Hello all. I am visiting Australia for the first time in early July and hoping to be able to sail near Cairns. Any advice on gear availability (rental) and locations is welcomed!

Na not me, I'm not that good looking

I don't think there is any hire gear here any more. I think the local kite shop borrowed some gear to hire out to a tourist last year, so that might be a possibility again. I'm going bush camping the first week of July, but if you are going to be here after then send me a message before June 26th. I've got a mate comming over from the 16th of July and we will be hitting Green Island while he's here.
The coast here is a little hit & miss but Green is the duck's nuts.
