Burrum is a very windy place compared to further south.

I lived in bundaberg for a while and it just blows and blows. When we get 20knots at the goldcoast or brisbane you can nearly always guarentee its blowing 30knots there
Theres only a couple of people that windsurf in bundy and your always sailing alone. After a few months it gets boring because theres know one else to challenge but yourself.
