Hi,
I'm part of the RMIT Outdoors Club, we have a whole bunch of windsurfers sitting in a shed at the Bundoora campus rotting away slowly. Last year they were stored in the city and we ran some day trips to Lysterfield to teach people the basics. Trying to run a day trip there now though seems would be a 2 hour epic journey each way.
Does anyone have suggestions for lakes round the north that would be suitable for beginners to drift around?
So far i've had Edwardes lake in Resivour, Lillydale Lake and Greenvale reserve suggested. Any other suggestions or advice on which of these is most suitable would be great.
Thanks,
Tom
You could try Sugarloaf Reservoir- there is a sailing club there- www.sailsugarloaf.com/home.php
We did field trips there from RMIT bundoora for my degree, so it isn't that far away.
Their website says no sailboards, but i assume that relates to their racing days. You may be able to reach an arrangement with them and Melbourne water to allow 1-2 special event days?
Worth a try?
