Hi All
Does anyone know much about kitesurfing in New Plymouth, New Zealand? I am heading to NZ in 4 weeks and want to know where the best spot is and whether it's mainly just wave riding or whether there are a few flat water spots too as I have a friend who is keen to learn.
I did notice someone on the forum was from New Plymouth but cannot for the life of me remember the username and I also tried searching New Plymouth in the forum but the search came back with nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Great wind, plenty of waves and flatwater between the swells. No harbours as such and pretty exposed to the roaring forties swells so you'd have to look hard For a true flatwater venue. Maybe the odd river mouth lagoon around up north or down south, not really sure.
mostly rocky coast along the surf coast with a few sandy beaches close to town and around opunake.
Awesome, wild coastline though.
Yep. I'm in NP. I've sent a PM.
This time of years fickle for wind and waves. So it may be stupid windy and massive swell or buggar all wind and no swell.....
Yep, NZ to a tee. Anything can and will happen at any time of the year. But it can produce the goodies for sure.
