guys I'm heading to perth for easter, and then to geraldton for a few days (mon - wed).
I'm going to hire some gear from a shop up there, but am wondering where I should go for a few small waves??

I'm thinking of hiring 80-90ltr board, and 2x sails, 5.3 and 4.7. Im 70kgs.

Thoughts>
Where is the best place to hire stuff from?
Thanks..

There are 2 shops in Geraldton and I think both of them hire kit. 'Geraldton surf and sail' which stocks mostly Ezzy, naish, and exocet. The other store is 'G-spot' which stocks mostly Starboard and Severne. I'm from Perth but I've found both shops pretty good to deal with. I would also recommend Mark at 'Surf sail Australia' in Perth if you wanted to hire there and take gear up. I would check the forecast before you hire/go up! Main windurfing season in WA is late spring and summer. Trying to score wind in easter is a gamble and you're mostly relying on cold fronts which can bring good swell but the wind is generally onshore and very gusty.
