Had a trip over there from Qld in Dec hired a 3 berthcamper van from Myaree car rentals,picked it up at the airport and dropped it off there as well,good service and good people to deal with every thing went smooth.Good to have wheels to travel and sleep and have an ice cold beer waiting in the fridge at the end of a big session.

Scarborough probably isn't the place to sail for you. There is a strong along-shore current when the wind and waves combine that make getting planning out through even a small swell difficult for anyone less than an experienced wavesailor. Not much chance of rig damage in the small waves, but gets frustrating and tiring. Leighton Beach, Dutch Inn, Woodmans Point (if you want some speedsailing and chop jumping), are all good to the south. Pinaroo Pt to the north is OK if you don't mind weed and kiters.

Else, if you are going to come all the way from over east, make the most of what the west has to offer and head up to Lancelin and stay a night or two. Flat water / waves / dunes / surf / pub / camping ground....it has it all and everyones tastes are catered for. Its only a little over an hour's drive from the centre of Perth.

heaps of accomadtion in scarbs, from backpackers to the BIG UGLY eye sore reet in the middle of the beach.

yeh ill meet up for a blast guys!

Let me know when and where and ill try and get along!

battyboy - whats ya number... we going off the net early next week...

Will call ya when we get there and figure out whats what...

we were thinking of spending about 2 days around lancelin area and then 2 days around freemantle area and moving up and down the coast from those areas sorta thing to try it all out...

Dont worry about the forecast, its to early to tell - it WILL change!!!

I can keep an eye on the graphs while your over here and try and direct you to the best place accordingly and if i can make it for a sail then thats a bonus!

Im only doing bump and jump stuff at the mo and a little bit of wavesailing so if you are hardcore I may hinder you but we can still meet if ya want!

Best to remove your mobile number from a public forum and PM it to him.
