mate, can you not get transfered to WA??
I've never been to the sunshine state but seems that it's better for fishing than windsurfing!!!
you should come this way....

although we do have tree too here so still dangerous for the masts over here


well good luck anyway can't be too bad ...

Curac,

Been to both, WA is heaps better than Maui for windsurfing, except for May to Middle of Sept, When Maui rocks and is warm, whereas WA has cooled down. Then WA kicks arse from Exmouth, and North Carnarvon in Middle Sept, then as summer gets closer it rolls right through to Esperance, how many K's is that versus, what is it from memory, about 40kms of sailable coastline

However, Maui is very beautiful, lot's of fun, and there's probably no 40km stretch of coast with as Much variety in WA, Maui is special and worth a visit, but go when it's cold here!!!!!

Heya Mr Curac.

Sunshine coast is only 1.5 hour away.....how different do you think it's going to be? ;) Go move to Lancelin. No wind in WA, no wind anywhere.

J

oh. i thought you were staying with Jezza.

Still I found that sunshine coast sailors said that gold coast was better, and visa versa. The grass is always greener.........

Ive stayed at noosa for a couple of weeks here and there and experienced the same lack of wind situation. I do like the rivermouth at caloundra. If I had to live on the sunshine coast, thats where I'd be, but golden beach is nothing to write home about. Aparently many years ago it was very good. Recently the sand has built up far too much. It is now like sailing in someones bath tub and somebody keeps pulling out the plug. I guess it would make you a good gyber!

If anything, living on the goldcoast means you are closer to the northern NSW beaches which generally have a better reputation for sailing, and easier to get to.

yeah golden beach looks good.. flat water to gather some speed then out through the mouth and into the ocean ..

well i will give the sunny coast a go. see how it is.. i have met a couple of good sailors.. well one i know is good.. but the other guys could just be talking out there ass and they say its not too bad,
i am looking for a place at golden beach somewhere close enough so i can rig up at home and walk it to the beach.. yeah that would be good..

skinny..
you like the train hey.. yeah its ok.. altough it does make me a little sleepy.. heheh.... .. .. .. ..

justan.. after i move to the coast and can go sailing everyday its possible.. i will have to come down the goldcoast and show you how to do some double forward loops.. right after i learn them.. i will also show you how to do wave 360, and wave 720s lol..

hopefully be down the gold coast on friday,, saturday, if the winds up are you going to go to the train or shearwater?? or someplace else.. if the wind is really up.. we should all go out in the surf someplace.. if i can drag jerry out there

HI Skinny,

Are you still on the GoldCoast? If you are I'd imagine we probably all know each other. You may be in some of these photos...

Yeah, I have been over here for a few years now. I manage to go to WA every two to three years. Still have family and friends over there.
I now work 15 mins from the train,so come summer with the extended hours of daylight that summer provides, i will be out a bit for often that i usually am.
