Hi All,

Every couple of years my missus has disappeared off for a week to get away from it all, sailing in the Whitsundays before we had kids, Cambodia before we had our second son, and Perth to get a break from the three of us

Anyhow she's pointed out that I should really take a week out and get away from it all this year and she's probably right.

We went to Waikiki at then end of last year and I loved it there as I'd only flat water paddled and so it was a great place to catch that first wave, but it's a lot of $ and more importantly a lot of travelling so reducing my time SUPing.

I really just want to get better on my SUP in the waves without the crowds, maybe learn to surf as well and then sit in a cafe and read and just slow down in general.

Anybody got any thoughts of a location that would be nice for a week in the next couple of months. Closer would better for cost and travel time, but if there's somewhere that'd just be perfect then I'll happily jump on a plane.

Is there some magical place on the coast within driving distance of Sydney with a hire shop, guest house and cafe on the beach which is guaranteed some smallish waves then I'd be in heaven as I can ride the motorbike up too

Any help and guidance that you can offer would be gratefully appreciated,

Tak

I think that board might suit you mate and i'm sure she wont mind sharing

From what I have read and seen on this site , I would be off to W.A in a heart beat. or if thats too far try Dogman's turf northern NSW around Coffs or Minnie Water pretty laid back and heaps of waves.

Adelaide is the best

looks like south coast between windang and gerroa or further south to JB is winning so far? it certainly fits the criteria for a family holiday. I should know its my backyard.
you'll get knee high to over head conditions in the surf and some great flat water paddling or down winders
If you choose south coast pm me and I can give you some tips or we can catch up there's a very casual crew down here with not much hassel

Thanks Everyone!

That's a real help.

I think I'll print out a map this afternoon and starting sticking pins in it

Have a great weekend!
