5 day Learn to Surf School Camp
his is the ultimate in surf coaching! Our instructor will work with the kids every day to ensure their safety and make sure they are progressing to a good standard so they enjoy their surfing. The kids will be surfing every day in conditions that best suit their ability. Parents are welcome, and this is a great way for the whole family to learn to surf.
Learning to surf is all about
1) Having access to the right equipment, which we provide.
2) Finding the waves that best suit your ability.
3) Being given the right instructions and coaching.
Most of the kids are beginners and progress extremely fast. We have many kids that have been on this trip a number of times and are now intermediate surfers.
Where do we go?
Our tour heads north for the simple reasons of the sub tropical water and climate, the remote and unspoiled beaches, and the consistency of the surf due to the proximity of the 3 coasts (North, East, West). The surf up around Ahipara is ideal for learning to surf, and there is always a good learning wave somewhere in the area.
Why would you come with us?
We have our own exclusive lodge (Ahipara Surf Lodge) which is located right on the beach in Ahipara. In front of the lodge is a very good consistent beach break, which offers great learning and longboarding waves. We have been running these trips for 7 years, you won't find better!
