Anyone with experience please help a guy out.

Who sells windsurfing boards, wetsuits and car racks?



Anyway, there's some foreigner in Busan who has his own dock and water sport club but I'd like to stay away from sea riding (sharks, etc.) 600,000 for a yearly pass.

There's a dock on Andong Lake where I tried wakeboard one season so I might check them out again.

Got no experience on the ones you mentioned, but let me say that I am totally into water sports.

The direction of this thread is hitting a strange level.

I'd recommend checking out Chungju Lake. When I lived around those parts there were some people I knew who went up there to water-ski. Here is some info about the area from Wikipedia:

"Chungju Lake is the country's biggest multi-purpose dam that links together Chungju and its neighborhoods. It is a manmade lake with a vast body of water. Woraksan Mt and Songnae valley are located nearby. Additionally, this area has cherished cave area/springs. In 2013 it will host the 2013 World Rowing Championships."

If users preface the original post then we wouldn't have this problem now would we.


Don't feed the trolls.

Where do you live? in busan?
I know along the Han river there are various spots where people windsurf and they have small shacks they rent and storage areas and things like that. If you're near any of those, I'd say just go on over and have a chat with them.
There is one not far from Ttukseom resort park station.
