Taranaki Wave Classic
24–26 OCT 2026
Quite possibly the BIGGEST windsurf event in the southern hemisphere! Come and join the wavesaling event that’s focused on fun every year.
The Taranaki Classic has been running since the early 1980s. Some years gnarly and double-mast heavy. Some years playful for all levels. Most years, absolutely epic.
Labour weekend, October 24–26. Windsurfers from across NZ, Australia, and beyond. Old friends. New crew. Same stoke.
Whatever the conditions deliver, everyone who shows up has a cracker of a labour weekend.
See you in Taranaki.
