Hey Ty,
Depends on what sort of sailing you're into.
Give us a bit more info or you'll have a list of everywhere in SA with water... and a few without!

Hi Ty, maybe hook up with the Goolwa crew on weekends, we sail at Rankines Landing most weekends, anything with southerly in it and we will be there, RL is on Hindmarsh Island at Goolwa,

Keep a look out here as well for SAWSA events as well, we have a bit going on here in SA at he moment (Robe on Oz day weekend etc)

Southwest = Seacliff or metro coast down to semaphore.
West / Northwest = Victor Harbour
South /sOUTHEAST = Mid Coast or Robe or Semaphore.
Easterly = Victor Harbour

Stay away from the vortex that is lake sailing, there is so much more on offer than sailing the stinking lakes and they do really stink.

The ocean has the goods and the sharks are just a myth.
Plus there's likely to be a kiter eaten before any windsurfer.

Carve up and enjoy the summer.

Before the lakes started to dry up Boggy was a great place to sail. The best fresh water spot I have sailed. Just hope the water comes back one day.
Still great sails to be had on the lakes just not as good a boggy used to be.

Hey i know you boggy guys are scared of the ocean but please!!!!!!!!!!!

Please dont scar this guy into your boggy lake fantasies.

Its not good.

Its a crappy lake that stinks.

Hit the ocean its way way better.

Boggy lake has and never will be a place to mention or rate for windsurfing.

funny that as most of my sailing has been done on the sea...Boggy used to be a great place to sail. If you want to sail the sea go for it but why put down places you obviously know little about.

I never sailed boggy because of the sharks. I sailed it cause it used to get great wind.

Hi Guys
Dont mind sailing sea or lakes as long as theres wind!!!!!!!
Sailed Milang on saturday to see if my gear was all right because its been in a bag for 5 years and its old school,Plus my partner wanted to have a go.All was good and cant wait to get right into it.Cant wait to get back into the sea to have fun.SHARKS dont worry me. Growing up in Mt Gambier all we had was the sea,It makes you a better windsurfer.

Give me a ring next time its on and I will try and get there
