Close your eyes and imagine your ideal windsurfing or foiling trip. It’s probably not a sweaty tour bus, a guide herding you around, a school camp, or a wild party. Our Water Nomads Surfari Trips offer a completely different experience that caters to your passion for the sport and your sense of adventure. Our Surfari Trips are designed for a small group of intermediate to advanced windsurfers and foilers, ranging from six to ten individuals who share your enthusiasm for living life on the water.
Lake Pukaki is always a favourite during our Canterbury Lakes Discovery Trip. Everyone is keen to get that money shot! Fair enough, as the scenery is hard to match. New Zealand’s highest mountain Aoraki Mount Cook and several other snow capped mountains are towering at the Northern end of the lake. We give you the […]

Being in the center of the storm, it was supposed to be absolutely windless and we feared this weekend would be a first: A whole Surfari without any wind! No!!!! But the last day proved […]
Did you ever play the game of dreaming up your perfect spot? We do it quite a bit, and the result is fascinating. Let’s start with the rigging area and access to the water: Do you prefer a sandy or rocky entry? What about a grassy rigging area with some shade (so you can place […]
We just finished our inaugural Canterbury Lakes Discovery Trip. And all I can say is “Wow, it’s been an amazing week!” There is always a fair bit of nervousness before a Surfari Trip, especially a Surfari to a new destination. Is everything going as planned? Caterer, rental van and trailer, accommodation,…..? Will we be able […]
Wow, what a journey it’s been! 5 years ago on a hot and muggy February day in Auckland, the idea of Water Nomads started to take shape. Since then, we came a long way. And we learned a lot about running a business. The initial idea was to close the gap of performance windsurfing gear […]
