Flying Forwards windsurf school Whangaparaoa for sale

Updated: 11/05/2014

Flying Forwards windsurf school is located at Whangaparaoa. After 7 fun filled years they have decided to get a ' proper' job. The reason is due to working weekends v's family commitments.

The school runs well and is able to pay a hefty mortgage and feed kids.

As it is a mobile windsurf school run out of a van and trailer it is possible to run it anywhere in country. However they would love to see it run in Whangaparaoa, as it has existing customers and a great reputation.

Tides
Saturday high tide: 8.30am | Sunday high tide: 9.40am
hot spot
The Weekend forecast not looking to promising. A big high over the North Island, with light West
to SW winds. We might get some sea breezes late in the afternoon but windguru and other sites
all say a similar thing. Light winds.
With very little wind about it will be a matter of keeping an eye on a late afternoon sea breeze
filling in and big gear, otherwise get the Sup out. There might be some light wind formula sailing
at Pt Chev close to the high tides if the forecast holds.
