Hi I was thinking of having a windsurf session at woodies, but haven't been there for years. In fact, only time I was there, I had my car broken into, so never went back........This was a while ago, but it put me off a bit. Also been told that there have been nasty muggings incidents - but this seems to be anecdotal. Ive read on the forum here that the whole car break in thing doesn't happen any more - can any of the regular sailors confirm that its not so much of a problem now? I really can't be doing with any car hassle. thanks for the advice! steve

Ive sailed there for years without being broken into, however there is always lots of broken glass etc. on the carpark.

I think since kitesurfing took off the carparks have been a lot busier, so with all the foot traffic its reduced the amount of break ins (reduced, not stopped).

As long as you do the standard things, i.e. nothing left in view, car locked, no keys under the mudguard etc. you will have as much security as any other carpark.
Just be aware and vigilant.
