Hi, Im going to be working in New Plymouth this summer. Anyone got any first hand info on windsurfing there? I would wavesail mainly, not interested in flat water or slalom blasting. Is there a local windsurf shop there now ( I think there was one in Oakura), or should I just take my own gear? I usually sail a 75L quad with a quiver of 5.2/4.7/4.2, but was thinking of getting a 85L board to give me more wind range.How many days a week would I typically get to sail - are conditions consistent in the summer or a bit sporadic? I know the taranaki wave classic is on the week after I arrive, so this might be a good chance to get some gear sorted. appreciate any wise words or suggestions! cheers.

Send an email to James Dinnis via the Carbon Art web site. He's at Taranaki and a very keen wave sailor. Enjoy its a magic coastline

thanks guys, also to those who emailed me direct. will let you know how it goes.
