I've been on long service leave for a month and it's been crap in Adelaide. If it wasn't for doing house improvements, the holiday would be a complete disaster. I've had about 6 sails. One excellent one in Adelaide. Another good one in Stansbury. The rest crap.

My question is, in descenting order, what cities are the best for Windsurfing (including smaller centres like Newcastle and Cairns). The criterion is: the city must have good employment prospects (ie: Gove NT excellent dry season trade winds but crap employment prospects, so not considered, same thing for Cocos Island and Norfolk Island). The spot criterion is any sort of wind: B&J, freeride, anything that gets you out and planing. Big gear sessions included. The centre must have spots that can be driven to less than 50km to make it practical for after work sessions etc. Having only sailed in SA, this would be my approximate guess:

Geraldton
Perth
Hobart
Cairns (trade winds)
Melbourne
Brisbane
Newcastle
Adelaide
Sydney
Darwin (trade winds)

Thoughts ?
