Hey, Just wondering what would be the best spot on the Sunny coast for a Newbie into Kiteboarding to learn at, so I am out of the way of others and can learn at my own pace.

Lake Weyba - Flat shallow water, perfect for learning. You'll need to head for Lake Weyba Drive. A few of us go up there regularly when the SE/ESE winds are over 13knots and we fancy a bit of uncrowded flatwater kiting. BTW have you had lessons? If not, get some first.

Agree w Weiba - but can be gusty as is fairly small lake (thermals going off up wind).
Lake Cootharaba has most same virtues about 3-4 times bigger.

Both have tree lined shore - both also have xt'sive shallow water so can walk out.

Have seen schools train at both spots.

Last time I went to Elanda point and had a ball - can easily wade out 800+m - the kids loved it.

Make sure you can retrieve from the downwind shore if you are having trouble staying up - very limited access from land.

Thanks didi,

Looks like the Council grounds at Boreen pt is where I am heading to next. prob after xmas when the tourists go home tho, lol
