- Ever thought about going to Western Australia?
Well, it's a BIG place but one city you will have to check out is Geraldton.
This place is a windsurfers paradise and has loads of different beaches offering different conditions
I'm a massive fan of the place and it's my favourite winter destination.
Want to have a quick look at what it's all about?

Hey, when to do a series for Penghu in Taiwan? 40 knots in the winter and 20 knots in other seasons, warm throughout the year, conditions for big ways, freestyle and slalom racing. Great spot there!
Tsz Chung CHAN sounds like a great spot
We moved there in the late 80s, mainly for windsurfing, stayed for 7 years. This video doesn't exaggerate anything about how good the wave sailing conditions are. In fact, he might have missed something out... :)
On the back of this have pencilled in Geraldton for our next holiday, can’t wait.
Epic spot guide! Love WA!! Thanks Ben!!
Wow!! That looks like paradise to me
Great Spot guide . Keep this format up😀
i live here in gero and thanks for making a good film on the place love it
Can't wait to see you at Coro's again!
looks amazing! wow!
Ha , good guide Ben only just seen it, notice our Hiace and awning at the bottom of the screen at Corro, prime spot!!
Nice one!
Only seeing this now, wow it looks epic. Family holiday one day 🤣
Love this spots arround Geraldton and good junkfood
Nice wrap!
Looks luxurious I’ll have to visit one day on my next oz trip
Very good fun, would recommend!
I loved Gero. Was 2014 when I went and I’d go again, but inflation has made it so expensive now.
Ever x-traordinario maestro Ben
Point Moore - stay away from Hells Gate. That bit is aptly named
Hells is the best wave there, early on a south easterly , noone even out, better than corros or the spot
Very cool. Any spots for foiling ?
I actually haven't foiled there. Just have to be careful of the reefs. Coronation Beach (downwind) would be good i reckon.
If we travel from Germany to this Spots there any options to rent Windsurfstuff and Kite?
How do you get there and how do you best get around? I am guessing by plane from Perth, rent a van and rent equipment?
Greyhound. Bus from.perth. if you are travelling for a lenght of time, buy second hand van and sailboard gear.
sweet,, :]
Hellow I have a question. Can you make a Video that you are explaining which sails you should us for freestyle and stuff when you now what I mean. Thank you brotha🙋🏽♂️
Yeah. But the sharks ...!
It's not the sharks - It's the locals you wanna worry about mate!
@@pt8543 How's that?
offringa !!!
Renting gear ?
I think the only options are in Perth. (i'd need to google them) Simmer Style WA, Severne WA, Windsurfing Perth... off the top of my head.
Seems to have enough room for parking and rigging, not over crowed.
Drone Footage is topnotch!! 🕹🕹👍

@Windsurfing.TV Sorry Ben if I really do not like seeing exaggerated commercials on Windsurfing.TV... hope you get good money for it and thanks for the nice pictures.
Exaggerated? it's really not... i Bloody Love Gero... Spent 5 winters there! It's my Favorite Winter destination by far... what exactly is exaggerated?
I can honestly say... i have NEVER and Will NEVER just promote a place because i'm paid money. Any place you hear me being passinate about is becuase i fully believe it. Gero is 100% the best base on the west coast and has amazing sailing spots as i said in the video.
I live in WA and there’s no exaggerations in this vid. We are blessed with some amazing spots and solid conditions from September to April every year. Nice video by the way ... looking forward to that summer sun 🌞 and wind, it’s a bit wet and wintery here at the moment.
@@WindsurfingTV I trust you and pictures are talking for themselves. What I think is exaggerated is to promote the airplane industry while it is so obvious that it should not be what it was before Covid. The vid would had be even nicer without the sentence "Gero is the best winter destination ever"
I like to see other spots on TV and I thank you for that. Maybe you understood better now what is disliked in that video.
Hang on !
@@lucienlagrange38 You have to remember this video/Spot guide will be viewable long after the Covid stuff has died down. So if i make every video and reference COVID 19 it won't age well... and looking back gets a bit boring to constantly hear about it.
So i'm almost ignoring it in my videos as i know most people understand this. We are all big enough to get the NEWs from the relevant News outlets and make up our own minds based on that. Don't need me lecturing and telling people what to do.
@@WindsurfingTV sure, and I agree with your setup but, forgive me, that's not what I'm talking about. My question is, as windsurfers, do we want that world to stay the same logical mess... or do we prefer to change ourselves and enjoy our spots as they are ?
First answer so let's promote one week trip to the antipodes for everyone...
Second answer so let's do more idiots guide about latest disciplines and material that help us to enjoy our spots with what they offer on that moment...
good report, but felt a bit scripted, mate
Well... i never script anything! But the video was made first then my comments were asked for... so they had to be a certain length! So when recording it.. it took me a few times saying similar things to get the timing right.
Maybe why you think that.. but as i said in another comment. Everything i said is 100% true... it's my favorite Winter destination.
@@WindsurfingTV fair enough! Just thought it lacked a bit your usual spark!
