With the season hopefully ramping up, just a little reminder to everyone wanting to kiting here to keep it safe and friendly. Last season we had way too much carnage and are probably a bit lucky we are still allowed to kite inside the rivermouth. A note to beginners. This place looks safe, but in an outgoing tide when there is a bit of swell, if you drop your kite and can't get it up quickly you can get sucked out into the surf impact zone where the waves will be pushing you in and the tide pushing you out and then pray that someone rescues you. Each rescue of a person, board or kite costs a carton of beer, 2 cartons if you get rescued by the lifeguards.

And there must be some sharks in there too sometimes...I have never been that quick out off the water before than the time I noticed that big fin popping up 2m in front of me
Nice spot besides that

Great job on the vid Maurie, after watching that it makes you realize how lucky we are living on the sunny coast.

And thanks for sharing.

Got to agree with the first post, stay safe guys and girls,have respect, kite well away from swimmers and beach goers and surfers, if an accident occurs we will all suffer, also get insured!!

Each new vid posted gets better and better and a good rep of the cross section of kiters on the coast. I bet they would all be great in the surf too if we had some!!! I agree with green menace Caloundra rocks as does Noosa! happy days
