If anyone is heading down to Rye or Bonbeach this week at all let me know plz as i would like to pick up a few tips and tricks on the water.
cheers
Hi dude. Rye won't be good in a SW so if it has to be one of the 2 go bono. There will be more sailors there also. Bare in mind that if it is over 20 you will probably find bono a bit too much.
Sandringham harbour or Hampton would be the pick for a beginner.
Yeah, quite a few beginners start in Sandrihghan harbour (where SHQ run lessons) and gradually work their way further out of the harbour as they gain experience. Hampton Beach is tricky in a SW as it is onshore and there can be a mean (for a bay beach) shore break. Hampton is better on a southerly or SSE for learning as it is flatter. There are quite a few regular beginners at Hampton, at least 10 or more, so easy to join in with them. Be warned that there are also many kiters beginning as well so LOOK out. Good luck.
yeh i might start heading out there, the last few times i have been free to get out there is always now wind :/
went out to Rye today, have a onsite van there, but of course, no wind :/ what do you use for your wind info when trying to plan a session?
