I got a cheap 3/2 longsleeve, for all my sailing in the winter months in brisbane. I reckon i'll probably get a 3/2 shorty once this one wears out!

Even a short sleeve 3/2 will get you through the worst winter.

Queensland's great.

...... you wont forget those words

So I don't need to bring my Long legs, short sleeve Neoprene from Switzerland…

In the area from Mackay to Brisbane, I'm OK with boardies and a 1mm l/s top?
And I guess up north in the Port Douglas and Townswille area, a lycra also dose it, in this time of year (April, Mai and June)?

If you are a kite surfer, you will probably need a full steamer. Windsurfers a much tougher and boardies and a t shirt I'll do! : )

Boardshorts over your steamer are the norm for kiters in this country.We havent quiet worked out why...?

Coming from Switzerland you'll probably be better off buying a portable Air conditioner to keep you cool .

PS - I'm on the Tropic of Capricorn (Yeppoon) and have an O'Neill Superlite John which I might only wear 4 or 5 times during our Winter months oops I mean month.

at that time of year if you are here purely to chase the wind then you might be better off staying in cairns.

may/june in brisbane is typically not that windy in brisbane. green island out from cairns is very good typically at that time of year.

it's only a suggestion but you may be better off starting south and heading north.

don't forget to look into whether you need a stinger suit or not for april/may
