My local gets pretty quiet this time of the year, so it's easy to self isolate. I went out for a foil yesterday on my own, two people had been out earlier, and as I was leaving someone else was rocking up for their own bit of self isolation on the water. Unless we are told it is illegal, (they are currently saying that going out for a walk or exercising for an hour or so is okay. It's essential to keep the body, mind, and spirit fit. These certainly are unprecedented times.

Swan River on Monday, a few near Point Walter but else where - not a soul. Today there was two kiters out including myself.

In NZ there is no driving to do exercise, You can walk/cycle around your "block".

If you magically live next to the beach, going in the water is frowned upon as that could lead to a possibility of emergency services being called on.

So short answer. All watersports have been canceled in NZ.

But I can still ride my mountain bike!

Excellent idea no chance of an injury mountain bike riding, especially as you seem to be a conservative guy

Honestly folks, Going down to your local for a surf or kite is totally different to being tackled in a AFL or Rugby league game just keep social distancing. There is absolutely no social contact, I don't have beers with mates any more after a sess and they are pissed that I don't offer them a coffee from my machine in the morning (yes I am a nerd I have a coffee machine in my ute and a fridge). There is more social contact with walking the dog around the block. Even with your dog off lead people pat your dog away from you (Yes that is transmission)... Take away shops are not cleaning their surfaces down after every customer...

If they really want to get on top of it LOCK IT DOWN.... Bogans my way will just ignore the cops go camping and dirt bike riding... We are just trying to dull the curve off the majority of us will get it. The bad thing is we are coming into flu season and the northern hemisphere is coming out of it...

Yes I was gutted to hear. Even though I live close enough to the beach to walk down for a nice SUP or kite, I'm not allowed in case I get injured.

Stink.

I would but I forgot to stock up on carbo shots for my fanny pack

.... They still having kiteboarding sorted in Italy/Spain etc.. It's just a bit 'like this' now..
