They are at 260-262 Railway Parade, West Leederville.
They have new
and second hand gear, such as Stuart Bell and Ezzy Sails, Delta boards
and masts and booms to suit most people.
They are also the distributor
of Thule roof racks, and will hire roof racks out for most makes of cars
at reasonable rates. This is very useful for those doing the Windsurfari
with hire cars. It should be noted that the addition of roof racks to hire
cares may void insurance contracts. It is useful to check on that.
SurfSail Australia contact details are
here. They also have a
comprehensive and useful
web page.
On this page you can find out about all their services,
from new and used gear sales, gear hire, lessons, etc.
SurfSail do a great hire gear deal. They provide good gear and accept breakages within reason
(ie. normal wear and tear or faulty gear breakages are OK). A friend hired from them for
the 2003 - 2004 season and found the gear of excellent quality (skinny mast, carbon boom, new board, good sails).
He broke the boom in a place where it should not have
broken (ie. gear malfunction) and there were no questions asked. You can't have better than that.
Here is an album of the shop.
