Howdy all, my partner has just got a transfer so we're leaving sunny sydney and heading north to Bris vegas. Been up there a few times, sailed at coloundra and loved it but id be looking for closer spots, like freeride and im im looking at getting into freestyle so shallow spot would be great.
Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Oooh, Nundah is north side. Closest sailing would be Sandgate then Reddy (Redcliffe), maybe 30 minute drive. There's no flat water to speak of in that area afaik. Its all bay bumps. South side has both bumps and flat maybe 45min drive from there.
