Hi Guys

Need some advice form windsurfing community.
I want to start windsurfing in Brisbane just about to buy my first board .
What would be the best set for me to start with?
I am thinking about new jp explorer or funster ?
I am 85 kg should i go 160 or 145 board .
What s your opinions regards those boards ,have you got any other recommendations?
What would be the best sail size for me up there any brands i should consider ( models ,sizes)
Thanks

Mate good on you for getting into the sport. There is allot to learn about gear and I think the best idea is to talk to an expert. Go to board crazy in brissie and get the expert advice it could save you heaps of $ in the long run and make the learning curve easier. See you out there!

Yep, Simon at Board Crazy is the way to go

Yup totally agree flick board crazy an email toi to see when they start up there lessons too Simon was great in helping me get going..

The bigger the better, I would go the 160lt board and a 5.5m2 - 7m2 sail. Get some lessons from a local club or as they say above from Board Crazy. Lake Cootharaba has lessons most Sundays as well and so does Sandgate as well I think.

Dont be to scared to push your limits, the more you push the better you will get in a shorter time. Also dont let the wind scare you to much either, if its stronger winds find a spot you can sail in calmer waters, the more wind you can handle the better you will get to know you and your boards limits.

Good Luck and happy sailing.
