I will be spending 5 days in exmouth this october.
I guess with a little luck there should be some good wind days...
my question is where to go for the perfect flatwater shallow lagoon?
doesnt need to be offshore glassy - just some shallow clear water .

Seek and you shall find...

It was blowing 20-25 knots this day...







I'll be up there soon, and it can't come soon enough!

yeah stick to sandy bay unless you want to brave the bombie/ north graveyards, last two years i hit it and had 2weeks of wind 20-25knots+ with on screaming 35! had good swell last year too bombie was mast and north graveyards was walling up for endless smacks.

Laurie must be adjusting the graphs to have the place to himself cos the winds in today and I have just knocked off. So do I drive down for some flat water at sandy bay or hit some waves at graveyards. graveyards I say. Oh did I also mention it's a balmy 30 degrees today[}:)]

Sandy Bay (that's where the photos are if I'm not mistaken) is a great location.

Nah sorry mate responsibilities are mounting and don't have the time but I reckon there will be a few blokes bringing some demo gear up with them around the end of September/ early October. Call in to the shop at 16 nimitz st and I will put you in touch with what's available.

I remember doing 3, 3 hour sessions one day. Did the easterly on the boat ramp (or whatever you call it), hit graveyards for a 17-22 knot midday, then finished at sandy bay on 25 to 30, and got a picture just like that one (that is lost somewhere),

got back, wife (to be) was cooking up a some camp food and fell asleep within a 10 seconds on laying down. Was sore all over, wind burnt, sunburnt, ankles screaming, back shoulders on fire...and was the happiest man on the planet.

Damn you turtlehunter!

yep love the feeling kiting brings, trips like that can make or break a relationship but are remembered forever.
Especially back in the day when it felt like life or death at the launch.
By the way the boat ramp would be Bundegi.

I'm in coral bay at the moment. Turns out I hit Bundegi/Graveyards too early in the season and if the wind was in today it looks like i pulled up stumps and moved on too early too. Had fun trying to land a metre long cobia with light tackle in my kayak this afternoon. Almost makes up for the kiting I missed :)

Down in the NP does look sweet though, maybe next year

Hey Chris turns out you should never listen to a surfer who say's the wind is in as when I got there it was about 5kn. I have been contemplating taking a rod out on the SUP to see if I can land a cobia too. It's got to be a rush when you hook up but my biggest concern is bringing it home on the board, you got any tips on that? I would imagine a kayak wouldn't be much different.

Amazing photo - Em's a dab hand with that camera. :-)

"Laurie at his best"? You saying my best kiting is when I'm standing on the beach?!

Hi Turtle,

I spent Tuesday night up there in Exmouth and fell in love with the place. Stone grill at the Pot shot was pretty good!

Didnt get to see much there as it was an overnight trip but should be back up there again soon enough.

Ill get intouch with you next time Im up that way to get a locals look of the area.

Probably wont be kiting as I had a knee recon 2 months ago but keen to go out and get some pics and help out. Theres always next year for kiting!

What are the best months to be up there in Exmouth?

That pic is just blatant pimping Turtle Hunter
Coming the day after the old Melville Crew leave for their annual trip without me
It; & you all; just make me sick.

And I thought it was supposed to be a secret spot - known only to a handleful of insiders
