Do yourself a favour and gift yourself, your mother, sister, aunt, friend, or daughter a weekend away on one of Aotearoa Surf's women's wellness retreats! Beth was a phenomenal host, setting a beautiful tone for our weekend together, taking care of all the little touches around the edges (everything from fresh flowers and candle, to birthday decorations for a participant, to whipping up the dishes). She was an outstanding, engaging surf instructor, made us all feel at home and warmly welcomed, and genuinely shared our stoke for being there. I'd been hesitant going into the weekend exhausted but Beth's inclusive and dynamic energy drew our whole group right in, and I left feeling recharged and inspired!

Just had such an awesome women’s surf and yoga retreat weekend. One of the best weekends I’ve ever had! Fun, beautiful accommodation, glamping in a tipi, thoughtful food, amazing yoga space, and I learnt so much in the two surf lessons we had. Beth, the instructor, was sensational all weekend - such a lovely soul and she went above and beyond to make our weekend super special. Highly recommend and great value for money. Thanks heaps guys!

Had the most amazing time at the Women’s Wellness Weekend. Che and the team were brilliant. Accommodation was modern and clean. Food was delicious! Ophe, Hannah and Tiger were fantastic surf coaches providing support and guidance. Will certainly be back for more lessons!

I had so much fun at the Women's Wellness Retreat in Mangawhai! Our host and instructor Beth was such a lovely person. She was accommodating, enthusiastic, supportive and gave the whole weekend a positive vibe. Our small group was brought together by her so well and it was a wonderful experience to make that kind of connection with her and the other ladies.

Surf Sistas! Amazing team and coaches, couldn’t recommend them enough. They not only teach you how to surf but also all other aspects of the sport. The best coaches in the world!

Joined the Surf Sistas programme and loving the chance to learn how to surf with a fantastic group of women. Lee has been awesome as an instructor, and Che’s enthusiasm is pretty contagious.

Great location as well - plenty of space to get wave time during the lessons.

Surf sistas worked. I am now getting up most of the time, and enjoying the wipe outs the rest of the time. And I now have a great bunch of friends to surf with! Our instructors were amazing, I mainly had Beth who is so positive, friendly and clear on the key points, but the others were friendly, helpful and fun also.
