About the Business

Welcome to Groundswell Sports Ltd, located at Christchurch, Ferry Road, 1030. As a renowned establishment and point of interest in New Zealand, we are proud to offer a wide range of products and services for water sports enthusiasts.

Groundswell has a rich history in kiteboarding, being New Zealand's original kitesurf school and retail outlet. Formerly known as Sailboards Underground & Underground Kiteboards, our shop has been at the forefront of the kiteboarding industry. Whether you're a beginner looking to take your first lessons or an experienced rider in need of new gear, we have everything you need to enjoy the thrill of kiteboarding.

But our passion doesn't stop at kiteboarding. Groundswell has been actively involved with stand-up paddle boards since the early days of the sport. Whether you prefer riding the waves or exploring calm waters, we have a wide selection of stand-up paddle boards to suit your needs. We even offer windsurfing equipment for those who want to take their water adventures to the next level.

Speaking of windsurfing, Groundswell's association with the sport dates back to the early 80s. Under the name Sailboards Underground, we have been dedicated to driving the sport forward and providing windsurfers with top-quality equipment and accessories.

In addition to kiteboarding, stand-up paddle boarding, and windsurfing, Groundswell was one of the first wing foil shops in New Zealand. We have been instrumental in launching this exciting new sport to the masses, and we continue to offer the latest wing foil gear and equipment.

Stay up to date with the latest news and releases in the water sports industry. We are proud to announce that we now have the NEW 2023 Slick D/Lab & MOD3 Slick available in store. These cutting-edge products feature a mini boom for direct steering, fast response perfect for quick rotations, and a moderate wing span that is easy to handle for riders of all sizes.

We are also excited to introduce the Fanatic Aero Glide Foil set, a highly efficient high aspect design that offers endless glide, increased downwind performance, and pumping abilities. Available in sizes 725, 905, 1085, and 1305, the Aero Glide is a must-have for wing foiling enthusiasts.

At Groundswell Sports Ltd, we are passionate about water sports and dedicated to providing our customers with the best products and services. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, visit us today and let us help you make the most of your water adventures.

"I have been there 2 times, Allan was giving helpful advices each time to find the best gear for me. Great location just in front of the main windsurf spot in Christchurch. The place to go for wind or kite."

"Extremely professional team and great range of equipment available in store. Definitely the place to go. Having kite-surfed at other schools, we can confidently say our time learning at Groundswell was the most comprehensive to date. They made us feel immediately welcomed. It is re-assuring to see how serious they are on kite safety aspects. We have purchased kites and boards and it has been a pleasure dealing with them. They know their products and they are happy to share the knowledge. Competitive prices too!"

"I am greatly disappointed in this shop. They sold me a windsurfing harness that they said as per the manufacturers instructional video showed them how to convert the harness over to kiteboarding. The handle pass line was rigged incorrectly causing damage to my new piece of equipment. The buckle weave for the webbing is inconsistent as per the images supplied. Minor thing easy to fix but shows a leach of detail on their part. I wanted to then rent a kite as I am a medium level experienced instructor. They stated their company policy which I am ok with but disappointed as I know of two other kite shops in NZ that rented me kites on my short stay. I had to buy a kite to get out on the water as the estuary is the only place they would do a seminar lesson to watch me use their gear I suppose. I bought a switchblade that had a tendency to back stall when unhooking a little easier than what I’d like. When I returned to kite after deciding it wasn’t the right style of kite for my riding style they said the best they could do was store credit. Shame they seem to be soo focused on selling eq to their customers that isn’t the type of equipment their customers a necessarily looking for in order to make a sale."
