Hi guys i am new to the sport and just wondering how many guys are around hear that do it? also if anyone in the local area has any old gear thay want to sell? looking for a adjustable boom plus any thing else people may have thay don't need anymore

Welcome aboard Greg,
Unfortunately I gave a heap of my old kit away to a family member who's had a crack at learning last summer but didn't push on much after that, I'll check his status on wether he intends to keep trying or has given up.
It involves a complete 5.6m wave rig but no board.
I keep a spare or two with me incase I have a breakage so you never know.
I have a young family and only sail when it's 20 knots or more once or twice a week wich isn't good early stage learning conditions.
As for you HAAK stay away from him as he has clearly made the right choice of water craft

Thanks for the welcome guys, yea haak i live in conroe the house with the big black trailer,i think half the town know me by it. I have a couple of old naish areo kites in the shed allready. I gave it a bit of a go years ago but got scared and their been in the shed ever sence, allways say i should get them out but never got arround to it. Thanks pilchard that would be good , im getting a 5.8 sail from jimbob who was nice enough to donate it to me . I allso have a young familly and getting time to sail is hard. I just spent 2 weeks at portland and it was good just to be able to drive 5 mins and sale. The gear i have is verry old but it works it's a old 80's windsurfer brand board and old cloth sails,the board is 3.7 long withe a drop in centre board ,im only 65kg so its like a boat nice and stable, the mast just go's into a rectangle slot. i would like convert it to a newer style mast mount and mast extention or get a board to suit. I only paid $80 for the gear i have and have had alot of fun out of it! Will have to catch up with you guys some time and have a chat

Guys if your heading to Beachport or Robe for a sail, can someone text me, Im trying to get into windsurfing and need all the motivation and education I can get,

Don't worry haak, I haven't jumped ship...

Cheers

We are doing Robe on Sunday...

Robe should be pretty good as well but I think the swell might drop a bit over night . Should be 20 plus knots there tomorrow.

Bit further south (Nene Valley) had mast high all day today but a tad on shore (Middleton tack, started forming about 1 km off shore). 20 knots.
Missed a good one Pilly

Turning south east tomorrow and staying there for the next 3 days = happy days.

Good size nene valley cross shores instead. 18-20k low tide. Best light wind wavesail in ages. Big smooth walls. Bring on tomorrow

18-20k

Me thinks ya need a new wind meter Pilly.

ya right , those logo's high waves were a nice but I had better fun inside to day for some reason, might be an old age thing

Whats with all that walking in 18 > 20 knots[}:)]

I cant believe how much the sand has washed away either, down side of having 6m swell I guess.

Think the boys are having a look at Pebbles first thing tomorrow.
