You have possibly found us as you wish to learn to wing foil. We often get asked if we teach wing foiling. Unfortunately we need to say ‘no’. Our focus lies on hiring out premium watersports equipment to experienced riders to take on their holiday throughout New Zealand, and to organise our famous Surfaris. Our Surfaris bring you to the best spots in the country, and our expert local knowledge gets you on the water as much as possible. Where there might be some informal tips from us or other guests, there is no formal instruction.
To help you get to a level that you can enjoy our premium wing foil rental gear and join our Surfari’s, we created a list of New Zealands wing foil schools and you can discover wing foiling lessonsnear me, the list is in alphabetical order of location.
