While also visiting family in Sydney, I ran across local sailors on Botany Bay in/around Brighton le-Sands district. Good conversation but no shops/rentals in area.
Another good local spot is in Kurnell (just outside Sydney), on the Bonna Point Reserve. Again, no shops/rental in area. Look for WS gear in parking lot, and sailors/kiters on the water in this Google Map link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=34.00.26.49S,151.11.34.15E&mrt=all&sll=-34.002649,151.113415&sspn=0.007187,0.009656&g=34.002649S,151.113415E&ie=UTF8&ll=-34.007375,151.194556&spn=0.007186,0.009656&t=h&z=17
Lastly, I posted inquiry on forum at http://www.seabreeze.com.au/, and was directed to shop and rentals in Collaroy (just north of Sydney). Good folks there, and on the forum.

A bit of time has passed since this thread was active. Has anyone found a Windsurfing resort location in Australia or New Zealand? Some where that has rental gear and accomodation at a good sailing spot. I will be there in December for most of the month and would like spend some time windsurfing.
