G'day All, My name is Mike, Newbie to the Sport. I've had a couple of lessons up in North Queensland and have now moved to Adelaide with the family, Glenelg area. Have finally bought a board & paddle and looking for nice calm places before heading onto the more exposed Bay/Onshore areas whilst I develop my basic skills etc... Any suggestions where might be a good area for this? Cheers for the Help!

I just did a day of clinics at Glenelg right behind the marina to the north. Perfect.
Also mornings were perfect in the ocean till the wind picked up

Yep as Pete menioned, if you're in Glenleg you can't go past the Patawalonga river. Great scenery from boats to houses to spoilt little rich girls walking thier chihuahuas
From Glenelg it's 30 mins to the Onkaparinga which is generally only a high tide option in the lower reaches or West Lakes 10 - 15mins North.
If you want anything more than a couple of K's in paddle length, I'd suggest West Lakes where you can view the spoilt little rich girls wealthy grandmothers in their natural tanning environment...their back yard!

Cheers guys, have sent the friend requests through on Facebook, looks to be a great community out there. Il head down to the pat , looks great and just around the corner. If you see a guy falling off more than average, come say hi...it's most likely me!
