Kite Surfing

[PW1]

Hello,

 

I was just wondering if this was very popular in Victoria/Melbourne? its something I quite fancy getting into upon arrival.

 

Cheers,

I often see kite surfers on Port Phillip Bay all year round. I am not sure if there are any clubs dedicated to it

Yep I have regularly seen it in the bay too (pretty big group of people regularly just beyond the swimming baths in the Bayside area).

just in the middle of a 'starter course' with kite republic at st kilda. It seems fun, expensive but fun.

There are loads of kite surfers here at Altona beach and on one of the special offer sites like cudo or groupon they do cheap kite surfing lesson as well

Thanks, its something Ive always really fancied, yeah, I could do it in the UK, but I think we all know why I wouldnt. I like the idea you can fit it all the kit in your car as well, without the hassle of a roof rack that you get with windsurfing. Windsurfing just seems too cumbersome as well.

i was down at inverloch today and there where loads of kite surfers out on the water, inverloch has a very shallow long beach and easy parking for access to the sand. it looked great fun .

My husband's learning and we live in Bayside where alot of the kiteboarders go, ie, Hampton, St Kilda and further down the peninsula in Rye. Quite frustrating as it's so weather dependent (when you're learning) but worth it!
