Geraldton Windsurfing Club (GWC)

The wind and kite surfing capital of Australia!

With this site we are endeavouring to promote the Geraldton wind and kite surfing scene to the rest of the world. With a base in one of the windiest places in the world you can easily see why windsurfers and kite surfers flock to Geraldton each year from all over the world.

Geraldton Blast 2002 at Point Moore.With magnificent clean beaches, lots of wind and plenty of sunshine, Geraldton is the best place to base your windsurfing or kiting adventures in Western Australia.

For those with a taste for a bit more adventure we even organise trips to the Abrolhos Houtman Islands off the coast of Geraldton. Big ocean swells, and lots of wind, these islands are fantastic for windsurfers, kitesurfers or surfers. Great scuba diving or fishing amongst the beautiful coral reefs, or just the fun of sharing the adventure. The Geraldton Windsurfing Club has lots to offer so contact us about joining the club while you are here.

You are only cool if you play it safe! (updated 10 March)

Unfortunately we had some visitors in Geraldton lately who did not leave a very well impression. 

Without naming persons, or point to wind or kite surfers, it is important to make sure that you do know the local Geraldton rules in relation to wind and kite surfing if you visit our beaches as they are different than in other parts of Australia or World (where some beaches are closed for windsurfing and or kiting) 

If you have any doubt, click on Safety Information to check if you know them or contact Gavin for Kiting (0427 922 206) or Mick (0429 644941) for Windsurfing.
