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.

Lovely experience!
This was a really good introduction to surfing! The teachers are very experienced and try to teach you some proper surfing skills unlike many other companies. After that you head to the beach with your teacher and get some further advice and good help from them. The last hour you are free to practice to surf as you like.Weird they left us alone then and did not say goodbye properly though. Overall I would recommend it! Tauranga Bay is a beautiful and challenging but manageable place to try surfing for the first time.

Great surfing lessons!
Great introduction in surfing, with some theory beforehand. When we hit the water Mark kept an eye on everyone and was telling what went right and wrong. We were only with 4 people so it almost felt like a private lesson. Go here if you're looking for some proper guidance in getting to stand up on the board. 🤙
