OK I'll bite

Where are these two spots?

Both have segregated areas so I'd not say kiters are banned.

Today at Dutchies with low tide I saw more consistent waves (if you can call metro slop "waves") in the kiter's area to the north.

Too shallow for polies in the kite area today (not that I ever see any in there) so its swings and roundabouts isn't it?


And you can do a downwinder and get all the waves for 10km except for 100m at Dutchies and 100m at Scabs (which we can't do) so life's rosey for ya

# Scarborough main windpeak

Can Avalon be added to the list

Well using your logic, I, as a polie, am banned from the spot 100m north of the Dutch Inn groyne.

No, you aren't banned from that spot. ^^^
By your own admission, you just can't sail it.
lol.
It's just way too shallow for those ridiculously long fins that dancers use.

Stop having a sook and go for a kite in the 100km of metro coastline that is not those two spots.

"that is not those two spots". ^^^
lol.(It doesn't even read right)
Sounds a bit possessive, Mark.
When did dancers get a mortgage on wave spots ?
Why poleys only ?
Why are kiters not welcome ?

Redthumb junkie, I'll explain it for you.

Out of the 100km or so of metro coastline there is about 200m total you should not kite. Likewise there is about 200m I should not windsurf.

As much as you think it is a conspiracy against you, it is not, it is equitable....so get over it.

Now go and have a kite sesh, and forget about how all the polies must be out to get you.

You obviously posted your topic due to what Reflex mentioned about getting a kite dropped on him at Scarbs with lines wrapped around him?
A case for segregation if I ever saw it. Oh, how the irony you have created is delicious.

I'm done now, bye.

Not so much banned but as I was launching from Nobbys in Newcastle on tuesday, I notice the clubby race halfway down the beach on his quadbike and stick a sign in the sand 300m from the flags with "No Kites" in this area. Nothing about us poleys though.

Kiters are banned from .....

So what's your point, I don't see a Problem here. I certainly will not lose any sleep over it!

Nothing wrong with SUP's, they are fun and serve a purpose unlike..........
They also dont have meters of rope dragging along behind them attached to strange life forms who wear their undies on the outside!!!

OK, cool... thanks for the heads up...

waveslave said...

Why does Perth metro have wave spots for poleys only ?
I know of two spots.
Kiters are not welcome at these breaks.
No other places in Oz or in WA have this arrangement.

Here in Adelaide we have got some fresh new sighs up,
Targeting Kite Surfing.....

you took the bait mark_australia??? why??? waveslave, poleys are good man, you see windsurfers are really nice people and we treat the ladys nice

^^^^ Strewth these are popping up all over the place, not just the two spots in Perth that are the only places (according to waveslave)

Geez, anyone would think some kiters have ruined it for the rest of them. But that can't be the case (apparently)

mmm-have read of this thread and it might become a little clearer

The truth of the matter is alot of you idiots are untrained untrainable and dont care for your own saftey or the saftey of the general public.
If kitesurfers continue to place the general public in danger with launching and landing of kites in public area they will continue to be banned.
I sygest in future that if you want to save more areas for kiting you will have a more safer out look about pubic liability.
i dont blame the experienced kiters for this just the noobs who cant control there kite and certainly need more lesson and supervision
