Hi
I am just about to relocate to Broadwater in NSW (Ballina - not surfers)for work and am hoping that someone may be able to help with sailing locations where i will not be sailing alone. I have done a bit of research through the net and this forum and cannot find much info.

Looking for a bit of not too challenging sea sailing ( and/or flat water). have waveboard and 95 litre FSW so just looking for some fun relaxing sailing

Any advice /contacts appreciated

many thanks in advance

Doug

Hey there,

I moved to Byron a couple of months ago so finding my feet up here too. While in general I'm seeking wave locations I've just got back from a nice sail at The Pass in Byron in a northerly - typical bump and jump conditions and quite relaxed.

Otherwise I believe flat water sailors sail from the yacht club on Ballina River in E/W conditions.

Lennox Beach in a NE is chilled too depending on the swell.

There are a few sailors around. I've always found someone on days I've picked to go out.

Good luck and enjoy.

hmmm just out of interest, are you working at the sugarmill?

Anyway, yamba is a good bet, its almost exactly 1hr drive (possibly a bit far?) from broadwater. Last summer when I was working in broadwater, i would drive home (yamba) and catch an hour or 2 of sailing most arvo's after work.

Ballina is closer, and possibly byron maybe, but dunno about sailing spots around there.
