Auckland – North Shore beaches

Wing Kite Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Auckland's east-coast beaches (Takapuna, Manly, Shakespear Regional Park) and Lake Pupuke offer a spot for most wind directions, with moderate 10–20 knot breezes and the windiest weather from September to November. Wing foiling has a strong following here. Suits all levels; wind is usually moderate rather than strong, and a wetsuit is needed most of the year.
