Madloop Windsurfing School and Rentals

Great experience.Wanted to try winging, and try I did!!Very welcoming and great instruction.Out on the water and into it after a great briefing from Tristan and constant tips and technique corrections definitely makes it invaluable money well spent if your looking to get into it as a sport.Thanks Roger

Alan is highly experienced and truly passionate about his windsurfing. He is really helpful and will always provide appropriate equipment. His teaching staff are also super friendly and know exactly what they are doing. Oh, and very reasonably priced too.

This is the best place to learn windsurfing. I'm taking classes here. The trainers are super friendly, they will clearly tell you what you have to improve. Reasonably priced for class.

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!

I'm there on a regular base and it is always good I'm not so much in windsurfing so I go sailing. Value for money is good and I took friends there to learn windsurfing. The instructors are good for all age groups. Alan and his team are selecting the right board and sail for you. You can change the gear when you get more advanced.And it's a nice place to stay. Not so crowded as the beaches in summer. People who wait can find a place in the shade. We also had BBQ there. It's a perfect day for the whole family. Even if you don't go out on the water.Cheer Michael

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!

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!

Alan and his team are really friendly and helpful. Rental is cheap and lessons are really good value, with discounts if you bulk buy. The lake has a good range of wind and will suit most levels depending the weather on a particular day. The fresh water lake is warm in the summer and autumn (not been their in the winter or spring yet). Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to get in to Windsurfing or sailing, or anyone wanting to improve their skills.
