Windsurfing New Zealand recognised windsurfing schools and instructors

Windsurfing New Zealand trains windsurfing instructors, publishes guidelines for windsurfing schools and certifies schools that meet WNZ requirements.

Currently the School Certification scheme is under review so none of the schools below are formally certified by WNZ at this time - however this programme will be restarted soon. Most of the instructors in these schools are certified either by Windsurfing NZ or RYA (Royal Yachting Assn. - UK), don't be afraid to ask about this when contacting them or any other training / instruction facility. A properly trained and certified instructor will ensure that you get the best possible start to your windsurfing experience. They will be experienced and familiar with all the practices necessary to keep you safe.
