The Far North 
Much of the far north is unchartered by windsurfers, but there
are many bays and harbours which offer good conditions for the
adventurous. There are few towns, so care must be taken when
exploring - make sure your vehicle and equipment are trust-
worthy. On windless days, take a bus cruise along Ninety Mile
Beach or to Cape Reinga, the northern- most tip of NZ.
