I bought a foil in the carpark there once, but it seemed pretty easy to get on just about anywhere in cairns
Yer, the doc is right....to risky these days, sniffer dogs going thru domestic baggage last time I was there....
just head to dougies, set up ya tent sing a few tunes....support local trade
Is it worth bringing a foilboard to yorkies knob, or is it too shallow?
Aside from the jokers...
Yes mate. Yorkeys and Trinity Beach are good for foiling, but don't go near the river banks as they tend to be shallow and full of beginners (or crocs!) anyway. Both need high tide for foiling as long as you can launch in a small beach area above the tide mark. Or walk out 200mt to waist high water at least.
