Kia ora fellow wave riders! Guess what? The days are getting longer, the water warmer, and the Taranaki Wave Classic is gearing up to be a great event.Â
But first of all we want to give a big shout out to the amazing Taranaki surf, windsurf, and foiling locals who make this place feel like home! We very much appreciate you sharing your awesome playground with us, thank you!
When riding waves, there are priority rules and there is etiquette. Respect the locals and their place, and you will have a great time in Taranaki.Â
Give way rules in the wave are pretty simple:
Now that you know the rules, there is also some sort of etiquette, which are the unwritten rules. Those unwritten rules are to be respected as much as the written down hard give way rules.Â
So, a big round of applause for the Taranaki Wave Classic organisers – Taranaki Windsurfing Club and IWT Wave Tour – for turning this event on for all of us! Thank you and see you all on the weekend!
