Hello all. Just joined your site. I want to learn to kite!! Been putting it off for years. This trip to NZ I wanna make it happen. I'll look around the forum for better places to post , but looking to learn in the Whangarei area, and that's where the family is...Seems there was a school in the Ruakaka area, but I don't seem able to contact them.
Thanks much!, looks like a great site

Welcome to the sport and to the forum!
I hope there’ll be plenty of people to advise on wind conditions at your NZ spot.
I hope you got a trainer and practicing already
