It's literally the best place on the east coast for flatwater windsurfing ... Soooooooooooooo good!

It works all winter (the locals can be more specific). I assume June/July would be the best. I spent all of last June there...sailed nearly every day with +20 knots perfect sideshore from the top of the island. It's a decent length boatride out from Cairns each day but you are sailing on the reef and it's so spectacular.

Looks a bit like this.

We helped a few of the WA freestylers to enter last year, looked like a great trip.

That looks spectacular sailing, Green Island has just made my radar.

Productivity halved today due to sneaky research on winter holiday.

The nationals were there last June. The search button will give you plenty of results like this: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/Australias-Windsurf-Slalom-Paradise/?SearchTerms=green,island

I did hesitate, the first time my wife watched that she fell on the floor laughing, people are so cruel

Now they're big enough to give a jellyfish a horn
