Thanks for those who have responded – not a lot of replies yet, possibly the wrong time for this so feel free to keep responding (earlier post below) – in the mean time if you are interested in lessons contact one of our instructors, and if you would like to promote or be part of a social gathering let us know too – we keen keep going informally/socially while we weigh up the options.

Note: if you are just starting out we may be able to help with gear – get in touch.

Wellington Windsurfing Assn. was deregistered during Covid and we are exploring options. We are still encountering people interested in trying windsurfing and wingfoiling so we are keen to retain a pathway for them to be introduced to the sport.

We are looking at setting up Wellington Windsports  to help newcomers into windsports through teaching, equipment and social activities, while also representing the sports in advocacy issues etc. when needed.

The group could include all windsports (wind, wing and kite) but would expect those interested to manage their sports activities with support of the group. Social activities and advocacy for all windsports people could be combined where appropriate. In particular we are keen to see windsports instruction retained and extended to include introduction to winging.

We are looking for indications of interest from the windsports community, all the way from “yes, I’m interested, keep me informed”, through to “yes, I’d be happy help to getting started”.

The current plan is to close down WWA completely and transfer the remaining assets to Windsurfing NZ to hold in trust while the possibility of a new wind/water sports organisation in Wellington is explored. If a suitable organisation is created the assets will be returned, otherwise the assets will be transferred unconditionally to Windsurfing NZ for general use.

If you have any thoughts or questions please contact us. We will report progress here and on Facebook.
