Excellent news Tom, I'm moving back to coffs in a few weeks after 20 years away. I have a unit about 2 blocks back from the marker you spotted on park beach, Deano(DISM) is keen for anyone to sail with but is at uni a lot of the time but will be back late november, about the same time I get back, Looking forward to meeting Deano and Mabbot(woopi I think).
Ive been drooling over the seabreezes they have been getting there latley as I also plan to sail any arvo when windy and any weekend.
I have to wait till my tenants get out to move into our unit, they have until 29 dec but hope they move sooner, will be killing time at old bar until they move.
See you down there,
Will PM you contact details

will be home in yamba for a few days in middle of the month. will be keen to hit up flat rock for waves if the wind is good

G'day Tom,

I think I met you the other week at the hoey carpark. I went for a sail at the south side of the island near the surf club. I think you were further north up the beach. I will be in the water during the week following the 7/11.

cheers, Mark

Hey James

I've only been windsurfing for a year

But used to sail dinghies in the harbour, it can get pretty gusty, good in a boat, but probably not that fun windsurfing even with formula gear

But try it, just stay clear of the Muttonbird Island windshadow it lasts about 100m

Used to launch boats from where you can see the top of the 'y' in 'jetty' on the map (alongside the nth breakwall of the harbour), watch the waves bouncing off the wall, I've rolled a few boats there. The harbour has an annoying little shorey

I've been sailing 20mins South in Bellinger River for flatwater stuff (learning), also gusty but ok in a Nth or Sth wind, there is a section that aligns with this near the island just north west of the river mouth at Urunga, not very long runs at all but

Not the best for flatwater around here, but bring your gear and I reckon you'll get a good sail in. Try some open water slalom

Send us a PM and i'll catch you in Coffs after the 22nd
