What to askHi University of Auckland Kitesurf Club, I found you on Kite Insider. I am planning a trip to Auckland and I would like to ask about availability and rates.

What they teach

What they sell

This school doesn't list its courses by level; where a level is named, it is in the school's own words on this page. Ask them which course fits you. Which water suits which level: see When to come.

How they teachNot a commercial school itself: rents a club quiver of beginner-to-advanced kites to members and partners with external IKO-certified schools for discounted member lessons.

Wind data:
How this is modelled

Each figure is the share of days with three consecutive daylight hours at 12 knots or more. A weather model's cell over this place, not a station on it, run over 2023-2024. Good for comparing one place with another, weaker for one beach.

Wind on the beach

  • SE through S, SSW and SW all work at Shakespear Bay and Te Haruhi Bay, with SW the direction that comes up most.
  • The wider Whangaparaoa Peninsula has bays open to almost every direction.

What the spot record warns about

  • boat traffic in bays
  • shellfish/rocks possible on some bays
  • rocks near shore and in the water
  • bystanders and other beach users, especially December and January
  • boat traffic in Auckland waters
  • tide-sensitive bays
