This is a weekend where Water Nomads spoil you with superb food, outstanding accommodation, and the introduction to the best local spots to sail. We show you how the conditions work around this fabulous mountain and provide all the tips you ever wanted. We share time with you on the water, brief you in all the hazards and take professional action shots of you on the water.

With its 270 degree exposure, the Taranaki coastline offers great conditions in nearly any wind direction. However, it also poses the risk that you miss out on some great conditions, as one place might be absolutely calm, wheras it’s blowing 30 minutes down the coast. That’s where our local knowledge comes in: We make sure, you are at the right spot for the day!

If there is really no wind anywhere (what is unlikely but can happen) we will find a wave to go surfing / SUPing, go for a hike or check out one of the local surfboard / windsurf manufacturers.

You don’t have the right gear or simply want to try something different? Let us know. Water Nomads can provide – by prior arrangement – board and gear rental on site.

Excellent catering provided.

Advanced instruction can be organised.
