Keen to gain some local knowledge about best winds for various spots around brisbane, Wellington point would probably be my most local spot, currently living in Wynnum.
Just wanna know where a good crowd ends up, who are more than helpful landing/launching.

My experience:

Beginner - Half a season in Perth - Confident getting up wind - confident turning - jumping with the odd successful landing.

Cheers for any advice

Wello you always get a good crowd, and people there are very friendly and helpful. Just make sure you do not rig up, launch or land above the high water level mark, or you might get a $400 fine! Kiteboarding is banned in the entire Redlandshire reserve but as long as you are below the high water level mark and doesnt cause any safety concerns, it is a great spot to kite/windsurf. Works in almost most directions. Watch the mud, rocks and be very careful if you kite on the offshore side. As you live in Wynum you should also go and meet the crew at the kitebeach there. End of Davenport Drive (off Royal Esplande) next to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is where all the kiters go. If you need anything, come and see us at Sandgate on the northside of Brisbane. Great shallow spot very ideal for learning or practising tricks. All sandy bottom no rocks/mud! Have fun and welcome to Brisbane!

yeah brighton beach near bris kites is one of the best places for learning,,, thats where i started to ride,, but when the winds on ill take u out on my boat to jumpinpin,

top spot

For Good spots with friendly helpful kiters
Most spots if your are not a reckless smart arse and are friendly youself.
As a beginner avoid Narrowneck, Happy Valley, Curumbin.
Safest spots
SE / NE - Sandgate, Brighton
NE / NW - Small Wave Kirra / Bilinga Beach
SW - Red Beach
All directions - Jumpinpin (out of the current)
Wello has lots to cut your feet on.
Other spots with flat water have strong tidal flows to contend with
Such as Loders Creek, Shearwater, Golden Beach which depending on your level may or may not be an issue (remember the wind may drop or you may break a line / bridle).

D'ont want to put a jinx on it but friday and saturday (5th +6th Nov)look good. any one keen on brighton-sandgate friday or coloundra on saturday or a mix of either.
Or open to any other suggestions ha.

absolutely dead keen to get out with either/both ye guys..... Just waiting on bloody wind
