Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites for the average 11.5kt winds; a directional or twin-tip board works well on flat water. Consider lighter gear for summer months when thermals may increase wind variability.

Clothing · 1-2mm wetsuit or rash guard during warmer months (Sep-Feb); 3-4mm during cooler winter months (Jun-Aug). High SPF sunscreen is essential for Australian sun exposure.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect other water users and maintain awareness of swimmers or fishermen on the lake. Launch and land away from populated areas to avoid conflicts.
