Madloop Windsurfing School and Rentals

"Mad Loop is the best place to learn all wind water sports. I've been coming here for almost 20 years and now my kids are all learning here too. Alan is an asset to the community, bringing the joy of the outdoors to so many people who may never have got the opportunity to otherwise. He caters for absolute beginners and the more experienced who just want to get the wind in their hair for a few hours. Get out there!"

"Alan and his team on Lake Pupuke are amazing! For a complete wing foiling novice, their approach to teaching and patience has made the whole process so easy. All I had to do was show up and Alan’s team took care of the rest. Highly recommended!"

"Alan and the Madloop team are professional and fun. They got this elephant foiling and now I tell all my mates to come here. For any beginner, please just call these guys and book lessons. You’ll get up and along faster by mowing the mechanics earlier.. highly recommended!"

"Want to connect with the wind and water in Auckland? Alan and his team at Mad Loop are the best! Alan taught me to windsurf 17 years ago when we were here for the America's Cup - I was in the harness and foot-straps in no time enjoying heaps of amazing days on the water. Now, I am learning to wing foil and it is so much fun!! Alan's enthusiasm for wind sports and knowledge of technique and equipment is world-class and, as always, he is right out in front of the curve with foiling and wing sailing. Highly recommend!"

"Today my Girlfriend and I went for a Stand Up Paddleboard on a calm day at Lake Pupuke through Madloop. We had an awesome time just cruising along enjoying the scenery and beautiful day! What surprised us the most about our experience today was how many young children were out on the water learning how to windsurf or sail! We felt very safe paddling between the beginners as they all had their own personal trainer beside or behind them, teaching them where to go, what to do or what to keep an eye on. I even managed to snap some stressful photos on my phone whilst on the water. There was plenty of parking so getting there was a breeze, just make look out for the park entrance (I have attached a photo of it to this review). Additionally there are toilets right next to the parks in case you forget to go beforehand!"
