Hi guys & girls,
Totally new to the sport and love it, what took me so long ??? As you all have been in the same boat as me i was wondering what size board and sail would suit me .Im about 80kg and have had some lessons but dont want to spend a fortune up front as i want to have some fun and enjoy myself ,
Any ideas or info on some good gear that might be for sale or what to stay clear from would be much appreciated,
Also is there a good windsurf shop around adelaide that might have used gear ?
Cheers and look forward to your replies

On board at the bay is the only local windsurfing shop. They are great supporters of windsurfing in Adelaide. They usually have some good second hand gear. Another good place to get second hand gear is here on sea breeze .
What did you learn on?
What sails did you use?
Where are you going to sail?
Can you turn around and come back?

Pretty friendly bunch here on SB, don't be shy

You seem to have forgot the Strath Windsurfing Shop the only purely windsurfing shop in South Australia!! Funny considering you are on their facebook page!

Tayz, we will be at Kent reserve at victor harbour tomorrow

Send us a message if keen, we got some gear if you keen for a sail

Go and see Pete at Onboard- Whilst he has to make a living and will add his margin, he will genuinely try and get you the right second hand gear to get you going.

Thanks guys,
Still havin a few lessons but gettin ready to get some gear of my own, I have only used the learners boards & 5 sail, I can tack & getting through gybe slowly.
Need some more time on the water to get it nailed, Gotta start somewhere lol.
Will take on board any tips as time goes on .

Cheers davaldo for your offer but work takes care of this weekend but will let you know when im free & might catch up ,

Cheers Brodw for your info and i will be sure to check it out,

Great to chat with others who enjoy the wind & water.

i have a 4.7 gaastra manic, a 4.2 severne s1 and a boom you can have. needs to be picked up by sunday from Largs bay or it goes to the dump. All working order. Sold my house so need them gone.

Hi Tayz,

I am a novice as well, where do you sail and who gives you lessons?

Just doin the west lakes drill and taught by windsup. Great crowd.

I Have a medium chinook carbon extension you can have , pick up in Belair

Depends on your budget but I have some practically brand new sails for very cheap.
