Mount Maunganui is a surfer’s haven, a true nature’s playground. Hibiscus Surf School have taught hundreds of people to surf here, from pre-schoolers to the grand age of 74. Their experienced tutors will show you how to break through your barriers and become one with the ocean.

The lesson has a maximum of 6 participants, ensuring personalised instruction within a small group setting and fantastic bang for your buck!

The Aloha Group is for those new to surfing. All you need is togs, towel and sun protection, you’ll be provided with a top quality board and full-length wetsuit.

Beginning with a 20 minute beach theory, you’ll learn about the sea and how to remain safe and aware within it, along with how to find your way around your board, paddle and pop up.

After a beach demo from your instructor you’ll hit the water, where you’ll be propelled into small waves. There’s plenty of fun and feedback to ensure you’re having a good time while you learn how to master the surf!
