its a bloody long beach ,anywhere along the shore ,you have grass areas ,and most of the accommodation is across the street
Little lagoon is also pretty cool when its to windy at Denham as the chop gets up .great speed runs ,we sailed everyday ,
WE are stuffed and sore now ,9 days of 18-28 knots ,broke one alloy boom ,take spares as the next shop is 4- 5 hours drive away ,

one must ask Tardy as a tourist how you manage to bring/lug around so much gear..way more than us locals do. I manage to carry 3 boards, 2 booms and 6 sails and three fins that I actually use but your board count??? well I lost count after around 8..I can definitely see 5 actual boards plus at least 5 board bags that may or may not have boards inside...looks like you need more sails though, you only have around 8...and only 2 booms...can only imagine your fin quiver

my windsurf van died a couple of years ago
now we have only one car and it's a Toyota Prius C hatchback

one day I drove by a couple at the beach trying to stuff everything back in their van
they saw that I had a JP SLW92 and large sail inside my car and just started laughing ...

someone once said not enough gear and too much gear are similar dilemmas LL

now I manage to put the JP on top with towels n straps ...

I am lucky enough to have a windsurfing friend in WA , who kindly stores my gear
there is 4 of us on the road trip 3 boards are their SUPs , I only have 3 boards 5 sails 3 masts and 2 booms , if you are a tourist you could do it with 1 board and 2 sails, I only use weed fins in Denham
19 delta , 31,32,34 carbon weeds

And don't forget the canals on the eastern side. Yes, I am the only windsurfer surrounded by kiters and wingers

lol, I remember that beach. My windsurfing partner in crime put THE car key down next to her rig in the rotting weed and forgot to pick it up again before heading to the water. Took 2 hrs of searching to find it.
