Hey Guys,

Just after a recommendation for the best location for a beginner kiter around the Tuggerah Lakes area - I have checked the KSA website but just want a bit of local opinion on the area..

Just a bit of background on my ability, done a few lessons which covered all safety, kite control, water start, wind conditions etc. Just need to hone my skills with my board riding, so flat water and plenty of room..

Thanks,

chittaway bay is a suitable location for you in se and ne winds, flat water plenty of room. Just make sure you suss out locations to land downwind if you need it. I havent kited there for a few years( I prefer waves) but there used to new a few kiters there every time I turned up. The only real drawback to that spot is the mud which stinks a bit!.

Thanks mate. Haven't checked it out but I used to live down in that area, so I know the area your referring to.. Looking forward to hitting the waves, but not confident or skilled enough yet to get out there yet.

Actually the drawback to Chittaway Bay is the fact that is missing the water. I've kited there last year and it was really really shallow. Last time I've been there (end of 2012) it was dry for 100 meters before you would get to the water.
