I go to the beach very often and i always see a few windsurfers, it look awsome and alot of fun.
As buying the windsurfing equiptment is expensive i was wonder if anyone is nice enough to let me have a go on theres?
Or do you know of any demo days where they let people try the sport before buying
The beaches i usally goto between mordialloc and morington any spot along there is good for me but i am willing to travel further down to phillip island and maybe even further
Thanks

Why don't you come down to Elwood beach (Elwood Sailing Club) and meet myself and many other windsurfers. We have a One Hour race starting from 2pm with a BBQ afterwards.
With regards to windsurfing spots in the areas you mentioned, also refer to WV newsletter for highlighted beachs like Bonbeach, Keast Park and Frankston to name few. Also refer to the website;

thanks for all the info but i just relised that this is in the wrong part of the forum as it was meant to be kitesurfing not windsurfing sorry
i created a new topc in the correct forum but i cant find how to delete this one,
so hopefully someone will find this info helpfull
sorry about the mistake again
I see this all the time. People see the kites, but are more familiar with the term Windsurfing.
How many people get this comment?
"Oh you windsurf, have you tried kitesurfing yet?"
Or
"Is that kite thing I see?"
Blah..
