Hi Mate,
There are a few options for you to get the hang of kiting this summer, a detailed list can be found on www.saksa.com.au > locations
basically your best options are somewhere around the chicken shop , largs bay (north of largs jetty), or north of grange jetty (nice and un-crowded). Be aware that during a sw seabreeze largs will sometimes drop to nothing or swing offshore suddenly. This does not happen as much at the chicken shop and it can still be ridden with a bit of SE in it.
Best not to go out at Henley as there is only a small area for kiting which will be very busy both on the water and on the beach, and not suited for beginners.
Finally in case you did not get to the sign up day be sure to join saksa (see details on the website) and wear your membership tag on your harness.
see ya on the water

Theres a lake just North of Beachport in the South East- its massive and only a few feet deep in most places, so for a beginner, you can go miles and still touch in most places to walk back or to help relaunch-but the water tastes really salty and crappy-
