Hey everyone, my name is Dana Foht, im from the States and I will be travelling NZ from Feb. 20th until April 16th. Main goals are to kiteboard as many locations as possible and to surf and site-see as well. Im writing an article for The Kiteboarder and maybe KiteWorld about my travels.
My schedule is very open for travelling where ever conditions will be best in both north and south islands so if anyone is interested in meeting up and riding that would be great. Just let me know how to get ahold of you or where your local spot is. Or if anyone is travelling around the country too, I should have open space in my rental car along the way.

Hey Dana,

look me up when you hit the Nelson area, call/email/PM.

We'll hook you up for what, where and when.

Put you in contact with the right people at the right beach, introduce you to the local riders, local road trip, downwind sessions - what ever.

It's kiting - we'll see what happens.

Cheers Shane A

Thanks Shane, Dana is in the Cook Islands now and I'll pass this on to him.

Nice, let him know he should try and make it over to Autitaki for white sand and clear blue water lagoon action :!:

Ta.

Hi Dana

Come visit the Karikari Peninsula - top spot in the Far North of New Zealand. We have beaches to suit any wind direction, flat water and waves. White sand and turquoise water - not a bad spot really. I run a kitesurfing school up here - kitesurfnz.com

Let me know if you are heading up this way and we should hook up.

Cheers

Berny
