You can hire at Lano and some shops (but veyr litlee gear at shops)..... dunno about Corro.

If you really can't bring your own gear and are here for a while, go Euro style and buy cheap secondhand then sell it when leaving.

How long, and when?

You two ought to meet up, share a few brewskis and talk about the good times you've had on Seabreeze together. That is what the interweb is all about.

Whats are the best places to windsurf close to perth that have like bump and jump type of conditions??

Hey mark what date is king of the points boat leaving?? wonder if i will be up there at that time?? i could may be come along as a camera dude

Lancelin is an hours drive north.
When I lived there for a season, I favoured North Leighton Beach, I think. That was 1996, so memory could be way off.
City Beach was good too, gnarly shore-break though. Cottlesloe is popular, but it has a difficult reef on the entry, which I crunched a few fins on.
North Leighton was definitely my favourite spot. (I think)

what are the chicks like in wa?? is there many of em??? cause where we come from me and me bro there all snapped up

If flying even take one board, 2 sails, mast and boom. You get 5kgs extra sport allowance. Gear will be under 20 kgs leaves 5kgs plus carryon for clothes. I took to qld too easy.

Flipper, they are taking the piss out of you.

There are no chicks in Eneabba, just grain silos.

If you want chicks you gotta head a little further, just past Eneabba, the next place you will hit is Meekatharra. Plenty of chicks there and a thriving night life.

If you got time head one stop further north on the Joondalup line of the rail and spend a couple of days in Wiluna.

Why not send that dude that was asking about engineers your CV and see if you can get a plumb job at Oakajee and stay for a couple of years ?

I'm not going to WA this year or next. I went there a couple of years ago and in the summer of 97/98 and had a great time.

Flipper there are plenty of girls in WA. I'm not sure if its still the case but there was a bit of a scene happening in Lancelin during summer where Perth girls would go up there for the weekend to have a good time with the tourist windsurfers.

you fellas have giving me some good advise here i must cut and paste this post all you fellas seem to give me better advise on chicks in Wa than the windsurfing. Well its all good

whats the story with the wind in WA????? do you normally not get much wind in spring?? do you need some heat like say a few hot days over 25 or 30 degrees to creat that trade wind affect you guys get??? I am abit surprised to the reason why you guys have been skunked for so long thats all We have been getting wind here in Vic, but our weather is alot colder than you guys.

The best time of the year for sailing south of lancelin, when it blows its nuts off is from about May through to the end of September, in between the equinoxes as the sun is closest to the equator during this time.

During the late spring through summer you would want to base yourself north, from Eneeaba, through to Meekathara though it does get a little cool so make sure you pack a wetsuit, steamer or long arms short legs at least...

I don't think the "chicks" in WA are quite ready for someone of your calibre Flipper, I think you are too sophisticated (pronounced sof-is-tick-ate-ed)
