Such a fun bunch of like minded crazy people, fun , friendly and professional.We had the best trip, managed to foil every day on a variety of local lakes Lake Ohau, Lake Aviemore, Lake Pukaki only to mention a few. It was so good having someone find the wind for us doing it with Water Nomads definitely took all the guess work out of it.
Even our new Wind surfer friend from Singapore found good wind. Awesome foiling with spectacular scenery, not to mention the amazing food and excellent accommodation.
If you are thinking about foiling in the Canterbury Lakes, Twizel this is a must, join Water Nomads !
Highly recommend, Thankyou Heidi and Beven

Great gear

Great gear, modern, in good shape. Glad I didn’t bother lugging my board and foils halfway around the world. I was worried I’d have to settle for old/beat up beginner equipment, but Water Nomads had good quality intermediate level stuff (65L board, spitfire 900 foil, 4 and 5m PPC wings). No damage on them. They were super friendly and gave me great info about the local spots as well. NZ is lucky to have them.

Professional, prompt and quality gear!

WaterNomads’ owners were prompt in returning messages right from the start and throughout the two weeks I rented from them. Equipment was top notch. It was truly the best experience I could have asked for!

Outstanding Wing Foiling Experience with Water Nomads

Had an absolutely fantastic 3-day wing foiling 'Surfari' trip over the Matariki holidays with Water Nomads, led by the wonderful Heidi and Bevan! As a beginner to wing foiling, I couldn't have asked for better. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and made learning so much fun. We spent three brilliant days in the 'winterless North,' with perfect conditions for foiling and plenty of opportunities to get comfortable on the water. Their enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring everyone had a great time really shone through. If you're thinking of trying wing foiling or want a professionally run, super enjoyable watersports adventure, look no further than Water Nomads!

We rented windsurfing equipment from…

We rented windsurfing equipment from Heidi and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. She met us near the airport, which was super convenient, and provided us with excellent gear along with great advice on windsurfing conditions and the forecast throughout New Zealand. Their local knowledge really helped us make the most of our time on the water. Returning the gear was just as easy—she arranged to pick it up at a place that worked well for us. Friendly, flexible, and professional. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience

Spent 6 days on the Canterbury Lakes safari with Water Nomads Feb 2025. What a brilliant experience. Heidi & Bevan are fantastic hosts who have a wealth of knowledge of the local area to ensure maximum time on the water in spectacular scenery. I’m from NZ but living in Northern Ireland I was coming back for an extended holiday & wanted to wing foil the lakes. Doing it with Water Nomads took all the guess work out the right locations plus amazing food & transport included. Couldn’t recommend this trip enough.Tim

What a blast - Canterbury Lakes

What a great trip - Water Nomads have it dialled in for Wingers on the Canterbury Lakes. It’s the closest thing to paradise for wind sports. I’ll be back

Waternomads, the best for renting wingfoil equipment in New Zealand…

Waternomads made me happy by providing the right wingfoil equipment during my month stay in New Zealand. As there are no local surf stations, you better call Heidi and ask to arrange a board, wing, foil or whatever. She is easy to reach and she makes sure that you get the right equipment. Moreover Waternomads knows the best surf spots in this big country, so I was very happy with my board the best spots and the friendly service of Heidi.

A perfect hire

Very cool gear! It just feels better to travel along with some wing surf equipment in the car. Collection and drop-off was easy to arrange, and best of it, Water Nomads made the rental possible, even for a very short-term request.
