The glassy flat water is great until you make a mistake. I've seen a few guys having months without kiting from damaged ankles and knees.

But it is super fun when the only ripple on the water is yours.

I had a bad experience, I got lofted and dragged many meters and could not get myself loose from the kite. But things have progressed very far from those days. All you should do is familiarize yourself with the safety features you have. Choose your winds good. Don't go out in gusty conditions. Start...

Happy new year, guys.

May all your travels be save this year.

I've kited once since moving from Western Australia. It wasn't a great day out, light wind with not much power to it. And the site of Sandgate was very shallow.

When you say further up the coast, which town would you recommend ? WA is so big ! Thanks Olivier I think you will at least go up to Geraldton and the coral coast .

If sand or cleaning sand out is an issue. How about putting clear plastic faces on both sides so you can see if there is any sand inside just one side is fine and should solve the problem! I don't think drilling holes in it is going to help, it is just going to get more sand in it. If it is clear o...
