You are coming in the wrong time but guess there's plenty to do even if there's no wind. Not much blows in the winter normally. What you have (free formula n 9.4m sail) would give you the most hours on the water if one were to bring just one board one sail. It will keep you afloat for sure too! Sharks? What sharks. You seldom see them from top
. You need to worry more about seaplanes, boats and jetskis at the Broadwater!
You can windsurf all along the Broadwater (just watch sandbanks), end of Smith Street is called the 'train' where most windsurfers sail. Further up at Runaway bay is another popular spot called 'Shearwater' (Shearwater Esplanade) but has to time is right with tide and wind direction. Both spots are flat water. Stay clear from canal outlets though, that's where the deep water is and traffic of underwater creatures is a bit more active
.
If you wanna get some surf action, plenty of popular spots on the ocean front, right from Broadbeach, Narrowneck, down to Currumbin. I suggest you start with the train, make a few friends there and go from there. If you rather not bring anything, we do gear rental and have everything from wave to formula gear, short to long term, and you can swap gear as often as you like for a small fee. Or if you want to take a lesson to learn waterstarts, just give us a bell. We are the only Yachting Australia Training Centre in Brisbane, and there are none on the Gold Coast. If timing is right, you might like to join in our certified courses, all listed at
