What is good about Lyall Bay is that recently the beach has become popular with Kit Surfers and Wind Surfers. On many a good blustery day/evening when the conditions are right you will a good group of Kite and Winder Surfers out in the water.
I’m amazed how good they are racing along the water with many doing some great jumps into the air and then landing as though its a walk in the park.
A short while ago a sign was installed in the dunes near the Western End of the beach near Queens Drive. The sign indicates to them the area where they are allowed to launch and also the area where they are allowed to enjoy there hobby.
It is great to see that they are allowed to enjoy what Lyall Bay has to offer and that they know where they are allowed.
The times that i have seen them down there they have pretty much kept to the area that is designated on the sign.
The sign gives some good information on the do’s and dont’s, and where else within Wellington and surrounding areas where they can Kite Surf.Hopefully this will not put them off from coming down.
If you see any out then take a few moments and be amazed by the skill.
