Massive thanks to Water Nomads NZ for offering support to Wave Rally by offering vouchers. The fact they wanted to get involved was a great surprise and testament to how Wave Rally has inspired windsurfers worldwide.

Water Nomads offer long-term rental of premium windsurfing equipment to international visitors in New Zealand. They expanded their fleet to include high-performance surfboards and have since grown into New Zealand’s leading Wingfoil, Surf, and Windsurf centre for long-term equipment hire.

If you're planning a trip to NZ hit them up!
