| Kitesurfing |
All courses follow the IKO (International Kitesurfing Organisation) assessment system. Our instructors are IKO qualified and at the end of each course students will receive an IKO card with their achieved level. All the necessary equipment is provided for students (excluding food and drinks) and the courses last between 4 and 5 hours per day depending on the wind conditions. Students are advised to wear a hat and apply sun-cream as they will be spending a lot of time in the sun. Students must be 16 years or older, although we can teach children under 16 with their parent’s permission and presence.*

Courses in New Zealand...
In
the case of no wind situations, we have plenty of other activities
to keep us busy on the beach and water. We will cover any theory
and safety components of a course in low wind conditions and we
always have a race tuned Thundercat standing by should we want to
practice any wakeboarding, skurfing or just go for a blast!
•
Safety boat cover – A race tuned ThunderCat is used for this
purpose, with a top speed of over 80kmph, you’ll always be
assured of a quick pick up – this is a buzz in itself! Courses
with Extreme Sports Cafe are the complete deal from providing your
kit, to re-booking if the wind's no good and of course that all
important insurance cover. Tuition is usually based around the local
tides to ensure you have shallow flat water to learn in.
Our kitesurfing school in New Zealand is operational full time from October until March, each year. We don't stop kitesurfing though! Please contact us for other locations when this area of the world is out of season for kitesurfing.
Whether you want to learn or have been kiteboarding for years our safaris are the break for you. Our safaris start in Auckland and take in the west coast beaches, inland lakes, 90-mile beach, Cape Reinga and The Bay of Islands. This scenery in these locations is some of the best New Zealand has to offer. The Northland area as it is otherwise known also gets the best weather in New Zealand, well known for its so-called, endless summer.

Kitesurfing
New Zealand - 
Kitesurfing
is one of the newest members of the family of extreme sports and
therefore carries certain risks. Our primary concern at Extreme
Sports Cafe is your safety when kitesurfing, or learning to kitesurf,
and we ensure your learning experience is a safe one by teaching
to the IKO standards. This means that we only use IKO professional
Kiteboard Instructors and use all the safety equipment recommended
by the IKO, namely:
Our
mobile unit will head north to an east or west coast beach,
day 1 will include 3 hours of kiteboarding tuition and related
activities. Depending on where the wind has taken us and
what the weather is doing we will set up camp using cabins
or backpacker accommodation. Day 2 will include breakfast,
3 hours of kiteboarding tuition and related activities.
This safari is totally spontaneous, you are fully involved
and if you want to do something out of the ordinary, as
long as all concerned are in agreement, well lets do it...
Our
mobile unit will head north, we will travel to the best spot
for each days conditions, whether it be an east coast beach,
west coast beach, inland lake or one of the many deserted
beaches at Cape Reinga. Each night we will set up camp at
a campsite, cabins or use backpacker accommodation. Breakfast
snacks and drinks throughout the day are included, however
evening meals will not be included. We will eat out, or grab
some stuff for the BBQ. This safari is a great way to see
Northland and experience the amazing scenery and different
cultures that New Zealand has to offer. 
Kitesurfing
is the fastest growing water-sport, therefore it is no surprise
that there is a high demand for qualified instructors across
the globe. Our kitesurfing instructor course looks to take
