The wind in there is unstable and not suitable for kites unless you are looking to be at least 100 metres offshore? likewise launching and landing off the beach between Werner and the jetty is not ideal for the same reason.

Hey Chris, there is a lot of thought and prep that goes into chosing a venue and following review we have a preferred location chosen by all parties, including WAKSA who are running the event in conjunction with the LOC. So lets hope for great weather and an awesome day out for all involved.

Apart from the nice grass it's a crap spot to launch from and dangerous unless it's totally deserted. It also gives most of the local kiters the ****s when people do set up and launch/land from there.

LOC have no say on kites in the park as the Shire of Gingin have it written in the bylaws and they are enthusiastic about enforcing it.
