Hello, from Normandy (north-west of France),
I will come next month to Adelaide for 2 weeks (for a business travel) and I will come again in the next months/years.
I will use my free time to visit Adelaide and the surrounding aeras. But, as an addict windsurfer, I cannot resist the call of the wind (even more if the place is sunny and the sea is warm).
I fund an interesting post in this forum about the spots around Adelaide (www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/South-Australia/Windsurfing-Spots-Adelaide?page=1) but no information about gear rental.
Do you know where I can find a windsurfing school/shop/rental service?
Do you a website with some more information: spots, to know who goes where...
I am looking for any kind of conditions (and gear): I usually practise foil, slalom-speed and (occasionally) waves.
In any case, I am really impatient to discover this place more than 16.400km distant from my home spot (www.normandie-windsurf.fr/spots/nord-cotentin/collignon/)
Thanks.

thanks for your proposition and the friendly welcome.
I will be in Adelaide from the 3rd to the 15th of February and very excited to meet windsurfers from the "other side of the earth" ;-)

I will have a car... And work just near North Haven.
My wetsuit is already in my suitcase

It was nice to meet you and have a good sail at North Haven with an unusually warm seabreeze ... but you will definitely need the wetsuit on your next trip :)

Hi All,

My boyfriend and I will be visiting Adelaide from the end of august till the end of december this year. I will be working at the university, my boyfriend is looking to do some temporary work and sailing courses. We are both windsurfers and we would like to get on the water as often as possible in our free time. Can anyone help us finding some gear? Is rental an option? I've read something on this forum about buying gear and then selling it when we leave?

(we are looking for some wave/freeride gear, not too big) :)

Flying our gear with us is way too expensive :(

Thanks!

Plenty of crew with some sails n boards sitting unused in their sheds - best suss out things when u get here - I know I've got a 5.0 blade 4.2 manic and 5.7 S1 - 2 enigma booms and a 400 carbon mast gathering dust - in my shed - shouldn't b too hard to come up with something

cheers Russh

Hey Soto. Be in touch when you are back, although we are moving more into pure wave sailing and further away from the local beaches now...

Hi Soto. I have a JP 85L FSW board and some masts you can borrow. Regarding wettie: You could be a man sailor and sail in your jocks like Hayden and Bondy ? . Mob: 0466 104586. Good luck nailing the good winds.

Yeah man.
I got slalom and wave sails.
Freerace and wave boards you can use.
Its not brand new. But its not too old (2014/15) gear.
Happy to lend it out.

Hi Oliver,
Come down to Seacliff on Tuesday the 18th. The forecast looks fantastic, and there will be plenty of crew to meet.
