and have a little bit of a piddle tonight. there I have sead it I pee in the alley and I'm proud of it. But I only urinate when kiting,out the back. Thank-you that really has been worrying me for ages maybe as far back as one whole yonk. So you could say its my waters.

oops forgot my brackets 3+0x8=3__________ (3+0)x8= 24 but hopefully you get the drift.
