Gear & clothing

Gear · With average winds of 8.7 knots, bring a 15-17m kite for lighter wind days and a 12-14m for stronger sessions. A directional or wave board suits the choppy ocean conditions better than a twin-tip.

Clothing · A 3-4mm wetsuit is suitable for Queensland's subtropical climate year-round, with lighter options during warmer months (Dec-Feb). Water temperatures remain comfortable but sun protection is essential.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and maintain awareness of swimmers and other recreational beach activities. Stay downwind of other kiters and communicate your intentions clearly.
