Awesome experience!
Me and my partner were stoked with our two hour surf lesson in Te Arai over the Easter weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Definitely makes us both want to get into surfing now. Awesome instructor, the weather put on a show for us and the way we were taught was super fun and easy to follow. Thank you, we will be back! :-D

Surfing in questionable weather ?
Weather was windy and waves were patchy and inconsistent. Instructors did their best with a big group. Might want another lesson to go surfing again hopefully with less people next time.

Hi Kevin Thanks for your review We have no more than 1 coach to 6 surfers, most of the time 1 coach to 4 or 5 surfers.. We run rain or shine, just not lightning, tsunamis or cyclones.. May I suggest a private lesson next time. Thank you for your review Che GM
