The majority of the Nelson crew will be heading down to Westport, West Coast this weekend. About a dozen of us.
Hopefully for some major wind and swell!!

Staying at Carters Beach Motor Camp: clean and cheap, next to the beach.

Kitesurfing locations:
9 Mile Beach, wind south to west. Over the hill from the www.bayhousecafe.co.nz/
Carters Beach, wind west to north. Right in front of the camping ground.

South West is the prominent direction so 9 Mile is the place to be. High tide for the weekend is in the morning before lunch, so out going tide from a lagoon/estuary means a massive 10 knot current pushing out through a 10 metre channel. Wicked for multiple standing waves and wakestyle loading.

We have kited here multiple times, it's not suited for learners. The waves can be as big as Double Decker buses!!(out the back) and they don't stop for anyone. Even the best have been munched here. As long as your confident and don't go out into the big stuff, no worries. We all watch out for each other and keep a close eye on the lady's. So open invite to all guys and girls in CHCH to come over the devide. Or anyone willing to make the drive.

More the merrier, all welcome, kiters and non-kiters, boarders or buggy's.
Good friends, good kiting and good beer, that's what it's about.
No Wankers Please :shock:

Just ask if info required.
