Hi

I'll be emmigrating to Wellington in February next year and wondered what the quality of kitesurfing was in and around the city.

What sort of kit are most people using? Is there a 'standard' size kite that people are never without? Where is the most popular spot?

I'll probably be looking to buy my kit once I arrive, and have a couple of hours training / familiarisation on the kit too. Can anyone recommend a good shop (NZ wide) that would offer this?

Cheers!

hi there

contact Mike Cann, he is the 'ring leader' of kitesurfers in Wellington and helped me get into the sport and knows his shit. his email is: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Wildwinds is the shop that got me on the water. they also offered a lot of advice and are a good contact. their email is:

or you could look them up when you arrive and stop in.

The NASH import is Earl..
His number is 025586620.
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.
