Hey there.

I'm a study abroad student from Germany. In Germany I live at the baltic sea so now I was hoping that I can also go kiting in New Zealand as often as in Germany. Therefor I brought all my kitesurfing gear with me. But now I have no idea where I can go kiting. I found a Google Map with spots to go kiting.
The problem for me is now, that I don't have a car and I don't know any people to go kiting with.

So I'm looking here for some people, to go kiting and maybe carpool.

Please feel free to contact me.

Niko

Hi Niko,

You don't say where in New Zealand you are living, but I will assume you are in Auckland unless you say otherwise.

There are lots of us who kite on a regular basis, and I'm sure won't mind picking you up on the way to the beach in exchange for food, or a few dollars towards petrol.

Here are a couple of links to locations, but there are lots more:

Hi Michelle.

Thanks for your answer.

You assumed correctly. I'm living in Auckland.
It would be very great if someone of you could pick me up. Of course I would exchange some dollars or food for the favour.

Looking forward to here from you again on a windy day

Cool - if you are on facebook join this group:

New Zealand Kitesurfing Facebook Group and post if you want a car ride - its a good place to network with local kiters and some of us chat a lot of facebook about where we will ride that day.

Hey that's a great thing.
I will join the group right away. So we will read from each other at least when the wind is good.
