The whole team was extremely helpful and went out of their way to ensure I was a safe rider and to give ongoing help and advice. Great group of guys, throughly recommend them :-)

We had our first 2 kite lessons with Kitesurf Nelson and just loved it!

The teachers were awesome and we are really getting into the sport now! We are able to rent the gear now to practice and that just makes it very convenient! Thanks heaps guys!

Kitesurf Nelson introduced me to paddling boarding a couple of years ago and I absolutely loved it and am hooked, I'm now in the process of wanting to purchase my own gear and Shane has gone out of his

way to let me try all sorts of boards and paddles to make sure I get what is right for me. The quality of the gear that Kitesurf Nelson has is awesome and they go out of their way to make sure they have what you are after at a great price. Will be back there to get my paddle boarding gear once my savings have accumulated :)

I had always pretty interested to learn how to kite surf, so i went and talked to kite surf nelson.

I decided to take some lessons and they were great at teaching me all the skills i needed to get going. After I had the basic skills shane hooked me up with some gear and I was set to go. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to get into the sport

My name is Buzz and I'm addicted to kitesurfing.

Take up kitesurfing and you'll end up like me and most of the people on this review page... endlessly checking wind forecasts, downloading iPhone wind gauge apps, bookmarking met service web pages, and justifying to loved ones the purchase of equipment and gear from Shane. Why? He's professional and makes the extra effort to understand the customers needs and requirements. The instructors he employs are a fun and friendly bunch, patient, and very competent.

So, if you're thinking about taking up kitesurfing and need some advice, perhaps a few lessons... book a weekend trip to Nelson and visit Shane and his crew. Be warned, once you're hooked you'll want to keep going. See you on the water.

I am so happy that i made the decision to give kite surfing a try.

I have been falling in love with this sport since the first time I saw a kite up in the air above me. It´s just so much fun even though the first tries to stand up on the board were quite tricky and it was more like being on the board, falling down, getting up and falling down again. But I think I am kind of getting it :). And it was the best decision I could have made to learn it with Kitesurf Nelson. I didn´t know anything about this sport but I had the feeling that they definitely know what they are talking about!! The instructors are just awesome and I felt safe and looked after at all times. I have had a fantastic time so far and I really can say that Kitesurf Nelson made my stay in New Zealand even better. Thanks for that guys. You are just amazing.

So, to everyone who´s been thinking about giving kite surfing a try: just go for it. You will see you are going to have a great time, heaps of fun and the awesome guys of Kitesurf Nelson around you.

Nelson is the perfect place to learn to kitesurf and Kitesurf Nelson are the perfect team to learn with.

My experience with them has been fantastic. The instructors were brilliant and a lot of fun to be around..always putting safety first and always there with good advice and ongoing support when I was ready to go it alone. The shop is right next to the beach and has everything you need to get you geared up for kiting and more. Shane gave me a great deal on my gear and the lessons were excellent value for money.

Their knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and continual support has helped me take on the most exciting sport ever!! Thank you guys...you rock!

Starting KiteSurfing last year with some excellent advice from Shane and the Kitesurf Nelson crew.

They can always be counted on for assistance on the water and you know when Shane is out because he is the one helping people with lost boards and problems. Because of Kitesurf Nelson I have really enjoyed learning this new sport and have always felt that Shane has my best interest in mind. Outstanding - Thanks.

Kitesurf Nelson is an excellent operation, very professional, knowledgable and always very helpful.

The crew at Kitesurf Nelson, Shane, Sue and the rest of the instructors are willing to help as much as they can, that and rescue my board everytime I loose it :-)

I would reccomend these guys to anyone who is looking at getting into kitesurfing and buying some gear.

Can't agree more with everyone, Kitesurf Nelson is definitely the place to go for lessons and gear.

They are always keen to give good advice. Even after my lesson Rom and Shane both spent time with me and gave me some really helpful tips - now I am up on the board, I just need to go out more often :-)

Thanks again for all your help Shane, Sue and Rom, it is very much appreciated!!

The people from kite surf nelson are awsome!

The lessons were great, with knowledgable instructors who still provide you with tips and tricks after you already finished your lessons, and keep an eye on you when you get out there on your own!

I bought all my gear at the shop for a good price, and the after sales care is simply the best. Shane, thanks for all the help! :)

My boyfriend bought me a lesson with Kitesurf Nelson for my birthday when I was visiting his hometown.

Sue was amazing and totally got me hooked. She was friendly, patient and obviously passionate about kitesurfing. Since returning to Australia I have just bought all my kiting gear from them online and it was a way better deal than buying it here! You guys rock and can't wait to see you again next time we are in Nelson.
