We all have our own local spots for convenience and financial necessity (work), but if we weren't constrained where would be the best place on the East Coast to live and enjoy our sport?
One day fanatic02 is going to get sick of his FIFO job and open up a windsurfing caravan empire. Then I'll ask him to build me the most AWESOME windsurfing toy hauler ever. Then like Mathew says, home is where the wind is . I'm thinking Shark Bay Sep to Oct. Gero Nov to Dec. Lake George Jan to Feb. Get a bit stuck after that. Green Island? Maybe just move to Maui Mar to Aug. Which might work cos AJEaster says that's the only hope I've got of finding a nice windsurfing man to tighten my downhaul . Ooops. Off topic. East coast. Mathew's craft is the only option. The east coast is only good for people with the freedom to chase wind
Easy, where I live now. Melb is 2 hrs away , the pit is 1 hr, local is 10 mins and for no wind the surf is 5 min with no crowds. Living the dream ...... Now if I could just afford to give up work
Novice at windsurfing here but always Frothing - from what I've read about El Neno effects, this Summer is gonna rock at Peely!
However I could be a bit delusional after no F/&en wind for so long!!!!!!!!
COME ON HUEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!??
A little bit east of Albany
Hmmm.......nothing much to offer a little bit east of Albany (coming from an 'Albanian'!)
For your hobby, best to move to 1980. lol
Just joking, but lots of spots between newcastle and byron bay with good summer NE and winter southerlies with no crowds and good waves.
If you head out on week days its hard to find a spot with anyone out a lot of the time. PARADISE
Is that Michael Fix on the strings Phil?
Nah, it's from a band called Hayseed Dixie - a bluegrass hillbilly pickin' yeehaw band. Exact guitarist, dunno, they've gone through some members.
As for a place to live and windsurf. Gotta say sunny South West Rocks- but only if you like beautiful unspoilt areas and epic bump 'n' jump conditions. We're only talking spring and summer though...

And your neighbours play banjos

Not quite, but Roos do bounce past the front door and dancing possums on the roof
Most probably the best bet would be to go up to north Queensland in winter and down to somewhere like the south coast of NSW in summer. So either own a house in both areas or somewhere in the middle and then live in a campervan or caravan.
I think Moby is pretty much on the money with a house on the South Coast of NSW, but a 40 foot catamaran to sail around the reef loaded with windsurfing equipment is more appropriate for far North Qld in winter, as the water is so much clearer offshore.

Wouldn't fit all mine..
right next to an airport! so you can fly somewhere windy, like NQ or Maui in winter and WA in summer!

Same with more choices
I love home here and I Lived everywhere before this paradise with a bit off cool ?? too it ??
A pole dancer might like to chase some wind at Shark Island. VVV
If your not into big heaving shark island, the nulla also throws out a good summer serve of 20-25knot seabreezes with 2-3ft waves and boardshort warm water.
I dont mind it.
As salty Nic said get one of these and chase the wind
Such a tidy club house
Phhfff,coffee no one drinks beer anymore after sailing,the gustbusters beer supply has rusty twist tops,every trailer needs a 100ltr fridge????
