Even though not the easiest spot for kitesurfing, Grarabup is more a spot for advanced freerider and freestyler than Main Break. The launch can be tricky as the wind is usually side off shore. Make sure you are able to rescue yourself at all times and are close enough to the beach to swim back in the worst case. You will find a reef a little further outside which seams easy to ride in at first but is really shallow and should be handled with a lot of care!
