G'day,
I'm a uni student (studying in Newcastle), and I've been keen to get into windsurfing for a while but I have no idea where to really begin. I've done a lesson or so a while back, and I've done heaps of sailing in my time so I understand (some) of the concepts. Now I could buy a board and go from there, but I think I've still got a fair bit to learn before I go into finding a board and sticking with it for a while (also getting a board around isn't the easiest for me).
I know there's a good bit of windsurfing down at Lake Maq, and I'm definitely keen to get down there when I can but its a bit of a hike for sure.

Does anyone have any suggestions to how I could get into windsurfing and have a real go?

+1 on Barry's recommendation. We can help you get going then point you in the right direction.

Marmong is a good spot to learn, easy access to the water and fairly shallow for the first 50m.

If you don't have a car, the 271 bus from Glendale goes right past the club. Punch "13 George St, Marmong Point" into transportnsw.info/ and you'll see all the options. Hope to meet you soon.

Thanks, Barry.

I'll give you a call later today or tomorrow and sort stuff out.
