Thats not too bad eh. Whats the temperature like over there, is a 3/2 wetty enough?

Oh and what sorta gear do you have? Is it hard to BYO?

dism, you're good!

swoosh, yep 3/2 is fine, 17-20 deg water temp.

Bringing gear is possible but can be a bit of a business.

As Dism says, if you do a search on the previous Lord Howe Trips, you'll get an idea of the ins and outs of it. If you want more specific instructions pls feel free to pm me and I can give you the various options.
One of the driving factors behind getting the hire facility up and running was to circumvent the whole gear/ freight thing. Also, by offering the latest gear we thought it would be a simple decision to just go for the 'bring your harness and that's it' mentality.

still looking at insurance fro gear damage. that doesn't include it.

For the time being I think we will just do a pay for repairs thing, stay tuned...

Just Two weeks left to book your winter flights!

Gear can come by ship or freightplane...Qantaslink will not take windsurf gear as checkin luggage. You will probably be ok with boom & sail but they freak out with masts & boards.

There is a freight plane which goes ex Port macquarie, they fly twice weekly, usually tues & Fri. They will take gear over on a priority basis. So, they will always take fresh produce etc before general freight, so you would have to get your gear there at least a full 7 days before you wanted it on the island.

The ship also leaves ex Port macquarie every fortnight, however, in the off season which is the windy season they regularly have 3 week breaks between ships.

So, if you can get your gear to port, and you are willing to be without your gear for a while either side of your visit it's all doable.
Otherwise, if you have a few choice bits of rig you want, bring them on Qantaslink and hire the other bits you need from LordHowe Windsports.

Hope this has been helpfull, if not pm me and we can talk further. Cheers.
