yeah i was thinking about the alternative parking spots looks like there is some other spots a bit further up and down of Phillip st
You know sandgate has pretty much the same conditions at high tide it seems? Usually the kiters don't go out on the high tide, so its pretty empty... but on the low tide its full of kiters....
but i don't really mind.. but yeh, it is closer than beachie for those more south...
Sandgate is good for kiters because it is shallow... not so good for us. Only really sailable an hour or two either side of the height of a king tide. Any other time a very long walk is what you face, along with a lot it kiters. Can't really compare with Beachmere. I have sailed from Nudgee beach to Sandgate on a NE which is quite nice, but once again you really need a full tide, otherwise a long hike with your gear.
Agree with you swoosh there, sailed there on sunday not sure what the direction was but i think it was SE, pretty onshore but great ramps for you freestyle guys
the shallow part at sandgate drops away and gets deep quickly i have sailed sandgate a few time and it's good not as good ramps as beachmere and kiters are stil there at high tide :( also the ramps end atthe end of the shallow part
Sounds like it can't compare to beachie then.... oh wellll... lol.
Well, I think sandgate gets a nice swell sometimes... but on low tide its small... and yeh... when the tide is low its a long walk out.. agreeded....
