Gear & clothing

Gear · Bring 14-17m kites to maximize light wind (12kt average), with smaller sizes for gustier days. A directional or twin-tip board works well for flat water progression and freestyle practice.

Clothing · A 3-4mm wetsuit is suitable year-round for Southern Australian waters, though thinner suits suffice in summer (Dec-Feb). Water temperatures range from cool in winter to mild in summer.

Crowd & etiquette

Share the river space respectfully with fishing boats and other water users; stay aware of navigation channels. Keep downwind of other kiters and maintain clear communication in this shared-use waterway.

Additional notes
