Mate, there's a guy up your way at Tinaroo selling exactly what you need (JP Funster plus sail and rig and harness) in the Seabreeze Buy/Sell section but I personally reckon he's asking a little too much money so if you can talk him down a little on price you'll have the perfect beginner setup.

I seen that and thought the same thing .
I saw it on gumtree for $1800
Id say $ 1200 , 1400 is fair if all in top Nic.
When learning skills are mastered , you will want a bigger sail .
Then.......
You will be one of ussss ..........one of ussssssss.

There is no turning back .
Saying all that you can buy an complete old big board dunger for $100
Ps , if you do this make sure the mast to board connection is new . $30.

This, but skip the 7.0 and make sure the board can take a foil.
