Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 15-17m kites for the 11.3kt average wind—larger kites essential for lighter days. Use a wave or all-around board suited for choppy conditions with good edge hold.

Clothing · Wear a 2-3mm wetsuit year-round for Queensland's subtropical waters; consider a rashguard for sun protection during extended sessions in March's warmer conditions.

Crowd & etiquette

Share the break with other kiters and swimmers; respect any local beach regulations and stay clear of swimmers during peak beach hours. Keep a safe downwind distance from other riders.

Additional notes

March is prime season with best wind patterns; visit early morning for lighter crowds and more stable conditions. Check local tide charts as tidal ranges affect launch zones and water dynamics.
