KITESURFING.
Groundswell was one of the original kite schools in Nz.
Due to current government legislation, the costs to comply outweighs the ability to run a school. So currently Groundswell does not offer kitesurf lessons. Groundswell is still happy to help & answer questions, and offer advice, so please contact us if you have any questions.
-
Also the local club - Canterbury Windsports Association, (CWA), is a good local contact for more kitesurf info.
- The closest school is in Nelson - KITESCOOL.

- There is also Facebook page for Christchurch kiting, local knowledge and keen kiters happy to help out.
