There is a flat water scene in Brisbane that is quite popular, to wavesail you will need to travel an hour or so south to the Gold Coast or a couple of hours north to the Sunshine Coast.

Gear depends on weight and how much you want to sail, if flatwater is your thing you will need at least a 7.5 (or maybe larger). If you just want to get wave gear sails between 5.0 and 6.0 will be the go. We occasionally get days to use smaller than 5.0, but it's pretty rare.

Airlines will get you out of brisbane to Perth, most will take you gear however be careful of excess baggage costs. Depending on how you book you could a one way for anything from $200aud to $600aud.
