Progressive Surf Lessons for ALL Levels

From the absolute basics to advanced techniques, learn to surf with confidence with Aotearoa Surf School

Each of our surf lessons, whether in a group or private, aim to teach beginner students a range of surf skills including beach awareness and understanding the wind and waves, surfboard design and use, how to catch waves, a good paddling style and how to master the pop up technique and riding the wave.

For those a little more advanced, we look at teaching students how to accelerate and turn the board, getting out the back, positioning and wave selection and timing, take-offs and getting down the line!
