Hello, only new to this. Ive been down to Sandringham hired a setup for an hour and plan to get some lessons soon. Thought i did really well with no instructions and just having a go. Good old YouTube before i went down there to get some pointers.
Anyway i did the buy some old windsurfing stuff on eBay thing

yes some would say that's a bad idea but for the little amount of money Ive spent on eBay and the couple of things Ive bought from SHQ I think Ive got some OK gear to start with old gear but OK.
I'm looking for somewhere to practice. I live in Aspendale, so yeah Bonbeach etc is the plan but have read some things about Sandy Point and was thinking of going down there this weekend.
So is it a good spot to do some falling in the water practice?, and will there be anyone down there and appropriate conditions? any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
