Pari Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi Guys, I haven't been following this link very closely so if this question has been answered, apologies. What's Stockton beach like for kite landboarding? Are the junes useable on a landboarding also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's Stockton beach like for kite landboarding? Are the junes useable on a landboarding also? Hi Pari, Stockton at low tide, the hard packed sand is about 1/5 the width of the hard packed sand at Yeppoon to give you a relative idea. There are parts between the beachfront dunes and the large dunes out the back however that is relatively hard and with some of the larger (9" I think) mountain board wheels you would do alright on with a bit of power. Quite simply, it's the Dunes that make the experience amazing. What about grabbing yourself a sandboard, hook it on to a kite and off you go on the dunes?

Edit: "What about getting tanked, grabbing yourself a sandboard, hook it on to a kite and off you go on the dunes?" Sounds like something you'd do after a wedding, and an early flight into newcastle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pari Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks for the info. I'm not decided if I'll go make this one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoutherlyBuster Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Thanks for the info. I'm not decided if I'll go make this one yet. Zachary and I went to Stockton some years ago, we are both landboarders. The main attraction for the landboarders is definitely the beach. Yes there are some spots of hard sand in the dunes around one of the lagoons, but it is only a narrow strip and is typically taken up by buggies. I used the 8 inch wheels, they definitely need hard packed sand. For Zachary and I there's nothing like those long cruisy runs you get on the long stretch of beach. Can be a bit of a worry at times, especially for my son Zachary (he was about 8 yrs old at the time) with all the car traffic on the beach. You do have to keep your eyes peeled. Can be a bit like extracts from a mad max movie at times. Regards, Norman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pari Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hi Southerly, That's really helpful info, thanks. Sounds like there's fun to be had down there on the landboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Christie, I already have a design finished for Stockton, will be online for purchase Sept 1st ( http://www.cafepress.com.au/WindCube/ ). Unfortunately the design isn't "limited edition" so put me down for a 2XL of your design. Regards, .Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkzo7 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Hi all, I'm thinking of joining you in Stockton, I ride a landboard, would anyone have a spare buggy to try out? Is anybody planning to camp in the dunes, I'd be keen on that? Cheers, Marcin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamil Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 There will be spare buggies there for sure - worst case you can use mine. Most people will be staying in the caravan park, but there will be a couple camping in the dunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
