Friendly and chilled!
My family loved meeting Pat and his chilled and calm nature. My youngest really took to it and now wants a surf board! Took my husband a little longer to master but he managed it as well. Everyone had a great time and left being able to stand on the board. We plan to hire boards from them today to keep practicing! Such a beautiful location as well, I was very happy watching

Unreal time with an amazing teacher
If you’re in the area you absolutely have to take a lesson here. Second to none and I wish I spent more time here so I could go back!

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.
