I am visiting Byron Bay in September and would like to have a windsurf. Is there any one in the region who hires out gear or even better provides lessons?
I normally sail on a flat water and get by uphauling, I would like to learn how to water start.
I am hiring a car and can travel around Northern NSW.
Thanks
Dogger
I was down there last week to be honest its not a place to learn its open surf with no flat water. I didn't see any hire trailers for windsurfers only kayaks & surf gear.
The only place I can think of on your way would be Jordan's Boat Hire at Port Macquarie. Ive traveled up & down the north NSW coast & there is not much in the way of windsurfing spots until the Port down.
Maybe some hire gear at Broadwater past Surfers Pardise you could try Surf fx there they might help.
I used to live round that area.
Saw this ad but don't know anything else about them: These guys are in Ballina.

September northerlies at The Pass at Byron Bay are awesome, best time of the year
Winds are onshore with only a small wave so if you don't venture out too far U should be OK
But if you're learning, might be best to go to Lake Ainsworth at Lennox Head only 20min south
where they used to have hire gear but not sure now.
Jason sold all the windsurfing gear and trailer a few years ago and only does kites now. As Glynn said there is not much for hire or lessons between Port and the GC. Plenty of places to windsurf but not a lot of recommendations for learners. As above you can try Lake Ainsworth but just remember the teatree water stains.
Cheers

I haven't been there for a long long time, but wasn't the gear at Lake Ainsworth all one-design type stuff?
