Just arrived from Ireland heading up along the sunshine coast at the beginning of October. Have a 9 and 12 with me. Need help on decent beginner spots anywhere beteen Noosa and Havery Bay.Cheers

Cheers for that :) will give it a go. Also heard woodford beach near hervey bay is a decent spot bit not sure about it being suitable for beginners

Woodgate is about an hour north of Hervey Bay. If the winds are decent, Hervey Bay is one of the best places to learn. You can kite anything from a S to NW. There are no hazards to speak of and when the tide is in the bottom half and the sandbars get expsosed, the water flattens off nicely. I was at Sandgate on the weekend, wind was ordinary and you couldn't kite for all the lessons going on. Got back to the Bay on Monday and the SE's were perfect. Headed to the Pier and was the only one on the water besides Enzo giving a lesson, doesn't get any better. You can keep your "popular" spots, I'd take the Bay over any of them.

is Noosa river not a great place for beginners? Im heading up that way myself soon and heard rave reviews about Noosa and lake Weyba??? is it worth the extra drive to hervey bay?

BWD is right about the river mouth. Lake Webya can be a good spot for learning but the wind has to be right, check with the boys at Adventuresport Kitesurf in Noosaville. It's over a 2hr drive to Hervey Bay, and if the wind is good and the tides are right, you would find it ideal for learning and beyond. Long return trip if it doesn't blow though
