Len Fox Park
Australia · Queensland
Len Fox Park is a quiet spot in Labrador on the Gold Coast, with a view of the Broadwater. There is a nice grassy area to prepare the gear and a beach for launching, just north of the Mitchell Park boat ramp.
It is a popular place for kiters due to its flat and shallow water, perfect for beginners who want to progress safely. The park is family-friendly with barbecues, playgrounds, and outdoor showers.
Kiting takes place in the Broadwater, protected from waves, with sandbanks that further calm the water.
Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The spot works well with N, NE, E, SE winds, which are side-shore to side-on relative to the east-facing beach. A south wind creates a dead zone due to trees and buildings, making the spot unusable – better to go to Shearwater Esplanade.
Launching is done directly from the narrow beach, with a grassy launch area ideal for rigging. At high tide, the beach narrows and assisted launching may be necessary at the water's edge. The water is shallow with sandbanks that become exposed at low tide, protecting from the tidal current and creating a super flat water surface when wind and tide align.
The navigation area is the Broadwater, wide enough to turn without issues, but stay away from yachts to the north and boat traffic. Beginners stay close to the shore where you can stand for a long time, intermediates can freeride on the flat.
