Kitesurfing in Brighton is a very popular spot for all riders. You can body drag for tens of metres and still stand up or when you lose your board you can easily recover it by walking to it in waist deep water.
This spot is often crowded on the weekends and the launch area is very limited. Let this not deter you as once you're out there, there is plenty of space to find where you're not dodging other kites.
There are a few of kite schools including KitePower and BrisKites in the area, they're teaching people that have never kitesurfed before and so try not get in their way.
Sandgate
Sangate... see Brighton's info as This spot is pretty much exactly the same as Brighton but the only difference is the slight angle of beach. At Sangate if the wind is blowing a S-South Easterly then it's probably best to hit Brighton otherwise you'll be trying a little bit harder to get back to shore. Anything from south-easterly to north-easterly is perfect for this spot.
Clontarf (Redcliffe)
Clontarf is best surfed when the wind is blowy more from the south or even west and It's the spot to go when Brighton and Sangate aren't working. This area is a lot smaller than and the water is deeper, and so you must be able to body drag upwind to recover your board.
