You Know Kite surfing beach where I am actually welcome and dont have to pretend that my kite is not my beach shade thats blown away.
where the locals smile at you instead of waving pitchforks and torches.
Actually I kiteboard at a regular beach up north but I know some of you guys are having troubles at some beaches down south.

I'm looking for a beach where the locals welcome you with beers on ice, pump up your kite, set the lines, hoot you into waves, then supply a female once the session is over.

Still looking though.

Hi pueter66, You do not want to kite at Bargara to rocky.
As above Elliot heads is very nice. Seen a few kites there.
I would also say they where at least 500mt down from the car park and stayed down that end. They where all very responsible as alot of swimmers at bar entry. It is not a Caloundra Bar show and tell type of place. 20mins South from Bargara.

He is right
I remember driving up between a couple of houses to see the beach

Elliot heads is also tidal, so outgoing is the go.
Also sure there is a beach to the north of the town.
also a few spots further up the coast that captain cook recommends as a sailing destination

Elliot can work whichever way the tide is running as there is a large kiteable area out of the river run. Agnes Waters is a couple of hours to the north and to the south is the river at woodgate and a 90 min drive to Hervey Bay.
