GDAY SA windsurfers,
I"am from nsw and working down here in Port Pirie,does anyone windsurf at Wyhalla? I think it would make a pretty good speedsailing spot,at low tides with exposed sandbanks.cheers craig
Ive sailed there with freestyle gear a few times. Its super windy, and gets nice and flat. Take a weed fin (shallow water weed fin better), and watch out for kites.
G'day Craig,
Usually there is plenty of good sea breezes in Whyalla. But it has been a bit light on this summer.
Eric has given you a good run down of around Whyalla. If you are after speed sailing checkout the Bogan Speed Team crew on GPSTC especially the the crew sailing Stansbury on Yorke Peninsula. Its probably only a bit further to drive.
If you sail open ocean b&jump come down to Wallaroo, great spot and always keen for sailing company.
I have windsurfed and kitesurfed the area a few times over the years, but as you can see from this old video, Whyalla even gets a few waves! I know it's kitsurfing, but gives you a good idea of what to expect.
