Beginner Buddies South Sydney

Hi Guys,

In the middle of my kite surfing lessons now. Preparing to buy my own kite after Christmas.

Looking for other riders that would be interested in hooking up and help me a little at the beginning at Botany Bay area.

Pm me if your keen

Cheers

Hey Guys,

I'm another newbie to kite surfing. Keen to head out anywhere from Botany Bay to Cronulla.

Cheers

This Thursday looks to be a nice day to practice. If anyone is interested let's meet up on the beach at the end of Monterey St. near Ramsgate - 2pm onwards.
Cheers,

It's not the best spot for beginners (in saying that all spots have their pros and cons). The surf isn't really the issue unless it's pumping and lets be honest that doesn't happen all that much at cronulla . If you can stay upwind and don't mind a bit of chop then it's a great spot.

When the wind is NE it tends to get very gusty and can get very tricky. On a southerly the wind is good and steady, however it is usually stronger than a NE so generally smaller kites.

The only other thing to watch out for there is the Flags which don't take up very much space and the people which in summer can be too much for a kite to navigate, launch land etc.

Great spot with a great crew of people there, everyone willing to help each other out as well.

Hi

I am also new and recently had lessons would love to meet up and practice anywhere in the Sydney metro kiting spots.

Cheers,

Sunel

Thanks for the info. Will be there and hopefully meet you guys

Cheers

In my opinion 3hrs in one hit on the water is a lot for a beginer. A guess it depends on your stamina but i would recommend breaking up your lessons into 2hr slots.

2hrs on the beach and in water practicing boddy dragging.

Then 2hrs in the water trying to stand up on the board.

Also if you are totaly new to this then get a practice kite 2-2.5m and just learn to fly it this will save you $$$ when you start your lesson.

Monday and Tuesday looks good this week if anyone is interested 3pm +?
Peter
