where on earth is the best place to live for a windsurfer?(town,street,closes sailing location,strong winds,no swimmers or rocks,never ending wind, no kiters a.k.a death from above) or as close to this as possible failling that were is the worst place to live?????
Pretty hard question to answer. All depends whats important to you. Probably the best way is a process of elimination. So for a start eliminate Alice Springs, Mount Isa and Sydney.
Probably some island in the Southern Ocean like Macquarie Island would meet all of your criteria: strong wind, no swimmers, bound to be somewhere without rocks, no kiters and never ending gale winds too.
i heard coco's keelng islands are good but the kiters have made pilgrimages there often
Yours is a reasonable list of criteria. I would only add plenty of women.
It seems da wind and seasons are getting worse everywhere, so perhaps there is no safe bet anymore ??
none the lest someone out there must know where the windsurfer paradise resides
till then i will just leech these forums until my local winds pick up
I think Chris is still in Maui mode.
Then again I look at the Google shots of the north shore all the time and I havent been since 06.
I love that shot of Camp One.
I've managed to convince my girlfriend that we need to spend two weeks there next year Love that place!
On the subject of Maui, here's a little video of Craig & Blasting across the reef at Sprecks. Enjoy.
Maui does not fit your criteria. There are many swimmers there and the pressure is on to close beaches to windsurfers during much of the day to make it safer for them. Plus many kiters go there too. Big crowds creates bad vibes and regulations. Plus its full of yanks.
Based on the other thread, perhaps Lord Howe Island would be better for you. You can have the whole lagoon and reefs to yourself, Lordhowe and a few fortunate visitors.
I agree with Mobydisc (as much as I hate it )and his obvious comment: it's full of yanks. As a place to live, you have to be prepared to live with that and agree with them - else, that's all.
He's also right that there are fewer windsurfing-able beaches than used to. One would have to choose the living spot more carefully than 20 years ago, when you could launch from just about anywhere.
Awww comon Pierre, come back to Aus. I'll buy you beer and you can scratch my tummy. Then we can be friends and you can teach me some freestyle trickery.
You can buy me beer, mate, but me ain't gonna scratch you anywhere, not even with a barge pole.
Having said that, if ever you come Hawaii, Hatteras or Florida, let me know. I try to sail those places when I'm around for other matters.
