Our Reviews
We rented windsurfing equipment from Heidi and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. She met us near the airport, which was super convenient, and provided us with excellent gear along with great advice on windsurfing conditions and the forecast throughout New Zealand. Their local knowledge really helped us make the most of our time on the water. Returning the gear was just as easy—she arranged to pick it up at a place that worked well for us. Friendly, flexible, and professional. Highly recommended!
I can’t recommend Water Nomads highly enough! Throughout the whole process from renting to delivering the equipment Heidi did above and beyond to help me by selecting the right gear for me after 14 years without been in the water, she even went out of her way to connect me with windsurfers in the area where I was going so I could feel at home. Thank you so much Heidi for all you have done and surely this was the first time working with you but certainly not the last!!!
I came to New Zealand from Chile for a 2-month windsurf trip, and Water Nomads really helped me so much planning the journey and offering me high quality equipment! The were always available to answer my questions with kindness... even questions not direcrly related to windsurf, such as where to sleep or where to buy a car. Also, the prices for gear rental are very convenient and in extraordinary quality. I REALLY recommend Water Nomads for a windsurfing trip in order to use great equipment and also to avoid the airport pains because of carrying your own stuff.
