The best kite schools in Oceania.

Oceania is big, wild and blessed with wind. Australia's coasts alone cover more good kite spots than most continents: the sea-breeze machine of Perth and Western Australia, the flatwater of the Gold Coast and the tropical trade winds of Queensland. Add New Zealand's harbours and the Pacific island lagoons and you have a region built for riders who want space and clean water.

The season runs opposite to Europe, so it is a genuine summer escape when the north is grey. The listings above cover the schools, shops and camps our community rates across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.

Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific

Western Australia is the powerhouse — Perth's Safety Bay and Lancelin get a howling summer sea breeze known as the Fremantle Doctor, and Exmouth and the north have tropical trade wind. On the east coast, the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Queensland offer flatwater and warm water, while South Australia and Victoria have serious wave and wind. New Zealand's Auckland harbours, the Bay of Plenty and Wellington provide gusty, scenic riding. Out in the Pacific, New Caledonia and Fiji hide world-class lagoon spots for the adventurous.

Summer when the north is cold

Oceania's kite season peaks from November to April — the southern-hemisphere summer — so it is the antidote to a northern winter. Western Australia in January, with its dependable afternoon sea breeze, is one of the most reliable warm-weather kite runs on earth.
