simple solution ............kite at Hampton
....
Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Only kooks kite at Hampton.
All they do is mow the lawn and cut people off on the inside.
There is a huge wind shadow from the yacht club and the hill behind. If you get too close it is insanely gusty. If you drop your kite you will never relaunch it.
You have to dodge a net of fishing lines near the breakwater and the groynes. The fishers cast sinkers at kites.
The reef runs along the length of the beach, not out from one end like Brighton.
The life saving club and the triathlon clubs train there and if you go anywhere near them they report you to the police.
The beach is really narrow so if you can't self-launch and land and nobody will help you.
Hampton is much much much worse than Brighton. If you value your life you will not kite at Hampton.
Don't go to Ricketts either. That place is ****. The last time a guy released his kite there it ended up in Altona. The reef will cut you to ribbons.
Both places have all these really grumpy windsurfers. All they do is try to run down kiters as they blast into the beach.
