You can camp at the Reef Hotel. I think they charge a bit though... $40/night.
There are other campgrounds in the area.

I'll ask Shane and will post more info as soon as I can

Hi,

These are the options I would suggest

1st. Reef Lodge 09-4087100, he usually dosn't have campers but I understand hes setup a few sites, the advantage being your right there where its all happening.
2nd. Tokarau Beach Motor Camp 09-4087150, about 10minutes drive from Rangiputa, basic camp setup, where we usually stay. Mind you if the winds are N/NE/E they may end up kiting off Tokarau Beach.

Thanks ... Aubrey

It is a pity that a kiting comp had to be promoted in a crude way
as I'm sure there will be some great kiting.

it has been commented that I support this comp
because I have posted accommodation advise

As this is an open forum
Please refer to a my comments Saturday on NZKiteboarding forum
.......

I think it is insensitive of the area they are kiting
some may think its fun how its been promoted
but the image portrayed is disrespectful of the area and its local people.

Like today in Paihia local iwi have placed a Rahui
until the young tourist who drowned body is found
though the wind is looking great, to go out would be disrespectful
and would damage the image of the sport here big time

I might be somewhat old fashioned in my views
but I think its all about respect
I mean no way will I show the info to my wife

If you need some advise on where to stay yes
But me support the image .. no

On a better note, theres wind Tuesday at Rangiputa
so if your up this way shout out
Day off, sun, SW, before the crowds

... Aubrey
...

Maybe the comp and advertising companies would get more support
if the image was more accepting and respectful to the masses.

respect is good - I sure don't think an event like this is/or ever should be for the masses though - what a scary thought.

Look KiwiSunn, maybee you should take up chess or bingo. If you dont like what we are doing then dont come. As far as dissrespect for the guy who drowned in Paihia!! We are going to be miles from there. And does that mean everytime someone dies on the rd we shouldnt drive our cars!! Come on thats just crazy talk. We are all going to hang with friends,drink,talk sh*t and maybee even go kiting. Im sick of the fun police ruining good times. I suggest you roll a big fatty and just chill out. No dissrespect! Call me a Kunt but get a life please.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
