I'd like to know this as well! living in the Tanah Merah area mostly...

options i know of:

a) broadwater
b) currumbin

Is Broadwater good in March? and What are the rules there regarding where you can Kitesurf. Coming there fore a March Conference and would love to take a kite with em as well as my surf board.

^^^^ yep your not in WA over here! As for wind...maybe.

The 2 places in the above photos are KFC's (Loaders Creek) at Labrador and Shearwater Esplanade at Runaway Bay. The launch area and area of beach can be very limited at KFC's on high tide and is not good for some one learning by themselves as a tendency to end up down wind and in some rocky or over the other side of a creek entrance areas is huge with limited ability to walk back along a beach to start all over again. The prefered option for a NOOB would be Shearwater Esplanade at Runaway Bay. It has a nice long beach where a NOOB can start and launch at one end upwind and end up downwind after a few attemps then walk back along the beach and start the process all over again. Just come say Hi and introduce yourself as there are plenty of helpfull and friendly locals enjoying the stoke, me being one of them. The rules for the Broadwater are that of Queensland General Boating rules that can be found by doing a google search on these and general Kite Surfing rules on right of way and courtesy that one should familiarise themself with, that is all listed on the www.SEQKA.com.au website as well it has good arial map locations indicated of the above 2 locations. Be aware there is alot of boat action in these 2 locations particularly Shearwater as it's a bit of a thoroughfare for the boaties. The beaches are generally not an option for a NOOB apart from possibly Kirra Beach at Kirra on any Northerly type winds and when the swell is small all other beach locations have some trickiness attached to them which is something that you will learn through local knowledge and ability as you progress to attemp these type locations. So all there is left to do is just do it and we will see you there!!!

Sounds great, and I do know those flat water spots mentioned also.

So, pack the 10m? (I am 77kg)

Isn't it bull shark central in those canals?
