6 years ago there would be about 5 people at the most.
These days you'd b lucky to find an empty part of the spit to rig up.
So it gets busy very very very busy

Plus there are lots of killer rocks lurking just inches below.
Its also fun to see who will get blown over the river to Mosman Park - long walk back from there.

there are plenty of places on the river you can kite on an easterly . Just don't bother with point walter as that is the metro equivalent of the pond at safety bay . Overcrowded with both kites and ego's

The kind of place i like to avoid!
Were else then? If i had a car i'd just go drive up n down the river n find some place.
Thanks for the responce people.
