just look at a map find the spot thats cross in the wind direction and go there

hit a beach. they don't have oysters. go miami or nobbies. even narrow neck. (although that might be fked by the high rises but if its more south i don't think it will be a problem).
and don't worry about safety its the goldy there are always people looking so if you get smashed once everyone stops laughing and realise something is wrong chances are someone will get life saver guy thing. and you got helicopters and jet skis doing passes all the time.
its one safe place.
I did what your doing for ages. trying to find people to sail with. i gave up in the end and just went where ever

Hey Curac,

Mmm might check out Cudgen or similar... just got to get over the fear factor!

Would have been there but had to drop off a friend at the train station... right in the middle of the windiest day since Christmas. And when I get there her friend was there as well, but she "doesn't want to drive on the freeway". WTF??? I mean it's not that hard, sit in the left hand lane and do the speed limit, how hard is that?
Same again tomorrow as well

We did have a blast at the train today particulary if you stay on the seaworld side, you can rig on the grass at seaworld carpark or go further down near that old barge on the beach hit 34.5knts on the gps in very dogey conditions but when the gusts came yipee!As you said had to swim 50m back to the beach zero wind on that side......chairman it must have been nuts at shearwater!

Shearwater??? Chairman are u sure it wasn't 2 kites, yourself and Chuch Norris? ...anyway the other side of the train was all time today.

Ahh but Vando it's called windsurfing isn't it?

You were there at about 5pm Tony? seemed to be scooting along in the fading light- I turned up at about 5.15pm at shearwater but realised there probably wasn't enough time to rig and sail- even though it was still howling. was the wind constant up there?
