Locations

The Green Pins shows locations that, if the weather conditions are stable and consistent, may be good locations for kiters. There may still be hazards to avoid. Seek info from the locals before heading out, and please make sure you’ve had proper kite lessons, and don’t kite in unsuitable conditions.
The Yellow Pins indicate spots more suitable for intermediate kiters as there may be some more dangerous or difficult conditions.
The Purple Pins show locations that are only suitable for advanced riders. This may be because of things like: limited launching & landing options, trees, obstacles, powerful waves, stronger currents, rocks, or unpredictability of wind conditions etc.

The red shaded areas indicate areas where under no circumstance you should be kiting! These vary from council enforced bans to water ways restrictions etc.  If any member were to have an incident in these areas that required claiming on the 3rd party insurance then there may be NO COVER as you are in breach of the safe kiting guidelines set out by Kiteboarding Australia.
