Hi everybody, a quick hello from a french guy who just landed in Sydney a few days ago!

As you can expect, if i'm here, that means i'm a windsurfer too!!! YEAH!
But i only brought a working holiday visa and no board, no sail, nothing

Can anyone help me to find a place where i could buy me a full-gear?
I have, lets say, "intermediate level", which means i know how to use the harness, planing with straps, and trying (difficulty i must say) to jibe!!
In france a sail with 2 boards, one AHD Freediamond (130L 74cm wide) for light-wind, and a Bic e-medium 112L for wind up to 25 knots (after that it begins to get messy).
And 3 sails: 5,8 NP Search, 6,6 North Natural, and an old Gaastra 8. (also a 4,5 but never used it "for real")

I'm planing to move around australia with my future car so i don't know what should be best for me to have here?
Maybe a freeride around 100-110L and 2 sails like those i had? One that could take a few waves (not wave surfer YET)

I'll be around Sydney for the next weeks so i would be happy to know the local windsurfers, maybe have a chat or a BEER

Thank you very much mates for reading my soon to be excellent english!

See you later!

Gilles.

Hi Harrow,

for now i have a room in Summer Hill until sunday, then i have to find something else (how about camping )
I'm going to Canberra to buy my car (long story...) so i'll be back in Sydney friday!

I'll be happy to meet Botany Bay crowd, it sounds like a gang name ahahah!

You can find a lot of gear in the for sale section of this site or for an easier option visit WindSurfnSnow in collaroy ( northern beaches). They have a lot of used gear and can put together a package for you. I think they are also a site sponsor here.
