Hi all

I wonder if any beginners or post-beginners in Brisbane would like to practise windsurfing skills together.
The spots I tried to windsurf are Sandgate, Wello, Manly, the beach near Central St/Marine Parade in Gold coast.

I know heaps of people windsurf in Wello but they seem very experienced and I think they are not interested going with beginners.

Sometimes I dare not try alone when it is windy or wavy and when there's no any windsurfers on water.
I think it would be more safe and more fun to have at least one mate to go together. I am not a complete beginner but I know fast tack and basic gybe. If you are interested, please leave me a message.

Hi deejay8204

That's nice. I am living in Brisbane South very close to Westfield Garden City. Will you go to sail on 26th? I will be visiting my friend at Strathpine on 25th and stay one night there so can join you people up there in Caboolture.

Hey Winddragon,

Sorry, I will be off the water for a couple of weeks with a recurring shoulder injury that has decided to come back as the best winds come in as usual.
Unfortunately I cant even help with a nut for the base either as I have just had to use my spare for the same reason as you. If I look carefully enough it may be in my backyard somewhere lol.

Come out and have a blast on the water down at Wello when Bayside races are on, someone there should be able to help you out before the races start, The next race is on the 5th January, I will be on the boat crew again.

Seeya on the water

Cheers Damien

no worries. is the race at wello too? you get well soon.

Hey. I'm 5 minutes from wello and always happy for an excuse to get on the water. Ps I have a cnc machine so could knock up a nut in 5 minutes;)

Yes I am but it took me 6 years before I was able to move from Ipswich to Wellington point!! Haha that sucked on so many different levels lol

Congrats to Vando for saving the day. Ready for tomorrows good winds

Hi Winddragon

I tried Thompsons yesterday for the first time it was pretty good - bit of a walk to get out but not so far on the way back in as tide was coming in.

great. should/will go to try the spot if you and Glynn Merrit hv said it is good for learning.
