What others say:
"Hi, I just wanted to write to you to say THANK YOU! My Dad loved his lesson last month; I think it was the highlight of his trip to New Zealand. Mark was a great teacher and everything was just perfect – the rain even stopped just as they got in the water."
The 3 hour learn to surf package includes your lesson, board and wet-suit and some practice time.

Share LinkGreat time with Pat !
We had a very pleasant time at Westport during the training. Pat is very patient and dedicate while explaining the theory of sea and surfing. He didn't hesitate to join us in the water to help us and cheer us on ! We therefore could quickly jump on the board and "surf" a few waves. A real accomplishment for newbies like us ! Thanks again Pat, we now have the basics to continue our learning :-)
