hey all, lookin to get a set up. dont know where to start. established surfer, reasonably fit, short fella 164cm and 72kg, live on lake macquarie. any info would be appreciated.
You should get (or find) plenty of info on here.
Arnie,
Not sure which part of the lake you live on (its a big lake!) but you're welcome to come up to the Sailing club at Marmong Point (George St) next Saturday from 1:30pm onwards and you can meet up with a lot of windsurfers. We have a starboard start beginners board that you can have a go on and we can give you a few pointers. Ask for a guy called Barry :)
cheers
james
hey phil, i thought the fishermen out there would be impressed with the catch. i'd like to go to Florida and catch tarpon...with my wife of course. thanks for the advice.
cheers for the invite from the marmong boys, james n ben, work saturdays, so thats a hard one to get to right now. would be great to get there some time. im at blackalls.
joe, i cant claim that pic as mine, a fishing fantasy lets say
Just started my self about a month ago
here are all the same question you ask
it a shame "wind and snow" shop aren't running any demo days until next summer
but ring around see if u can demo a board
personally i just got a 80 cm viper and full rigging from belmoral sailing
( near deewhy, northen beaches )
johnno is a bloody champion
book a learn to windsurf with him , think it about $200 then buy one off his 2ndhand boards
if i could turn back time i would get a 100 cm board as i am soo unco and have no balance
( but i just need practice- i have no surfing or skating boarding exp)
but with your history of surfing , i think you should be fine
PS - dont buy any **** off ebay , i did that and regret it ever since
your always welcome to PM me and u can borrow my gear
