A little bit south of Wollongong and the steelworks at Cringilla. Its not exactly a holiday destination. There is a caravan park on the lake at Windang but its very weedy and stinky there.

There is good windsurfing to be had around the Illawarra.

hey boys.

Man ive got to get a small fin and join you guys. It looks epic!!!!!!!! Hopefully bring me soe good times like leo and craig

see u all soon

you may also need a wheelchair.

gr8 pics ta, flat as it looks?

It is flat, and it gets really flat when it gets really shallow. You can see it in the foreground, where the chop disappears, it's about knee deep. And it gradually gets shallower until it's ankle depth. The good thing is the bottom is consistently the same depth, so no sudden sand banks.

I use a couple of 12.5cm fins, and sail accordingly. Have to wash the sand outta my wetsuit after a big crash.

So no using the 48cm fin then?

Plenty of deeper water there also. Formula boards and 16 foot skiffs can find plenty of water to hold races in. In westerlies, in cold weather we just tend to sail in the knee deep stuff. Another 200 metres to the north is the channel, sizeable chop running down it in a westerly. You can use the channel markers for some challenging gybing practice. Did a few last week but after a full immersion, I'll give that a break for a few months.
