Taranaki Wave Classic — Event Cancelled for 2026

24–26 OCT 2026

The official Taranaki Wave Classic competition will not be held in 2026.

If you were hoping to make the trip, Water Nomads are still running their self-drive surf trip over the same Labour Weekend (22–26 October) at Oakura — a fully catered wavesailing holiday for intermediate to expert riders, just without the competition attached.
