New Zealand Board Sailing Meeting

Bruce Kendall, multiple Olympic medal winner and Yachting New Zealand's High Performance Boardsailing Coach, will host an Introduction to Olympic Boardsailing evening, Thursday 2nd of May, 7.30pm, at the Royal Akarana Yacht Club, Okahu Bay.

We are aware there are a number of young sailors interested in getting into Olympic Class Windsurfing, and are unsure of the first steps. This meeting is to help understand why they should get into the sport, how to get into the sport, and the pathway through to the Olympics.

Boardsailing is the least expensive Olympic sailing class. New Zealand Boardsailing has a hugely successful Olympic history, and those entering this sport can capitalise upon the knowledge of our top board sailors.

This meeting is open to all interested parties.
