Visiting WA (from Brisbane) in Feb 26. Haven't sailed over there for decades, long overdue.

Just a couple of queries: is Werner's Hotspot in Lancelin still operating in the summer months, and have any gear hire places popped up in Geraldton since I last checked? I see there is a kite operation at Corro now, but assume no windsurfing gear available?

Any advice appreciated.

Search these forums, there's a few similar posts. Member Gerowaterboy might be able to help out.

Thanks, I'm certainly trying to search as best I can as I understand these are common questions, but not having a heap of success with the search function (e.g. 0 hits for "Lancelin").

I'll keep trying.

I'd buy 2nd hand on here and either take it back to bris or one of us will sell it for u.My folks live near Coolum Beach and whenever I've been there it's been windy and waves, but never anyone out. How come? was thinking of taking gear over. Never seen it howling so I reckon floaty wave board and 5/5.5.
