We wondered what you think are the top 3 spots in Australia you have kited?

Give us your feedback including

Place name (include nick name if you know it) - state - why you loved it!

Be interesting to see how often the same place comes up

1. Double Island (DI), between north shore and rainbow beach QLD, caus it has a sweet wave that peals off on the other side of the sand bank, woodmans point like off shore flat water.

2. Woodmans Point, WA, off shore like flat water.

3. Noosa rivermouth, QLD, good surf in the mouth and along the north shore, semi choppy conditions in the middle and butter flat water on the inside

Woodies WA, Lano WA, The Pass @Bryon, NSW

Reasons: constant wind, flat water/ nice rollers

Worst 3 spots: Kurnell, Dolls point, Brighton Le Sands which is where I ride mostly!

1) Geraldton area theres a few too many spots to mention.
2) Exmouth
3) Canarvon

These spots are sick. Heaps windier and warmer than most over crowded spots.

Lets learn the lessons from PRO surfing and the ridiculous crowds that good spots are hammered with and NOT name the 3 best places you know on a forum or attract competitions. Word of mouth is a brisk enough wind as it is and if you got the time and coin to get some where... enjoy it with your mates and those who have the drive,luck, holiday pay/dole money to get there.
sorry to be a scrooge but there is telling people and then there is telling everyone!!!
Kite Safe.

Come on guys, i want to put them on a new T shirt for KSA. If you want your spot named, then let me know. No one will know where to find it unless it is common knowledge anyway. Not like no one knows where Exmouth is hey. Just want to narrow down the field a bit for the most popular ones in each state.

Might get to kite them all one day, but just thought it would make a great T.

PS the funnelling at those inland lakes sounds awesome, have to check them out one day.
