After an earlier post on the forum, finally made it to Perth and had a quick peeky at the beach today and creamed my pants... stunning beaches and what's this easy on the foot material.... ah I heard about this somewhere, must be SAND!!!!

I lugged a couple of skinny masts over with me and my trusty 4.2 Ezzy. So need to get the rest of the kit.

I was recommended the used kit forum here and these shops:

windforce.com.au
www.2ndwind.com.au
www.windsurfingperth.com.au/
www.surfsailaustralia.com.au/WindHardware/Windsurfing
www.windsurfing.net.au
sossurf.com.au
dan.com/buy-domain/windshack.com?redirected=true&tld=com

any others? Haven't quite decided on strategy for used kit yet but in the market for a 5-5.3 and a 6.3 ish sail, if anyone has anything of that size they're looking to get rid of PM me, my masts are 430 and 400 so not sure if a 6.3 will fit on that?

For boards dependent on cost was thinking of a 100-115 ish freestyle board and a smaller 75-80ish wave board. Or maybe just an inbetween board, say 85L. I'm only here for a year this visit so perhaps single board option? Advice on whether 85 L is a good size board for local conditions around Perth + Lancelin?

75l wave board with a 4.7 or 5.0 and a 5.5 for the light days, any lighter than that, then go sight seeing, or go out for a few drinks.
