Sorry, don't even know that area....

My advice, FWIW....

Go where the crowds are while ur learning, gather tips and info off others....

most kiters are more than helpful to others....

If you haven't been taught properly to self launch and land, don't even bother until u get proper instruction...

Have u been taught to self rescue?

I wouldn't be going anywhere near an area like that when you dont know whats under the water.

Wello point is packed, has a tiny tiny space for launch, and you can get fined by the council for inflating on the grass area apparently. Thats why I chose northside for kiting, as Sandgate reigns supreme for the bayside area-a couple of k's of uninterrupted, launchable beach and fat, consistent seabreezes.

Manly is too congested, Wynnum is out, and anything further south just doesnt work wind wise.

Sandgate would have to be one of the worst kiting spots in Australia imho..
Jellies everywhere..
S/E winds = huge wind shadow
Short tacking newbies everywhere with no idea...
High tide = a whirl pool with waves smashing off the wall and back too the lumpy bay chop = terrible water conditions..
Kiters that will take you out when you have right of way as hitting the beach and dry land isn't an option = Sandgate crew.. All learners with out proper education as to safety of other kiters.
Want to learn how to hot launch and where to buy the most unusable kite kit for yourself = Sandgate.
True facts.. Should have some stuff up on YouTube regarding all this just to put some people's facts to light..
Avoid the place unless you are a glass half full person that has there blinkers on all the time..
Weirdest spot and crew in S/E Qld I found on my travels..

Thornside is great to kitesurf. 200 + meters wide opening and the tide goes out 300+ meters to the ocean. huge area to launch and land. just cant land on beach on full tide.Not for the inexperienced. No worse than Lota. No rockwalls going into water. Just always be safe and you will be fine. If you dont know how to dosomething, dont do it. always ask for help.
