Whangamata Surf School

Your First Surf School lesson teaches you:

  • about surf board parts, waxing up and attaching your legrope
  • basic skills of control and movement to enter the water, turn your board whilst paddling or sitting
  • how to recover an overturned surf board
  • techniques for paddling through broken waves to catch your first wave
Your Second Surf School Lesson is about spending time in the water learning how to traverse waves, standing up on your board and turning to catch waves. Your Third Surf School Lesson will be spent practicing your new found surfing skills and fine tuning your technique.
 Private Lessons are designed to suit the clients specific requirements whether it be technique, approach to a wave or safety and awareness of the ocean and its surroundings.
