Hello here is a new link of pictures of shoalhaven heads Nsw in the days when the river mouth was open creating a premier windsurfing (wavesailing and speedsailing) and surfing location if anyone is old enough to remember it www.surfresearch.com.au/SHB.html care of Geoff Cater at surfresearch

I had one of those pink & cyan sails..

Whats Terry up to these days? Had some good times with him in Maui many years ago

Great pictures. I sailed there a few times in the mid nineties when I lived in the Illawarra. It was great to drive down there with a few windsurfing mates and sail the NE seabreeze there. Tons of people sailing too.

Recently we went there and it looked absolutely sh!t.

Amazing pics thanks! I sailed there a lot in 86/87/88 and also up the river near Ferry Lane and Pig Island. Great days. Scored plenty of waves at the Bombie too. Often I think back about how those were some of the greatest, certainly most carefree days of my life. Used to run an Air sail too.

What actually happened to the place? Is there no w/surfing surfing there anymore?

There still is windurfing in the summer NE's but the entrance never really opens up, only sailable for any distance at high tides and the shallow sand flats restrict use of large fins, good learning cruising spot with handy car park and grassy bank to rig up, hope to see it again like the pictures in my windsurfing lifetime also Geroa is at the other end of the beach and Sanctuary Point is not far to travel for flat water that is not tide dependant.
