I am visiting Byron Bay in September and would like to have a windsurf. Is there any one in the region who hires out gear or even better provides lessons?
I normally sail on a flat water and get by uphauling, I would like to learn how to water start.
I am hiring a car and can travel around Northern NSW.
Thanks
Dogger

I used to live round that area.
Saw this ad but don't know anything else about them: These guys are in Ballina.

Jason sold all the windsurfing gear and trailer a few years ago and only does kites now. As Glynn said there is not much for hire or lessons between Port and the GC. Plenty of places to windsurf but not a lot of recommendations for learners. As above you can try Lake Ainsworth but just remember the teatree water stains.

I agree with with Ducat as we both live there and sailed BYRON for many years.

September northerlies at The Pass at Byron Bay are awesome, best time of the year
Winds are onshore with only a small wave

The last time I did that (Jan 2014) I saw the logger-head turtles hanging around those bits of rock straight off Main Beach.
