Awesome Autumn Winds


Yes, summer is drawing to a close and Autumn is nearing. This is not a bad thing here in Ruakaka if you are a kiter. In fact it is awesome, because we are expecting more wind and stronger wind than what we see through the summer.

This is also the start of the great down-wind season. The half-moon shaped Bream Bay is 22km long and has a lovely sandy beach with many 'breaks' to explore along the way. We are also expecting more swell thanks to those cyclones passing off-shore. So if you are a wave kitesurfing enthusiast come join us for a session and you can try the new Decay Kiteboards' Scimitar, Cutlass or any of the other boards in their range for that matter.

If waves are not your thing then do not fret, as we have two lovely flat water estuaries and a large harbour with waist deep water to chose an uncrowded riding location from.

While you are up here in beautiful Ruakaka you may like to try a new kite too. We have demo kites from Ozone, Naish, Flexifoil, Ocean Rodeo and Gaastra for you to try. If you are not confident enough to be out there kiting on your own, then you could always book a kitesurf lesson with one of our experienced kitesurf instructors. If you would like to add some spice to your riding, then why not book in for an advanced kitesurf lesson?

So many choices in our bit of kiteboarding paradise, where every wind direction is covered within 5 minutes drive of the Ruakaka Kite Sports shop. No-wonder New Zealands only kiteboard factory is based here - where else would you have a development centre with such a variety of options on your doorstep?

Hope to see you for a sessions soon...
