GDAY SA windsurfers,
I"am from nsw and working down here in Port Pirie,does anyone windsurf at Wyhalla? I think it would make a pretty good speedsailing spot,at low tides with exposed sandbanks.cheers craig

PK from Port Lincoln works up at Whyalla and sails there occasionally.
Very tide dependant.

G'day Craig,
Whyalla is a great place to sail strongest seabreezes in SA on most days. Foreshore is very tidal,look at tide times once it is 1m there is enough water. Weed fin is an absolute must. False bay can be lots of fun in 30 knots when the tide is too low at the foreshore. Also Pt Lowly is another option. No need to worry about the kiters in Whyalla very friendly bunch and more than happy to share the water with you and some are ex windsurfers so say g'day.. Most have finished kiting by the time the tide is in far enough for a weed fin to get out. PK is your man if he's not playing golf.

G'day Craig,

Usually there is plenty of good sea breezes in Whyalla. But it has been a bit light on this summer.

Eric has given you a good run down of around Whyalla. If you are after speed sailing checkout the Bogan Speed Team crew on GPSTC especially the the crew sailing Stansbury on Yorke Peninsula. Its probably only a bit further to drive.

If you sail open ocean b&jump come down to Wallaroo, great spot and always keen for sailing company.

Watch out for razor fish

Not too many of these around anymore only found around Blue line in the weed beds. If you have to fall of don't jump fall flat on your back don't put your feet down.

There used to be heaps of them around in 1978

Pickled razor dish hearts has seen the local population shrink.

Ha ha, The point back before we bought surf boards!!!!
