Pelican Point is a peninsula protruding in the shallow flat waters on the Swan River (Perth), site of Australia's first Kite Surfing school. Next to University of Western Australia.
Not suited for the total novice as landing and launching kites can get a bit dangerous and trees line the shore down wind.
The fenced area is a CALM Nature Reserve and a RESTRICTED AREA, thus is a no kite zone that requires you to be able to stay up wind in the gusty conditions that can be found here. The reserve should NEVER be used to launch, land or rig up. Please avoid this area at all times. Obey directions from the Rangers and CALM officers at ALL TIMES.
There is a submerged water hazard on the shoreline at the very end of th point (which is actually out of bounds, so you shouldn't kite there). It's a rusted steel drum with spikes sticking up - deadly to kite and human.
