The National Kiteboarding League (NKL) Series is here, now, in Christchurch, and the forecast is windy!!! Based at New Brighton beach from Thursday Nov 19 through Sunday Nov 22, look for flags and kites - New Brighton beach for waves, the Estuary Kite Area for freestyle, and watch out for BIG air.
Also this weekend Nov 21-22, the Windsurfing South Island Cup round 1 @ Dunedin. Check the Dunedin Windsports Association (DWA) Facebook page or email Paul Villestra
Traditionally the Windsurfing NZ AGM is held during the Windsurfing Nationals (21-23 January), this year in Christchurch. The date and time are nominal as it has been found in previous years that the easiest way to run the AGM is to slot it in during event downtime - it is not practical to have it while racing is on, not popular or appropriate to halt racing for the meeting, and attendance is best if we schedule it while members are waiting for racing to start.
Minutes of the previous AGM, and agenda and any other material will be posted here soon, and notified on Facebook.

The Snake Bank Classic is a no holds barred open sailing race for anything with a sail. 2 events, one includes windsurfing, the other has SUP - Open sail race on the Whangarei Harbour on Saturday 30th January 2016. Last year was its inaugural year and we saw windsurfers racing against kites, dinghies and one lonely keeler for the prestigious title of the Snake Bank Classic Trophy.
This event is for everyone who can confidently sail a windsurfer. Races will be organised according to ability, all entries go in the draw for cool prizes, and there’s no pressure to compete - it’s social, all about participation, it’s about sailing better. Given that, there will also be some serious competition and that will be worth watching! There will also be some pretty cool gear to look at and maybe try, including some very new kit! This is also one round of the 2015/2016 North Island Cup.
