Heading up to Perth this weekend, is there any rules or special place newbies go at melville??
Melville can get busy, esp on weekends, but the 'rules' are fairly simple and easy. Nick's map is a good guide of where to launch from. There is a car park before that but its the key launching spot for the windsurfers (so we tend to leave it to them). About 30-40m from the water's edge you'll see a series of yellow markers - inshore of this line is the launch/land area so keep it for this purpose only ie not changing directions/jumps/showing off for your mates or hot chicks. If you're like me and vertical and forward at the same time is still the goal, then move out beyond the yellow markers to allow others to launch/land without risk of entanglement etc. Good luck!
