what is to offer at Lord Howe in terms of windsurfing?

Sorry, just to clarify.... there is plenty of other accomm available on the island for this period. So, anybody who is interested in coming for these 2 weeks can come- the more the merrier.
Contact me and i can look into organising alternative arrangements.
I only organised accomm for 12... it seems there is more interest out there.

Hi guys, rental/demo fleet will be roughly this with hopefully some 2010 gear as well. This will be the minimum we will have:
JP FSW - 77, 84, 92, 93(07)
JP supersport - 100, & a 118 or similar style slalom board
sails:
Firefly 5.7, 6.1
Fly 4.8,5.1,4.8
Helium 7.5, 8.5
Hellcat 7.2
Alpha 4.7
Combat 4.2
plus my personal quiver ie whatever I'm not using you can use:
JP 84 FSW 08 pro, 77 Fanatic FW 07, JP Supersport 91 Pro 09, JP Supersport 109 Pro 08,
Lord Howe Aquatic Club - 140L Funride 09, 09 6.4 excess.
This will all be available for between $150-$200 per week on a 'rotational use basis' ie you don't have it for the whole time. Everybody swaps around and tries different things. Also if you are just having a go on things, there will be no charge, however if you don't bring a board and are relying on the above gear to sail, charges will apply.
If you want to have a specific piece of gear for the whole time, you're looking at around $400.
This 'fleet' is designed so people can try different things and have a change up or a change down from their main board which they bring.
As i said, if you did want a specific bit of gear for the whole time, that could be arranged but for $400 p/week.
If you elect to bring your own gear, as the initial post says, for $250 return it's on the island.
Hope this clears things up.

lotofwind - lordhowe is good for kiting in the winter if you're up to handling up to 35K on your kite. The only thing you have to watch out for is the plane arrival times so you're not near the approach while aircraft are landing.
Hausey has kited over here a few times and he says it is great, he discovered a perfect little wave to be had down the south end of the lagoon. If you're interested you should pm him because he will be able to talk kiting alot better than i can!

I had a read thru last years blog of the trip and damn it looked a lot of fun.

Will need to run it past the other half.
Are any others planning to take partners who dont sail and if so is there enuf to keep em occupied while you sail ? :)
