Hi all
I am very keen to start windsurfing or kitesurfing, I live in Wynnum and I want to get out on the water both to keep fit and because it looks like great fun. I am not a surfer but I have done a few lessons in windsurfing and I am slowly picking it up. Which sport would you guys recommend for me to take up. Also I have a very low budget, is there somewhere where I can hire/buy equipment?
Cheers Dee
You will find both parties passionate about their sports, i am a windsurfer but like the idea of throwing a kite in the boot of the car and just a small bag of goodies, also like the idea you can generally sail a kite in lighter winds, but love windsurfing and just cannot be dragged away, you need to try both.Plenty of second hand gear in these forums just click on buy and sell
being a boland, like me 
your only course of action is windsurfing!
is that seriously your surname?
no doubt both are great sports Ive been windsurfing 20+ years just so much to learn with windsurfing I still love it
.
as far as kites sailing in lighter wind well that not really true
.
Cross country skiing is better for fitness and you'd get about the same amount as you would windsurfing or kiting in Brisbane.
.... sigh
Yes Vando your right with the modern kit you can probably sail in the lighter winds.
Loft are pushing me hard to buy their stuff hows it working out?
Seems like near half the price of the pride stuff
Ive been on them for 3 years now and havnt looked back.
great sails but then I am Biased.
check them out have ago there's a few down your way.
2011 Blades are the best looking so far and they now rig on both RDM and SDM mast from 6.3 and up.
